Ah ok! Thanks for getting back about this :) I wondered about the right click-drag thing....but since it's intentional it makes sense, cheers. I agree with what others above have said though - don't make this a permanent change please...super irritating. If people want to navigate by clicking, they can do that without everyone being forced to do so by removing the right-click/drag feature.

On the rotation speed - I checked just to make sure I wasn't crazy......a full click+drag across the width of my screen rotates the current map 2.5 times, but the new map 1.5 times.

Another two things I noticed;

A. The old map loads for me defaulted with esoteria/paragon soul at the bottom of the map (if you are looking from 'above'). The new beta map loads by default the opposite way (with esoteria/paragon soul at the top edge).

B. When docked in station - the old map hides the station services window when opened; the new map does not.

We are absolutely working on getting the right-click-panning feature back into the map once we have fixed it :)

When the new map opens in 3D mode, it's rotated by 180° compared to the way the old map was oriented. Only when switching to abstract mode it gets rotated back.
Please change this so it always opens "the right way" (Branch on top, , as this is quite confusing.

Other than that, I like it. Clearly not finished yet, but on a good direction.

Came for the right-click issue, but commenting for others now that it's been addressed.

The new center on current solar system button is nice, but please make it retain map orientation and zoom distance.

Ps, love the pulsing route that's visible in sec status mode.

I have run into a minor issue in the new map. When hovering over a star in order to get system stats, it is hard to read the information due to the mouse being right on top of the first 2-3 characters of the top line of text. This forces me to click on the system in order to read the info without my mouse needing to be right on top of it. Perhaps instead of having the information appear below and to the right of the targeted item, it appears above and to the left of it? Just a suggestion. If I'm missing a quick fix to this please let me know.

Try to group systems by regions, this will show only starsystems in region you currently are.

We have a route now, time to merge probing with it.

I'm using small version of new map in my right lower corner of the screen (for travel), can we have a shortcut to jump to fullscreen (i now there is a map button but keybind is faster).

Also gathering intelligence from new map is pain (jumps per hour, average players in 30 minutes etc.), i don't know is it colours or just 3D, flat map just show it better.

Oh good a Dev thread on the new map.

I once had a big problem with the old map, in that whenever your cursor would pass over a star, it would change the jump route 'selection lines' to the star (constellation or region) that the mouse cursor was passing over or hovering on.

This is not the sort of behavior I was looking for or expected. After all my 'selection' is the star (constellation or region) that I have clicked on, not what my cursor happens to pass over. I didn't and don't want the selection lines I'm interested in changing just because my cursor bumped into a new item (which is not hard to do given all the stars, constellation and region names.

Much to my elation, this behavior was fixed in the new map. Now when you selected something (like a star) the jump route lines for that selection (be it 'selections lines' or 'selections regions lines' remained in place. Awesome!

However with this latest release in Proteus you've gone back to the OLD behavior, where the lines will change all over the place as your cursor moves over new items. This is extremely annoying. Do players actually prefer this behavior? Why was it changed back?

Well I for one can't stand it doing that. I only need to see the lines for the star I'm clicked on, and maybe the region's lines (in which case I can use that option or just click on the region name). I would then like to rotate, pan, and zoom the map without having to have the lines change when my cursor goes over something else.

Can you please change that back, or at least make it an option to use one behavior or the other?

Thanks!

Question: why can't I use the right mouse button to drag the view around like in the old map?

So... The newest revision of the new map.

I'm still debating how I feel about the way information on the star systems is now being displayed. Parts of it I like, parts of it I don't like. Anyhow I'll need to think on that one a bit more.

I'm still hating the jumping lines issue. I would like (at least an option) for the lines to remain static for the system you have selected (clicked on), rather than moving whenever your cursor goes over a new system. You had it working as I liked in a previous incarnation of this new map, then you went back to the way the old map worked in this regard, which I always hated.

One thing I've never particularly liked about one of the Personal Statistics data you can show, is the "Systems I've visited" one. Which shows you the number of times you've been in a particular system. I don't care for the fact that it shows even system you've merely used the star gate to pass through the system as a "system I've visited". To me that's not a visit. A visit should at least be having gone somewhere beyond the star gates.

This causes some weird display effects as well, because the system I spend almost ALL my time in these days has a smaller circle (and number of visits) than the next system over which I pass through every time on my travels (it's the only stargate) and yet spend no time in at all. It's getting all the love as my most visited system by far and yet I spend literally no time there.

So I'm thinking having two different Stats.

• The Number of Visits would show how many times you've visited a system (and preferably not counting gate travel but only going someplace in the system beyond a gate (or warping between gates).


• And a new one, Time Spent in Systems would show the cumulative amount of time you've spent in any particular system. Anything less than a certain amount of time would merely show up as a colored dot, rather than having the circle around it (sort of like Assets is doing now when there is only one asset or so). So most jumped through systems would only be colored dots without the circle, having not spent much time in those systems. And the system(s) you spend all your time in will have the largest circles.

Perhaps we could get away with just the 2nd one alone.

Thanks!

Okay. I think I've decided on one thing I don't like about the way the map shows data now.

The fuzzy colored spheres around systems. It's okay when zoomed out, but if you zoom in far enough (say to solar system level) you are now INSIDE the fuzzy colored sphere and your screen becomes that fuzzy color. I do not like that. I'd prefer it to be clear when zoomed in to solar system level. So maybe you can eliminate the fuzzy sphere on that particular system when you are zoomed in. (Maybe when the borders of the circle move past the edges of the window).

Also, you simply must tell us what data we are looking at (in text) somewhere on the map (like at the top of the map).

So, say if I'm looking at "Escape Pods destroyed in the last 24 hours", it will tell me that at the top of the map.

Finally, I'd still like to eliminate the display of each systems' Security Rating next to the name. This is something which should be an option for map settings (maybe with a quick key to turn it on or off, or a button somewhere).
