Doh!
I have been playing this game since August and at times found it necessary to count the number of sectors from one spot to another in a system.
A week ago, I thought "Why doesn't Aaron have a display which will give the range from a selected spot? Like it should be easy thing to program into the game."
Well he does!
If you select an object, sliding the mouse about will give the new co-ordinates of the mouse and the range from the object in very small numbers in the bottom left hand corner. Not selecting an object will understandably just give the co-ordinates.
Most, if not all of you guys probably knew this.
Yeh, I know I was slow off the mark on this one.
