One feature I would really appreciate is if the galactic map showed whether you had used a map ROM (system or military) in a system.

Having "Map ROM" or "Mil ROM" next to the system name once you had used one would be very helpful (because I can never remember where I've used one unless I make a note somewhere). Or something like that.

I believe that there are situations in which using a single system map ROM won't actually map every station in a system. This could make it even more misleading.

@arkheias is right, stations are not guaranteed to be discovered via map ROM.

  • But remembering whether we used it or not could still be useful.
  • We should make sure map ROMs are deterministic. I.e., whether they find a station is not due to randomness. Thus it should always be useless to run a map ROM twice.

An alternative solution would be to display a message like "Map Complete" next to systems in which all labeled objects are known.
