My main base/settlement is Gurjaras I4, in the settlement of New Mogadishu. Nearby, I know there is an Archive Exchange Vault and a Holographic Tower, both useful buildings that can be hard to find.

If I had a map, I would like to be able to see these structures from birds eye view, and be able to place waypoints. That way, I won’t lose the vault and not spend 20 minutes circling my settlement looking for it.

It would also make charting sectors useful, giving you a reason to seek out charting points and get an overview on the area that embues the world with more depth and life to the planets your on. That way, settlements like New Mogadishu actually feel like real places that are alive and have structure to them.

Experimental 12/10

​

• A new difficulty setting has been added which allows players to lock themselves out of any further difficulty settings changes. Once enabled, this action is permanent.

• The strength of starship specialisation bonuses have been increased, so that higher-grade ships receive greater inherent bonuses to their stats. This scales steeply with both class and ship specialisation, so that eg the Explorer class ships will have significantly further warp ranges.

• As well as damage, shield and warp bonuses, starships now also have an inherent agility-based stat, which benefits all maneuverability upgrades in the same way as the other specialisation stats affect their relevant upgrades.

• Stat bonuses on procedural jetpack upgrades have been increased.

• Stat bonuses on procedural hazard protection upgrades have been increased.

• Stat bonuses on procedural pulse engine upgrades have been increased.

• Stat bonuses on procedural hyperdrive upgrades have been increased.

• The drop rate of Spawning Sacs retrieved by the living frigate from fleet expeditions has been increased.

• Significantly reduced the likelihood of incoming damage to break a piece of technology while the Exosuit shields are charged.

• Fixed a number of issues where different popups would take the same scrolling input.
