Is a galaxy map in the works? The code used for rotating the ship models in the buy ship screen would probably work well. :)

Yes, we'll probably add something like that next time we do a major universe expansion.

I love you, Vlad.

Oh yeah, I meant to post this earlier. We may put this on an in-game menu if it becomes necessary, but I don't think the sector map is TOO complicated just yet.

Anyway, have fun with it.

Ooo... That's useful... Would it be possible to make it so that that appears if you press the f3 key or something?

Maybe the sector stats window can be tabbed, so one view has the map with all the "explored" and "unexplored" areas, and another tab can be for a bigger chat window, and another tab for giving money and other inter-player activities, and the current one (with the sector stats).

i say press, like f11, it pops up.
Ideas ahead!;
1) Make the hud remember locations of stuff you find automatically
2) make chartting equipment that takes up 1 or 2 small weapon slots
3) make secret sectors sell a map to you for a fee, good for those lazy explores.
4) make it so when you destroy a ship it might drop a data bank, you can pick it up and head to your home sector for it to be decoded and you get the navigation information.

Additions;

I think the devs should start as is, but is barely explored, you find new sectors and the server should document that, your hud should remember it, and when 10 different people have entered it will have it so in the next update they are on the hud for everyone and some more will open up, maybe the devs could plot out a huge map and it will last for well over months.
