Ore Locations (auto map the scanned ore)
I like most folks have spent a lot of time flying around in search of exotic minerals in space. Currently my process is to fly to each asteroid, circle it to see what minerals it has, stop, open my map/gps, save a gps location and label it using the minerals i found... This is a long process and it clutters my screen with gps locations. Sure we now have the option to see/hide specific gps saved items but that's not a real fix...
What we need from a distant future space game is a map inside the map section that shows all the scanned asteroids and planets to include the exact locations of the minerals we have found... Basically using the current space map but let us zoom way in so we can see the individual asteroids and the minerals they each have. Additionally have the ability to sort by mineral/distance, so if we need silver we can pull up the map and set a waypoint* to the nearest silver deposit and go mine it. (Or send our NPC helper to go mine it for us)
This would allow us to more quickly fly around an asteroid belt, get close to an asteroid, auto scan/save the minerals and move onto the next. Also as we mine/remove the mineral the map would auto update (*assuming we have the ore finder turned on or have the mine tool in our hands).
Could also have as a HUD overlay option where we can chose the transparency, size, color, shape of the icons etc. Lots of fun futuristic options for this.
thanks
