Exploration

Id would have problems to remember what is what.
Cant they just put a label on it?

i'm sure you could print it out...

even then these icons are too similar
i dont really like comparing every pixel

i picked up a Type 6 (because) and threw a business class cabin on it. First mission i took was for 700k+ cr and the planet the happy couple wanted me to take them to didn't exist within that suns orbit. So the second sun in the system (B) with the planet (6) and a moon (a) was the target body but didn't exist. went to 4 with no moons. It doesn't matter since Steam took their game back but i was curious why i couldn't see the orbit ring for the 5th and 6th planets and rightfully take them to their destination (and pick up some souvenir t-shirts) Should i have gone "up" (gee, spacial relatively is tuff) to see the second suns planets as if from a "top down" view (similar to System map) to find the planets i needed. I think it was 2 ranks higher than my current rank for the mission type. If i could remember the system name i could just look it up...

again, doesn't matter, steam took their game back after Humble Bundle refunded my money

ill just back into cockpit when I have a new PC (probably at the end of the year).
I just hope they finally get the interface less confusing and more user friendly. I mean it really wouldnt hurt if they Icons that are easier to identify... maybe even with labels or different color options.

I mean look at the "water world" and the "metal rich" icons. Those are almost the same.

i was playing with an Xbox controller and it worked pretty well for looking at different UIs in the cockpit. I wasn't overly confused by it and there are some shitty HUDs out there (SPG2 and EVE isn't the greatest for example imo). It felt pretty straightforward to me when i first jumped into that sidewinder.

However, i think the UI for the commodities market could be easier to identify what that particular station is selling instead of having to see whats in stock and whats not
