EVE Information Portal

i found myself going back to the old map , as a regular map user i use the statistics section alot, i look at jumps per hour , kills per hour , stations in system etc , old map all these things were easy to identify , new map not so easy , does not give me enough information for planning routes imo.

also i would rather have an arrow instead of the square , not sure if this can be changed and iv'e just missed something

First, I really like this new map. Having played around with it a bit I have a suggestion:

Add a checkbox to have the map follow the "you are here" icon as you change systems. The map will already snap to the "you are here" when you open it but it would be great if you could also enable that to happen when you jump.

EDIT: Second request - would it be possible to have the map window minimize when the title bar is double clicked as well? I'm guessing this is only missing because the map is still Beta but thought I'd mention it in case this wasn't intended to be added.

Can you make New Eden's nebulae visible on the new map, as they are in this Dust 514 trailer? This would really help people orient themselves in space.

I want to express my appreciation and thanks to the entire team that is working on the new map. The feature is pretty great atm, and a sheer pleasure to use, and I am hope that it will end up even more functional than the previous one.

Awesome new map.
Haven't seen a Dev response yet, so just adding a +1 for making sure bookmarks make it onto new map.
Thanks for all the great work.

I like the new starmap, But is there any way to add how many au a system is across ? also can you also add a filter to let you know how many au a planet is from it's sun? this would increase functionality and allow players to plan in advance which systems are best suited for safe spots farther than 14.1 au from any known celestial objects.

Add "show bookmarks" in the map, by a system of checking / unchecking the bookmark folders.

Add the ability to mark or highlight systems by right-clicking them / by any means of "linked" system support (chat, info, etc)
"Lets see... there's an Unindentified Structure here.. and here.. and over there.."

I love the "group by regions" option. I'm doing a system-by-system scout run across New Eden, region after region, and being able to sort out the other regions, planning the tour for a certain region is far more effective and easy.

Someone here said the background should show other galaxies instead of stars.. I don't think so. As I understand it, New Eden is not a whole galaxy, but a star cluster inside a galaxy. It's a less than 100 lightyears in diameter, while for example the Milky Way is some 120.000 lightyears in diameter. CCP, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Switching from abstract layout to normal wiew is flawless. But switching back automatically zooms you out of the area you were looking at. Please remove that, zooming back in and adjusting your wiew again is annoying.

So far, I love it as well.

Couple things now that it's been updated:

1) One other VERY BIG issue that I would like to point out is that using right click to drag the map around does not work!

This means that it's nearly impossible to navigate to a star on the other side of the map if you're zoomed in and clicked on something. You're basically stuck with the thing you've clicked on centered on screen, which should not be the case. At the moment the only way to look at another region for example is to click on a system from being very far zoomed out, and that system will then center on screen. It makes the map very uncomfortable to navigate.

2) The map rotation speed is still slower than the old one so it feels sluggish and not easy to move around.


I'm SUPER happy that the stupid square mouse has been removed, thx for that CCP! The pointer is much better.

Please don't make this change a permanent one.

The pan feature is really intuitive and was my favourite feature that the new map has over the old one.
