You can use the system map to view known stellar bodies in a star system. It comprises of a two dimensional view of the system, displaying stellar bodies linked by their orbits. In the centre of the view is a square selector
MOVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM MAP
Using keyboard and mouse, UI PANEL DOWN, UI PANEL UP, UI PANEL LEFT and UI PANEL RIGHT move the view around, while GALAXY CAM ZOOM IN and GALAXY CAM ZOOM OUT zoom the view in and out.
Alternatively, hold both left and right mouse buttons then move the mouse to manipulate the view and zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
Finally, you can simply left click on a stellar body or structure to snap the square selector’s focus to it.
When using a gamepad, use GALAXY CAM TRANSLATE AXIS to move the view around and use LEFT and RIGHT TRIGGER to zoom in and out.
Note that the square selector is sticky as it approaches stellar bodies and man-mad structures, snapping to focus on them.
SYSTEM MAP BANNER PANEL
To the left of the screen is a Banner Panel that displays information about the current entity the square selector is focused on.
When nothing is the focus of the square selector the banner panel displays information about the system as a whole. This includes a brief description of the system and details of the factions that are present within it.
Focusing the square selector on a stellar body offers information about its composition.
Focusing the square selector on a man-made structure details the faction that currently controls it, trade data and prohibited commodities (if known) and orbit data. If you have one or more ships stored at a starport or outpost, it will be indicated by a ship icon here.
If you have purchased exploration data about a system, it will be displayed here as stellar bodies that were previously unknown to you
