Regarding star maps: Will organizations be able to apply their own markers & notations on the star map so that all selected members of the organization can share information such as resources, nodes held by allies/enemies, troop movements, etc.?asked by Gharskull
TL;DRPlayers can map undiscovered locations like asteroid fields, add their own notes, and share them with their organization or sell them to cartography companies, though org-wide shared markers aren't described as a dedicated feature.
Yeah, one of the ideas with your navigation map is, as you fly around...Most navigation have the basic trade routes or locations noted down. Like the main planet in the system or whatever.But there's a lot of the system that will not be mapped in your basic navigation map, and if you fly around, this is one of the things that explorers can do. If you fly around in different areas, you may find an asteroid field which isn't on the navigation map or something else, then you essentially map that on your map and you have it as your localized navigation point/coordinate/area of interest and you can write your own notes about it, then share it with members of your organization. So if you discovered an asteroid field that has some rich minerals to mine, and no one else has seen it, you can broadcast that to everyone else in your organization and say "hey let's go here and do this mining," and everyone else won't know about it.Now of course you would be able to sell some of that to a general cartographer company. Think of the navigation computers as a modern day GPS, you get an updated the disk of locations to drive in. So another option is explorers could go around mapping stuff out, then when they've mapped out the system fully, they can go and sell that and that could become available for purchase for a large group of people in the same way that we talked about for jump points.That's all things you can do, so you should be able to share map information between the members of your organization.
