Map should center itself on player fleet
« on: May 20, 2023, 07:28:37 PM »
Not sure if there is a particular reason for the map not centering on the player fleet, but it's a small thing that I would appreciate instead of having to manually adjust it every time I open it as I travel around.

I'd prefer a hot key to center on my ship when I'm in the map screen. Sometimes I keep the map centered on core worlds so I can quickly tab and right click a core system and make my way back in from the edge.

  • Excellent imagination, mediocre implementation.

I'm almost always at maximum zoom out so map centering wouldn't make much sense

I have some ideas but can't sprite worth a damn and the ideas imply really involved stuff which I've no clue how to even tackle.

I would very much like the map to centre on the current location of the player fleet.
This has been a minor but ignorable issue forever, but the introduction of gates has made it much more noticeable (and disorienting).

If this does become a reality, it should not be huge task to have a toggle somewhere to set the map behaviour.
