Add ability to place map markers in unrevealed territory

Post by Ripshaft »

Suggestion:
Expand the new (and awesome) feature of being able to place markers on the map to allow for placing markers in the unrevealed sectors (black squares)

Reasoning:
I want to place markers in unrevealed territory where I'll place a solar radar outpost to scan the surrounding area, though I think it'd be useful for any exploratory practice. i'd like it and I expect other people would too.


Also on a side note, would love to see exploration gameplay elements... but that's another post =p

Map markers are tied to the revealed territory image so it's technically not possible with the current implementation.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Yeah I suspected this to be the case =/ Thanks for putting a pin in that nicely.

Didn't reply earlier since I didn't like the idea of bumping my own thread but I came to the conclusion (as this has been a recurring theme) that any legitimate reply falls within the intended use of the forum so coming back to the ones I left behind =p
