WOW just got off work and hopped onto SISI to check out the new map and very nice job. I really like how it shows the gate line to the gate in the connecting system and the abstract view, can't wait until scanning is added.

This alone is already love.

Any chance of getting this to eventually run on a tablet like BF4 Battlescreen?

*) this is *) perfect.

finally, a sense of connection between systems.

now allow me to set a transparency and make it inactive until I hit a toggle key such as TAB.



*) = *Snip* Please refrain from using profanity. In other words: tsk tsk, language....ISD Ezwal.

Aside from the other stuff listed here by the others I'm also seeing that when things are grouped and you get a "super star" you can't see the bracket style cursor on some of them cause itss so bright.

Hey!

Been waiting for this :)

1. When zoomed in, I would like to see bookmarks, so I could quickly warp into them after entering the system.
2. Limitless pins/markers for player to stick where ever (moon, planet, station etc.) to include note.
3. A huge range or pins/marker icons for players to fill their map and personalize it.
4. Give the in-game map the importance it should have had from the beginning, that we cant live without!

Good work, thanks!

The new map is looking good.

Useful things to add to the current map:
1) When using filters to find things like clone facilities, it would be helpful to have the station also highlighted so it is easier to find in a systems with multiple stations. (Having an option to show closest and have it set as destination would always be helpful).
2) System summary when zoomed in on a system, how many people in it, how many jumps that day, how many in space/docked, kills in the last hour/day, always useful info to have.
3) Tool tips for the stations and other celestial objects, so you at least know what you are looking at.
4) Show locations of Corp (hopefully one day Alliance) assets in space, from Secure Containers to Starbases, seeing the locations of them on a map would be helpful at times.
5) Show the locations of bookmarks.
6) A tagging or pin system if you want to record something of interest.

Tactical Map
If there is ever such a thing as a tactical map, then something that can switch between a real-time 2D/3D representation of a target system would be really useful. There are times when planning an attack it would be nice to be able to get an idea of what the scout is seeing without having to FC and be all the scouts as well.
1) It doesn't need to have little models of ships flying around, color coded ship representations would be enough, e.g. white for neutrals, red for enemies, purple for fleet. This could be generated from what your scouts see and only what they can see.
2) Begin able to issue commands to Wing/Squad commanders or even move a Wing/Squad from the tactical map would give a new strategic level to fleet combat.
3) System data, a summary of what is being processed by the scouts to give an idea of what is in system, so number of friendly ships, number of "known" enemy ships, "known" ships and pilots (this one might not be practical in a massive fleet fight) generally any useful and relevant information to making command decisions.
4) Distinguishing between piloted and un-piloted vessels, and friendly cloaked and uncloaked vessels.

Wormhole Mapping
This one could be interesting, as third party programs are ok for this, but it does lack any connection to the game, and doesn't really support movement as such (you know where you are going that is it). Some of the issues around WH mapping are the bookmarks for the WH having no connection to a map so if you have a chain set up and want to move a fleet fast, you cant just set destination (I am cool with that and I am used to it, just pointing it out). Moving around WH space is very reliant on bookmarks, and if you are in alliance or working with allies then sharing this is painful, some of it would be fixed with Alliance bookmarks. So that is kinda where we are in WHs now I guess.

So if I were to design a system for surveying WH systems:
1) It would have to be based off of bookmarks, maybe making it easy to add and remove chains. Adding a WH should be as simple as jumping into the system and clicking the WH and it is added to the chain and by deleting the first bookmark of that chain all the related ones are removed.
2) Being able to share WH chains to allies would be helpful, maybe simply dragging a link into a channel and clicking on it would be helpful.

The map for WH systems:
1) it would need to store and show both notes on things found in the system and bookmarks unrelated to any WH chain, so if you have visited, POS and ownership information are retained.
2) Being able to see all WH systems and switch to being able to see the ones in your current chain.
3) Clear distinction between the different types of WH systems C1, C2 etc. And the types of connections between them, Frigate Hole, Capital Hole.
4) Information on the WH, Could give estimated mass left on holes based on friendly traffic through it, Estimated time to collapse, (It would be nice to have some kind of probe to make that data more exact).
5) Information on WH systems could be displayed better, as you can get so much from Dotlan, it would be nice to get the same in game too, for example what effects are present in that system.
6) Being able to give friendly names to the WH's in the chain, even if they are only internal Corp/Alliance use and allow them the be stored for the next time you connect (it would be cool if this could appear next to the system name even out of map view).
7) Also being able to set destination based off of the chain would be useful for moving a fleet around and stop pilots warping to the wrong hole or old bookmarks.

For WH space it is all temporary and having a system all members of a Corp/Allaince can access and get the right information at the right time could make for more interesting encounters and speed up fights happening. If you are working with people and can share the locations of WHs instantly (within 5 mins at least) instead of transferring bookmarks to a can and flying out to meet people it would be a massive time saver.

This looks great !

When exploring I usually take every wormholes I see leading to lowsec which means I always end up in unknown regions and when I do I would love to have a map that tells me where I recently went, I currently use the radar on dotlan for this but having it ingame would be a huge improvement.

We could have a start tracking and stop tracking buttons/menus and nce started every time you jump ina system its color would change (or maybe a filter could show it).

could we have ..
- select a system say Amarr and then have it show us all routes too it from our current system say halaima?
highlighting and showing the names of the gates along the route

1. Please make the first line in the route (from gate) appear on space overlay too!

2. Make smooth transitions between grid view and solar map (star map) views. Like I press F12 and it zooms me out to the system level, then I press F12 again and it floats to the star map, then again - and alas! I'm on grid.

3. Show those 3D nebulas from screen overlay in full 3D on the space map too! Unfortunatelly I don't think they are properly aligned for this purpose. But when you do, make smooth transitions between interstellar jumps like for a system warp! It's gonna be soo cool!

All in all, Love new improvements and exited to see more similar stuff in the future!

P.S. For the long run, because you mentioned a plain for DOTLAN-like tactical map. Consider an official feature of a personal chartered map construction for wormspace explorers much like Tripwire and a-like services offer. Allow ships to exchange their wormspace map info on close contact.
