Captain's Log or Favorite's Tab

[XB-7]

I'm finding myself having to jot down coordinates to track planet resources, shops or sectors to avoid. It might be cool to have a tab where we can quickly save a short note to the current coordinate we're in that looked similar to the Navigation tab. Then when we select the coordinate from the note list, it would be set as a waypoint.

Logbooks. So many people forget they exist, but they\'re so useful for this function.

Just find some logbooks from a pirate station or whatever and use them for this kind of thing.

Is that a real thing? :O

 

[XB-7]

That\'s news to me too. I guess I\'ll have to have a better look at that store.

 

[NeonSturm]

These things only store 140 characters and take 1 full inventar slot :/

Would be more usefull if you could set a waypoint by just clicking a line \"[email protected]\".



Even an old diskette stores 1\'000 times as much and can easily be shared with faction members.

Take paper and a pin and you get the same functionality.

No kidding. I\'ve got it on my Android. Don\'t know what it is called though, search \"Starmade\" in the store and you should find it.

 

[Lecic]

You get them from pirate stations and loot clouds.

 

[Lecic]

they have 250 characters. You could fit 10 or 20 locations on them.

Also, a logbook can easily be shared as well.

 

[NeonSturm]

Maybe 250.

Gates
-2+3-1|-40+9-100

That may be the info for a Wormhole/Gate between these two coordinates.

It has 5 chars, 1 per new line, 6+1+9 for the gate - you have maybe 10 coordinate-pairs for 1 inventar slot.


Shops +2+2+2 +2+1+2 +1+0-5 +1+0+4 2+2+1

Docks +2+2+2 +1+0+0 -1+0+0 +0+0+1 +0+0-1

Duell +4+4+4 +10+10+10

Spawn +2+2+2


This is the-pirate-alliance spawn info (with a few characters less and + instead of dots) - only locations, not rules - 133 characters incl. newlines. but you will need a second and third for the rules.

Any clan info of bigger clans (ship+description, ownership, inventar listings, etc) will much likely have the same if not a greater length of information.



This is not ok if you have only very limited ammount of logbooks and a small ship which can get killed at any time.

Only if you fly in a Titan with all your stuff in it all the time and are the first one to discover pirate sectors (pirate stations only spawn in unvisited sectors I guess).
