Title: Galactic Map Save?
Post by: nichaey on February 09, 2010, 07:29:34 PM
Whenever I see a picture of Steve's galactic map it's always so nice and neat. Is there some galactic map save function that I'm missing or does Steve just organize it every time?

There is!

In the drop menu on the galactic map screen, on the left side you'll see one that says save map position.

Prior to this, you will want to SHIFT-drag the systems to where you want.

There's also a snap-to-grid button (I think it's called "line up").

Anybody find the shift drag to be touchy?

I do.  Seems to improve with practise though.
