Dont zoom in when I hit 'm'

[brekehan]

Is there a way to tell the game to assume the zoom level where I left it last time I was in map mode? It zooms all the way in every time I hit 'm' and I have to zoom out again every time.

You somehow get used to it but it's indeed a very annoying behaviour.
The zoom-level should be saved when i close the map.
And if you have no selected target the focus of the map should also be saved.

I agree with this, it is incredibly annoying to have to furiously roll the scroll wheel every time you access the map. I can't believe it hasn't been addressed really. The map should always open at the zoom level you last closed it on. I think it should also open centered on wherever/whatever you were last looking at (or at least have the option for this) and have a hotkey to re-centre on player ship.

A typical use case for this map behaviour is conducting manual trades remotely - you want to track the freighter over time which means you want the map to stay at a convenient zoom level and you want it to open centered on freighter in question as you repeatedly check in on it on the map.

I would really love to see this change. I haven't gotten used to it.

There is a Mod actually adds options to change your zoom in level, etc. Focus on you always or default setup, target, etc.

He even has another mod adds some much needed key binds to things deployables, etc.

You can hit "," (the button directly to the right of "m") after you have opened the map, to zoom instantly out.
"." the button to the right of "," then zooms in again.
Not really sure how the buttons look like on an english keyboard though, so the layout might be a bit differently.
