The Galactic Map provides the means of navigating between Star Systems. The System in which you currently reside is located in the centre of the screen and the blue circle represents the scanning range. Stars which lie within this scanning range are marked with a stalk between the plane of the scanner and the star itself in order to convey an impression of its location relative to the current position. As the mouse pointer is moved across the screen a description of the Star that it hovers over will appear.
It is possible to change the view position by use of the keyboard arrow keys or by holding down the middle mouse button
Left clicking on a star will select it and a second blue scanner circle will appear that is centred on that position. At the same time the 'Selected System' window will appear which provides details of the System. |
