Request: Add a hotkey to center the map on the player ship - Explained.

Post by NiAypa » Sun, 22. Jan 23, 13:10

Hi,

ever since the map saves the last location you were in, I have been missing seeing my surroundings when I open the map if I have previously done some empire management or something. It can be a little bit annoying having to scroll out, look for your current sector, and scroll back in again, or looking for my ship in the property tab...

I think adding a hotkey to just go back to your ship on the map would be great and it hopefully would not be too much effort.

Looking forward to 6.0 and Kingdom End :)

In addition to pressing "R", you can double click on your ship name, (or any other ship name) in the object menu or property menu to do the same thing.

You can also recenter the map by pressing the period key too ".>"
