Particularly in relief fleet reports, the destination is listed as just the planet name. If it isn't a system I live in, I have no idea where they're going since there doesn't seem to be any way to get a system map when you aren't in said system.

(There's a minimap in the message detail near the top of the intel screen, with the relevant star highlighted.)

While the Minimap is helpful, when I'm looking through a ton of events (and the game will have more systems one way or another, so this minimap will get cramped) I like the name of the system in particular.  Perhaps a better way of showing the minimap could be done, where it shows the system next to the minimap and does some form of crosshairs

[Alex]

Yeah, I'm talking about the minimap way at the top of the intel screen. It has the name of the system and a crosshairs

(I.E. this isn't the intel map with all the event icons on it.)

[TheOverWhelming]

I'm using mods, so excuse me if this isn't exactly correct.

The faint crosshairs never seem to move and the font in the box, while informative, blocks the other systems

[Alex]

Oh right, the crosshairs there show your fleet's current location.

The name blocking other systems isn't an issue; the goal there is to show where the system in question is, not show a comprehensive map of the sector.

[TheOverWhelming]

Maybe my problem is that I can't always tell which system is the highlighted one, even with the words and the change in star brightness (I aint always lookin at it).  If no one else finds any issues with it, it might just be me
Didn't even realize the crosshairs were where I was at, urp durp

Having finally gotten a chance to look at it, the highlighted system in the minimap is the source, not the destination, of the relief fleet.
