    When mining, I will often be searching for a specific resource (like say Fertikeen). When in the middle of an asteroid field, I'll look at my nav menu and find the fertikeen asteroids, and then head for the largest one for the most efficient harvesting.

    Thing is, sometimes a sector has multiple smaller asteroids that add up to more than the one big one, but I can't tell from the nav menu if they are in the same sector, or if they are almost exactly the same distance away from me on opposite sides (aka, one is 2km to the left, one is 2.1km to the right, they would both show up as being basically the same distance away).

    Could we get an option to group objects in the nav menu based on what sector they are in?

    Really the nav menu should have an attached sector diagram sort of thing. So, a top-down or (preferably) 3-d image of the sector, with nav IDs of some sort (Attached to entities in the nav menu, like "S Chariot" marking a ship called the Chariot, and "A F/B 154k Mass" for an asteroid made of fertikeen and bastyn, 154k mass (Obviously). The shortened designations are just to avoid clutter in highly populated sectors. Obviously, this extra map/visual of the sector would be toggleable in the nav menu.

    I was thinking that to. I often want to know what's where inside the sector and this is the simplest way to go. This came up in another thread somewhere.
