I've attached a screenshot edited to show what I mean as suggestion. I feel it annoying that I have to open the map every single time to select a planet/space station.
Can we have the surface tab directly in the game?

Thanks!

Are you aware that you can already do something similar with pins ? (Perhaps not similar enough..?)

While true, it doesn't expand like the Surfaces menu does, it has a rather restrictive cut-off, making this a bit less attractive as a solution, at least for me who would also like to have other pins, without scrolling.

Plus Pins currently has no way to reorder them, not even by name, unlike the Surfaces menu.

Another reason why we need a better UI. I setup a pin on my tank while I'm on Fulgora, I cannot remove that "!" icon even with tags off from map menu.
Is there a way to remove it completely?
