Title: Distance between two points
Post by: Bouchart on May 14, 2012, 05:47:38 PM

Is there an easy way to determine the distance between two points?  I have a jump gate near Neptune, and I want to build a PDC on one of the moons so I need to know what kind of range my missiles will need.   Thanks.

If I remember correctly you hold shift + click and drag on the system map it tells you the distance of the line you drew.

Yes, that works.   Thank you.

you can also display circles around a selected body for a variety of ranges via the waypoints tab on the system screen.
