I have added a brand new map called the Local Map.

This map is especially useful to people still using Realspace to move around in the large galaxies. This will show all of the sectors within a certain number of turns. If you want to find all sectors you can realspace to in 5 turns select 5 turns. The map will display all sectors in that range. Want to find all sectors you can go to in 1000 turns select that and it will show them.

If you hover your mouse over a sector it will display information about the sector along with the number of turns it will take to travel to that sector.

What a great new feature.

Yes, I think it's a great feature too, especially the fact that it gives a better game-balance in the beginning (Trading-fase), by leveling out the different between hull and an power- "upgrading-benefit". This differense is big when the selling-price of energy is low (3c-4c).

Said in other words it is easy to use (almost to easy)

I think that since even with level 18 engines it takes more then 1 turn to go to many sectors it is a great way for one to find good real space trade routes.

I am however voting that it be moved to the top of the RS links and be called RS Scan. As thats pretty much what your doing.
