The Map Screen provides two different modes. In Map mode, the player may examine a three-dimensional map of their currently located solar system. This map will provide information and location of all planetary bodies, artificial satellites, and bases, as well as known spacecraft, color coded by faction.

The Map Mode displays three-dimensional sector and system maps providing information on and locations of all planetary bodies, artificial satellites, bases, jump routes as well as known spacecraft, color coded by faction. Note that jump route lines between factions will display a half/half color from each faction whose systems the wormhole singularity links.

Buttons

  • Nav/Info = Toggle between Statistical and Map Mode.
  • Path = Used in the Sector Map, this function highlights the quickest flightpath between your source and destination systems. You have the option to display the flightpath superimposed onto the Sector Map, the flightpath only or Sector Map only. Note: you may select source and destinations in Statistical\Sectors, and display the results here.
  • Target Selected = You may select a destination system on the Sector Map and lock it in with this function key.
  • Up = Displays the Sector Map. You may zoom in or out and use the other navigation functions noted here.
  • Down = Displays the System Map. You may zoom in or out and use the other navigation functions noted here.
  • Axis Swap = Rotates the viewed map around its axis.
  • Viewpoints = Select viewpoint representations as two or three dimensional and orthogonal.
