Exploration notes
« on: January 28, 2020, 04:20:48 AM »

During exploration sometimes I get hints about the location of survey ships, mother ships, planets etc.
Sometimes I leave behind some of these after I have found them, like the guardian or the survey ships in the early game.

What about a tiny ingame tool where we could make notes about systems and the ability to highlight these systems with notes in a separated category on the map?

Other than that I get these partial data-banks, hints. Could these be deletable? I have many obsoleted hints, like systems with habitable planets, already surveyed. This isn't a problem until I have many of these without a clue which location I checked already and which is "fresh info".

The next version of the game will have better cleanup of exploration intel, including a "delete item" option.

Nice to hear. But I can not not ask: what about our own notes? Like "there is a huge pile of metal - cant fit it all", "research station - ready to loot", etc.

It's something I'd like to look at, just haven't had a real opportunity to! Maybe just icons, maybe with a bit of text; will have to see what (if anything) I can work in at some point - it's definitely on my radar, but it's also a pretty low-priority item compared to most other things I've got to add :)
