scrollable map screen ??

[Cursed Ghost]

Hi all

Don’t know if anyone ever thought to try this or if it's even possible but I was wondering if there is any way to make the map screen scrollable? because at the moment if you want to see stuff that’s off screen you need to zoom but having the ability to both scroll and zoom the map screen would make for a better user experience. Some how I suspect this is not possible, well not without access to the source code anyway because if it was I'm sure someone would have already written a mod for it, but it doesn't hurt to ask I guess.

To be honest I'm surprised Ego never though to implement this because its not like it's hard to do.

What do you exactly mean with scrollable?
Click+drag with your left mouse button allows you to "pan" along the map without needing to zoom out and in to get to nearby locations.

Which game is this about? In the X3 games (possibly earlier games, too), you can already scroll the map by using the numpad keys. Additional, having an object selected and pressing "Pos 1" that very object is centred on the map.
