With the Rhea release we will see an interesting (experimental) new star map.
The main features of this new opt-in starmap are
- Seamless zoom from universe scale down to solar system scale
- Display in a window that can be resized, moved around and docked at the sides of the screen
- Grouping of stars in constellations and regions
- Performance improvements
- Continued development beyond Rhea
- To use this new map after Rhea, you first need to active this feature in the ESC menu under General settings.
Discover more details and pictures about this new star map in CCP Rise' latest dev blog Starmap Improvements - A Map To Treasure.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions on which features you would like to see next in the new star map!

EDIT: Will this be on Sisi before the release? Double edit; The lack of probes (and presumably d-scan integration) in the new solar map initially makes it useless, but I'll still throw feedback in on the rest on release.

I assume that it still runs inside the same window (as far as the Windows window manager is concerned) as Eve? So for it to run on a second monitor I need to stretch the Eve window over 2 monitors? Or is it a separate window?

Finally!
I've been in the hype train for the new starmap for AGES (actually, two weeks).
Glad to see the deblog, looks amazing!

Yes, same window as eve, you would need to stretch the eve window to two monitors.

So the search doesn't work, how about auto linking to 'Show Info' then 'Show on Map'? |

I'm a bit underwhelmed :/
But the "strategy and information" mode sounds exactly like the thing I was hoping for in the first place. Thanks for updating it.

How cool is a game, a dev, and a dev team who acknowledge the stellar (pun intended) excellence level reached by one of their most acclaimed gamers (Wollari, that'd be you)?
Even cooler if they set the goal of emulating the success and functionality of dotlan evemaps!

Have to check it out... later
I see Overview and HUD in this screenshot: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66726/1/2.png Am I now able to undock, look around and overlay the map to identify the stars I see without setting random autopilot routes to have "lines in space"?
Will we finally be able to see at least TWO different things at the same time? Like: Secstatus PLUS pilots in space or Secstatus PLUS kills last hour or station service PLUS system cost index?
It's been a pita to identify systems with low system cost index and have to switch the map to station service to see if there is a station with manufacturing (damn, what system did I look at???)... or to find the least active lowsec entry system (switching between kills last hour, pilots in space, pilots docked, secstatus and back). Never understood why the secstatus colour would be removed while looking at jumps last 24h and so on...

Are you guys removing the F11 key side screen panel (i rarely used it anyway) then and replacing it with the floating new map as F11 key shortcut? |

YAY!: - Whoever designed the UI on the map needs a promotion to the head of the UI redesign team to show how it is done. - Not sure if you can improve on perfection, some system names are a bit dim even when they are "next door".
Boooo: - Scanning uses the old map still. |

Yes, eventually we hope to remove it since the new map should better cover the same functions.

Awesome! Glad to see improvements coming to the star map!
It does really need a search function: here's a scenario I encounter several times a month
I'm in unfamiliar space following the incursions. I want more faction modules for my ship. I look for a loyalty point store.... and there's no easy way to look up "closest Minmatar LP store" or caldari, etc.
It would be cool to have a "search for station owned by -____ NPC corp-" for example: "station owned by -Caldari Steel-" and you get a list of Caldari Steel stations, maybe a lost organized by number of jumps.
Anyway, that would be something cool to see in the next few updates
Keep up the good work!

It's wonderful!
I like the 'Group stars by region' option - It simplifies the star map and allows me to focus only on the current region I'm in.
Since I only use 1 monitor to play eve, I prefer the floating window option. The other options are a nice addition though.
The ambient track playing softly in the background is a nice touch, but I wish it was not so repetitious.

Now I want to go back to dual monitors..... Gave it up for a 30 inch monster.
Go on.. Snicker.
Great changes. Question though, does this integrate into anything wormhole life like? I know it's an odd question being that wormholes don't show up on the map, just curious if there would be any functionality improvements.
Yaay!!!!

Why maintain a 3D map view in addition to a "DOTLAN-esque" flattened 2D view? Is there a use case, that profits from the 3D view?
Well besides the obvious show off feature: "look, this is the whole EVE galaxy, doesn't it look awesome"... |

The new map looks great!
I have one thing to say on the subject of it not being like Dotlan enough:
I think what makes Dotlan amazing is not only the 2D mapping which makes is super easy to read and efficient to plan routes but also the fact that it's an out-of-game tool that can be run on a second monitor.
Living in a wormhole and doing exploration, you already have so much windows opened permanently (Chat, D-scan, Probe scan, overview) that adding the map on top of that is cluttering and tedious.
Did you guys ever consider making your own browser tools? |

Well... Jumprange is a sphere which is best shown in 3D. Sometimes systems look like neighbours but aren't (because z-axis). Works on 2D map, too, yes, but 3D would be a nice to have.
Or take the new bright star "Caroline's Star", to locate it's origin you need a 3D view. Yes, again not a game breaker, but immersion is really nice.
