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.

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
