A lot of information on it would be useful too!
What kind of information would you want on it? Top 5 things? |

When you compare EVE's starmap to something like Dotlan which is really useful though? Personally I don't ever (now that auto pilot settings can be accessed in space) open the EVE starmap. I just have Dotlan open on another screen.
Agreed though, any kind of new starmap will need to be functionally useful while maintaining being pretty. This is a game and our artists do like to make pretty things after all. :) |

- This lets me not just read news- I can see WHERE news items, chronicles, etc. are happening. This gives me a larger context for them. By enabling not just CCP and ISD, but also my Alliance and Corp to post news items with geotagging, the starmap news becomes even more relevant to my experience.
Ooooo I like this idea. Some really cool things could be done with this. Pass this on to others. :D |

This is a game and our artists do like to make pretty things after all. :) The problem is that DUST doesn't give you the option to alt-tab onto you browser. Some of us have our computers in easy reach from the console, but some don't.
I agree entirely, which is why any kind of new map really has to offer usability and function as a priority. |

Derp. I fixed that, was supposed to say I will pass it on, which I have done so. |

Hopefully something awesome but you are right, our third party developers seem to have more time to develop things than we do. O_O
That being said I don't think we should focus on worrying about that. We should be offering a basic level of service in our game that meets the needs of the average player and is of high production quality. |

On the MOTD point, would you prefer they be the same or different? |
