I love flying around in Horus System but I'm lost with what and where things are at. Will our ships have something like the ARK Starmap built in so I can at least know where I stand in the system?asked by Maxx Overseer

TL;DRChris Roberts says ships will have a Nav Map and the mobiGlas Skyline app for locating yourself and sharing positions, planned as part of expanding the star system and still in development.

So I'm assuming that you mean the Stanton system which is sort of where Crusader is based and we just really have the area around Crusader although we are planning on expanding it in the near future to have the whole star system in. So that will be a whole bunch more. That will come with the debut of procedural planets and a few other things, so that's something to look forward to. But generally you'll have Skyline which is an app on your mobiGlas which will be your personal sort of Star Map so not too dissimilar to what you can do on the web.And then we'll have a more in depth Nav Map that ships will have. Especially the bigger ships that have charting and stuff like that. So like the Carrack will have sort of a big Holo Table with a Star Map that you can manipulate and look around. The ships with the more sophisticated Nav Computers will allow you to do more planning, sharing Nav Points and charting things with your friends as you just generally explore stuff. So yes you will have all that. That's actually one of the key features when we expand out Stanton system to allow you to adventure out. So it's actually in work, it's in development. It's a fair amount of engineering, and we've got a bunch of earlier UI/UX that has to debut first but it definitely will be there. So you won't get lost, and also will be able to message your friends or give out your location and stuff like that.
