Feature request - fast start (map)

[Zaemar2017]

I've played over 600 hours in the game and, besides having some advanced saved games, I seem to spend a lot of time on new starts as well. Would it not be possible to have the option to import a map from a previous game on a fresh start? I like starting new games, but having to fly around every time rediscovering absolutely everything gets more than a little tiresome.

It would also give the option to play the game differently on a layout that you already have, because the station types and layout are not always the same on every game.

You could make explorers do it for you. That is, if they actually explored and put stuff on the map.

Why not start a new game, then only run around filling in the map. Save that as your fresh start game. Then you have the full map on your new start !

New patch and the old save is useless...

buy sector maps
10k per sector
reputation = 10

Strongly agreed--we really need a way to have unlocked starts that don't require re-doing so much every time. I think previous games had something similar.

And when DLC's finally drop it's only going to get worse!

If you have played the game to the point of discovering all sectors, so you know what is what and where you want to be, get to. ect. Whats the problem. The highways zip you round in a blink of an eye. You can remap in a matter of minuets. It’s not like the days of old, when remapping took weeks. Now You can do it in one session.

It’s way too easy, I don't understand your problem. Or are you one of the young ones who want everything at once, immediately, now. Rush rush.

Relax chill, take a nap. Do it tomorrow. What the panic?

Claiming it can be done in minutes is complete and utter BS. It takes hours to travel the map and scan everything and see my second point. It would be nice to be able to approach an existing map in a different way.

I don't have a problem. I'm just making a request, which is not addressed to you, and FYI I'm actually 59 and been gaming since the days of the VIC-20. Why don't you take a hike and stop being a complete knob?

X3 had way more sectors and thanks to slower ships and gate distances up to over 150km you had to fly much more to explore the whole map.
In X4 you can explore a big part of the much smaller amount of sectors by just flying in through the highway ring once and leave it once you arrive in the starting sector again.
Even in the sectors not connected to the highway ring you won't have a problem because there are ships that fly around 8000+ m/s.
Once you have your first 200k-300k you can even buy a second ship that'll just explore sectors for you.

So I really don't know why you want a pre explored universe when exploration is one of the features of the X series.
