Player Features and Ideas Discussion

In the several years I have been playing this game I have attempted to make use out of the maps brought up by the [F11] key maybe only half a dozen times. I have never found them to be useful. Obviously it is quite possible that they are much more useful then I have been able to understand. Every other time I have hit that button it was a mistake.

The two maps both brought up by the [F10] key (solar system and the star map) are very useful and I use them both constantly. It is however a slight inconvenience to not be able to switch between the two map modes quickly (is there a hotkey i am missing?). A lot of times when I am using the map the, map panel goes missing then i need to hunt for it to switch modes. Sometimes even a few fractions of a second can make a big difference. More often it is just a slight hassle.

I would like to suggest that the maps from the [F11] key be scrapped or put somewhere else and let the other two maps which both currently share the [F10] key each have their own key. I would like to bring up the solar system map or the universal map at any time with a single keystroke. Obviously I have managed this long this way, it isn't breaking the game as it is. It would simply make it a little bit better IMHO.

I am also genuinely curious do other people use the maps in the [F11] key?

I do actually recall using the bottom panel to help me with D-scan when I first started out. It is helpful for visualization when you are learning. I don't use it anymore though.

Good point though.

I use the F11 regularly to see what systems enter into constellations to set up scouts/camps without having to deal with the main star map as it stands you can re-bind the F11 key to something else and if CCP can i don't see why they shouldn't separate the solar system map and the universe map so they could be bound to their own keys

+1 for more options

if it has a hot key you can set it yourself if CCP added a new one odds are it won't be bound by default
