Passenger Galaxy displayed

Post by Pablem »

Cargo has the galaxy displayed which is a big help for the newer captains remembering that Feron is not in Sphere or that Soves is not in Furnace.

Passengers do not have that, and now that some of these locos are heading for the expanse it makes it a much greater hazard.

Would Union place a galaxy mark on the tickets? If columns are a problem it could be handled in the system column by adding a few characters.
Example
Descarte(Sp)
Zarante(TF)
Bolos(An)
Beud(VP)
Soves(Ex)
Zarinsk(Fu)

I always have the galaxy map open and handy, so it's easy to snoop out destinations....

Indeed, sorry Pabelm, whilst it would be nice the whole point of passengers is that you need to know where they are going or if you don't have to go look it up. Adding in the Galaxy makes it faaaar to easy :)

With great reward comes challenge :)

It doesn't bother me. I have all the systems memorized and only need a map if I need to remember whether Drid comes before Gulvieg on the Vesper spur. This was more to not discourage the under 40 captains. I wouldn't mind if there was a filter based on captain level for it.
