It get sometimes frustrating (and can break immersion) by wanting to know what planet links where and not be able to do so in the game.
While I appreciate the work everyone has done to release their version of the Boundless Universe map, I think it is time that IN GAME we actually have a simple map showing the planets and how they link up.
A simple map showing each region and the how the planets connect would be a HUGE QOL in my view.
A map would be a cool idea… I just wonder at how difficult it would be as the game grows and we have 100 or 1000 planets.
I guess it could be restricted to show the closest planets within 1-2 links of the world you are on, so as not to be overwhelming.
Could they make it a different button menu or usable device that pops you into a “galaxy” view from “recorded archives”. I’m sure a space faring race would have the capabilities to see planets in a 3d space or at least top down map of relativity.
I think it would make it easy to add a planet if it pops up permanently
take in mind that planets are moving around. So its hard to justify and create a map that makes sense and has the right blinksec calculations xD
i thinkw emade an actual boundless universe before 1.0 but cant find it
For me I see it as a simple org chart type design. Something that could scale with the Universe and is text not graphic based.
On a more advanced case I could see you select a planet (it gives the region it is in and tier) and then you can select another planet to get the blink sec…
Overall I just sit there sometimes saying I need to go to Y planet and I have no idea WHERE it is in the universe… west/east, t2/t5, or what planet even helps get me there.
If we keep it in a simple text format - almost like the Knowledge base - it shouldn’t be too hard to deliver but give tons of value to everyone.
