I started playing this game just recently, and one of my biggest complaints is that I can never view a map while I'm deployed. I really wish I had the ability to pull up a map, look around, and have the "your are here" arrow pictured. Alright, I understand some people are opposed to having a map you can access while you are NOT in orbit (I.E. while patrolling Venus). Some people fell that it takes away from the "discovery" of the game. What if they made a map that you could access during patrols/missions that required you to first discovery locations before you could view them? This would actually ENCOURAGE exploration! :)
