Breathtaking.
But it seems to give an overview over the whole system and even shows objects (at least planets) you haven't visited before. Does it also show all players in the system? What about wrecks?

Yeah. this is a good question. And what about showing paths and zones, asteroid fields? Is it possible to do the same through navmap??

hah, that sounds like a 3d map viewer request here was some time ago. honestly, as i see what you FW gents are doing to the engine im starting to doubt there is anything worthy of implementation that would be entirely impossible.

Technically seens this is quite a masterpiece of work - respect! I like the scrolling and with that zooming in and out (reminds me on my old times for opengl implementations
![]() But for freelancer - the game itself - i think it doesnt really fit. Its looking like a different game. Nevertheless nice work!

I'd disagree. For huge capital ships, that control the battlefield, and for commander of large fleets, with more than 40+ players to control, this tactical overview mode will probably be a huge asset for large scale tactical engagements. Furthermore, the mod team has planned to control NPC capital ships and small NPC squadrons, which would make this tactical view even more critical. As for it looking like a different game, well, that's what modding is all about ![]()

Battlestar Galactica would again be different, as capships are rare in a battle and nearly never interacting with fighters, which, are making the most action on the battlefield.

I am sure it will be fabulous. I am just not the kind of player who acts very tactical - hence my misunderstanding of that part. The NPC things is indeed something i could like
![]() Anyway would you see everything on this overview even if you havent yet found it? Or is it based on the nav map - so you usually see things first if you found them. Its probably something that would spoil the FL universe tho. Nevermind i do respect the technical part that you guys have put in there! Is there further details - i am just curious how you can control the fl engine this way.

It'd follow the same restrictions as normal FL. If you haven't explored it, you can't see it.
