weird overlays

[username-2]

What's with these weird overlays that show what goods are sold/bought at some place? They are totally blocking the map view, and I can never tell which place they are for:

I'm finding this map very difficult and inconvenient to use. Usually I can't even see where my ship is, and these overlays are blocking everything. Is it supposed to be like this?

At the top of your screenshot, just to the left of the Search bar, there are Trade/Mining/Other overlay icons. Click on them, and the overlays will disappear. They're not so useful at maximum zoom-out as you've got the map in that screenshot, but when the map is zoomed in and you're looking for trades/resources/etc., they're much more so.

Ah, thanks, that way I can finally see something on the map

This really takes some getting used to, and I'm having performance issues as well ...

If you're having performance issues, start a new thread and provide the information requested in the very first thread at the top of this forum.

Thanks, I'm still researching and experimenting with the settings to get better performance. It probably comes down to my CPUs simply not being fast enough, and I might end up swapping them for some with less cores but higher frequencies. They're cheap enough to do that and it'd be a fun experiment. It's ok atm, and I guess when the game progresses further, it might eventually become an issue.
