We use bookmarks now to get more strategic warp in points to celestials because that is what we have.

Well, IGÇÖve always thought it would be nice to have a coordinate system with the center of an object at 0 on the x, y, and z axii .
It would make it very easy to warp in just where you wanted.. place a drag bubble very quickly without work or effort, or have quickly warp to anyone on gridGǪ(if youGÇÖre clever and quick with that sort of thing)
GǪ but, warping to anyone on grid entirely changes many current combat dynamics
GǪ and easyGǪ too easy takes away from the game.. many things are made deliberately difficult (scanning certainly can be delegated to a crew member with only answers given without any of the pilotGÇÖs manipulation of probe orbs for instance.. but there is a goal to make it a game of skill)
Of course it sounds like youGÇÖve discussed all of those things and know them far better than I do .
I'd like to empahsize though that rewarding preparation and effort pilots make to gain an edge isnGÇÖt something that should be eliminated.
There are different types of tedious.
tediously manipulating a wonky user interface and draggign and droppin hundreds of objects is bad
tediously flying your space ship with though and precision to get the right tacticals is much different... still tedious but more logically so and promoting more ship flying which is good.
I suspect that one of the primary goals of the change is that some groups have figured out how to crack what is kept client side and share files over the internet immediately in an unlimited way GǪ. Maybe even cracked the internal reference system to be able to create a bookmark by entering the desired coordinates into a third party program and having the data file amended live (and shot to cohorts?)
That youGÇÖre taking action is greatGǪ if thatGÇÖs the reasonGǪ. donGÇÖt get me wrongGǪ Personally IGÇÖd rather hear that reason of prevention of exploits than scratching my head wondering if the GÇ£giftGÇ¥ of the improvement really hides a nerf of some aspects of what we already have.
But again, I donGÇÖt know if there is such an exploit.. but ImGÇÖ curious.
