player location and pobs on the map would be a killer feature
genuinely

clarify: in which form player location u view as good?

imagine if you could both right click the map, and ping for a mutual tea party

good question
you know how some games have player activity heatmaps as an alternative view?
imagine like this

for now my ideas for compatibility with Galaxy map look like a thing from space rangers 🙂

changing Label name (see captured "Grayed out systems with green/red numbers below)
writing number (potentially in different colors)
Potentially having System "Round" thing becoming animated and rotated
things like that as ideas for noticability

basically, a possible alternative view that'd show to the user relative activity in the system
because let's say if you open playerlist, and see 2 ppl in champagne, 2 ppl in languedoc, 2 ppl in IDF
it's still 6 ppl in gallia, but it's not as visible due to alphabetical sorting

now, what if there's a giant blue/green blob there - and you instantly know that it's active

hmm
feel free to experiment, we've had different map visualizations throughout the years
from simple flcompanion to error's map

Alternative mod view is find idea, but i wish to have it visible by default
i believe it should be possible to show in understandable way

by default is even better, but unfortunately I'm not really a designer so can't even imagine how that should look

Darkwind The Dark Duck — 11:44 PM
but the heat map "toggling" on yet another setting is good idea indeed
but also difficult for me challenge to do so
it is actually easier to do other approaches 🙂

I've never really worked with complex web UIs
so can't really say anything
wish you luck though, it's a monumental task

Dynamic Heatmaps for the Web
An easy to use, open source, data visualization library to help you create beautiful heatmaps for your projects. Get started in minutes!

Cool. Found heatmap lightweight lib ```js var heatmap = h337.create({ container: domElement });

heatmap.setData({
max: 5,
data: [{ x: 10, y: 15, value: 5}, ...]
});

Worthy a try
