I ask because I had an idea come together from a couple mods and other ideas mentioned. What if we changed navigation to revealing more about the universe around you? like level 0 navigation the map just shows stars, level one the stars have names, level two the jump points are shown, level three the jump point names are shown (though that might get crowded quickly) level four number of stations in a system is shown, level five factions are shown, etc.

I'm not sure how this would work with the fact that it tells you your destination when you click on an object, maybe just change that to a general description? "Setting intercept course for star"?

Well, Uomoz manged to hide all the fleets on the Hyperspace map, and made a "radar" functionality when you had the system map open.  I'd suppose you can hide things, although I'm not sure if you can make things appear after the player does something to it, e.g. click the star or something.
