Is it possible to change the EV:Nn map?

I havent been playing for very long, but a few things occured to me

1. Can be very hard to find planets, as the Find function only locates solar systems. Could this be changed so that planets are also Found?

2. Hypergates - could the hyper network be shown on the map? Maybe click on a system with a hypergate in it and the links are shown?

I have no idea if these are possible, and absolutely no idea how to create a plug.

I am intrested if it is possible however.

Making find find spobs and making the hypergate show on the main map would both require engine changes, and as such, are not going to happen. Sadly... The hypergate map would be handy.

(1) No.
(2) No.

Sorry, but both of those would require a change to the game engine itself. The game engine cannot be modified with plugins, so unfortunately it ain't gonna happen, my friend.

Surely you could take pictures from each hypergate entry, and combine them into a file with photoshop to make a separate, out of game hypergate map? It'd be handy...

Heh, I suppose you could even use SnapzPro™.

That's a good idea actually, though you may want to have them at 50% opacity, so you can still see which hypergate you're at and which link you've selected...

So, in other words, the answers are:

1. Not a chance, buddy. Wait for the next game (if there is one).
2. Sort of.

The hypergate routes would be done with a nëbu resource (with corresponding PICTs, of course), right? Hopefully, there's no size limit that isn't documented but still causes Nova to choke...
