Suggestion: system names instead of their number on universe map

Mission description says: bring this to Helix system sector D-2, /me opens universe map and sees only numbers there, and finds Helix system by clicking all the systems. Is there any easier way to find system you need?

I agree. it would be much easier, and nicer, if it would show the name of the system, and not the number. the same about the message when you jump to a system: "you are entering the helius system" instead of "you are entering system 26"

yes, I would like to see the warp system at least read which system you're jumping into when you do. So instead of saying "You are entering D-2" it says "you are entering Helius D-2" even if when firing your warp engines it only reads the letter-number designation later.

It would also be beneficial if the names of the systems themeselves were displayed on the Nav Screen. It is horribly innefficent to be clicking around all the systems trying to find the correct one, why not just label them?

Also, on the checkboard or as I've seen several taking to calling it the "Battleship Board", could you please list the letters and numbers along side? such as

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A[][][][][][][][][]
B[][][][][][][][][]
C
D
E
F
G
H
I

etc etc, just so that it is a little easier to visualize it? It would reduce the several clicks trying to find the correct row and then several more to find the correct column.

SO.. if we request diffrent things here:

- double click on system in nav should 'zoom'
- double click on wormhole (in zoom) should move you to zoom view of system where the wh leads to
