Ship Compass ?
Has anyone else noticed that we no longer have N,S,E,W showing on our compass at the top of our ship windscreen when flying around. I used to find this handy especially flying over large areas of water...Maybe it is just in MY game. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Nope, I have noticed it too. Super annoying.

They dumbed down a lot of stuff. Apparently a compass is too difficult. Unless you compare your ship/tool, they do not provide the count of slots either. I have been adding all the little changes up, and looks like they really want to attract non-thinkers to the game based on the update.

It has been a fun run, but after 1800 hours I may put a fork in it. The game just got really stupid.

Yup, the compass was just basic, but very handy. I got used to it, so I miss him too.

Hopefully they have something more advanced in stock for us, that was maybe just not completely ready for the update... here goes to hoping ;)

Until then I try workarounds with beacons, indicated coordinates and the radar blip of my freighter for "direction" finding/maintaining...

The NEXT compass was bad, having only N and S on it. The BEYOND is even worse. Elite Dangerous skipped the magnetic compass altogether and uses a 360 degree "compass" instead which works fine. Why not implement that instead? And if I may suggest... why not make a kind of GPS system that works locally on the planet you are on currently. Send up a satellite drone, let it scan the planet and put coordinates to important points of interest. That would also allow the player to save coordinates for places he/she wants to revisit later on. Right now it´s a pain in the **** to navigate the planets.

We have planetary coordinates in one of the bottom left ship display... hope this can help.
