Hi there, i am not sure this is a bug or a feature request so I post it here. (Couldn't find a duplicate either.)

The behavior of "hidden = true" is different across space connections and space locations / planets.

Current behavior (2.1.9)
- A planet or space-location declared with hidden = true is not displayed in the space map View
- A space-location declared with hidden = true is displayed in the space map View
So if i want to have a planet / space-location to be hidden in a mod, its space connection shows it exists and i can't really hide the space location fully (on top of that, hovering the space connection shows the name of the space connection).

Here is an example i'm working on :

: Both the space connection and the space location are declared as hidden; 07-06-2026, 17-22-18.png (71.91 KiB) Viewed 97 times

: The name of the hidden space location is shown when hovering the space connection; 07-06-2026, 17-22-29.png (87.26 KiB) Viewed 97 times

: Space location declaration; 07-06-2026, 17-22-45.png (27.93 KiB) Viewed 97 times

: Space connection declaration; 07-06-2026, 17-24-41.png (16.13 KiB) Viewed 97 times

Desired behavior
If a space-connection is declared "hidden = true", then it is hidden the same way a space location is.
