I have looked at the new Starmap in beta and must say its a great pieces of work...
however 1 thing i did find a bit odd.
I could see what planets have shipyard, hubs, depots, ports, etc.
This is something thats a bit off IMO.
those should be secret untill discovered by scouts.
Now here is my idea.
a special item for the scout class.
Recon pods.
They work the same like a beacon BUT they transmit data on the planet that has been tagged.
the last for 30-60 mins but are hard to place because of the PD.
To say the least to be able to tag a shipyard planet the scout has to be extremely lucky or plainly insane to be able to tag it.
Now when tagged THAT planets info becomes available for your side.
this could also include population, defenses, Port, Infantry counts.
Hope this idea is usefull to ya DEVS

WEll actually enemy know about my system nearly MORE as me ... because they got more time to use browser while preparing invasion ...
whole intel thing is bit weird
How i can know what is in ENEMY or NEUTRAL system , if we dont have there ship or planet which will relay information to our faction intelligence HQ ?
this completely remove system scouting...
also with actual system it make no sense to implement into game e.g. special long range sensor platforms (to scan system) ...
i wish to see detailed informations to be seen only for fleet and generic to faction
for other faction system where they dont have presence should be Market UNKNOWN and ownership / values UNKNOWN ...
that way it will be perfect and fair ... and fun
