Currently, navigating and finding your way around the planets is "difficult". What is the status of allowing players to set waypoints while on foot?

TL;DRNothing is planned for on-foot waypoints right now; the UI team still needs to finish the FPS map and various passes, and a beacon feature would need more discussion.

We don't have anything planned right now. Right now from a UI standpoint, there's a fair amount of things that need a second treatment. So the only thing that's missing now that is a fairly major feature from the UI standpoint is the FPS map. And so I think once we get that in and working the way that we want it to work, then they'll be going through and doing passes on the FPS as well as the ships and then the star map and then a few other things that we need to go through and do passes on. As far as dropping a beacon or dropping something for navigating around, I would have to sit down and talk with the guys and just say, okay, how useful would this be? What are things besides just saying, okay, you are here, this is where you want to go in the star map? That to me is the part that I think we need to talk about a little bit more.

Partnership opportunity, hear me out: Google Maps, just on the planets.

Trust me, it is a reference. When we talk about zooming in and when it transfers between street view and basically just the overall map, these are things that we are referencing. But again, it's time and it's focus.
