[BUG] Exobio sites list can get too long, leaves bearing indicator unusable #164

What is your commander name Sync D'Churro

What version are you running Odyssey 4.0 (Live) EDMC 5.8.1 EDMC-Canonn 7.0.0 Win 10

Describe the bug When using the per-planet exobiology sites list, if there are several forms with over 50-80 locations listed the list becomes absurdly long- can cause issues for those using low-resolution screens, especially with "Billionaire's Boulevard" planets (120+ locations listed per bioform in this case from all the CMDRs listing similar data) and leaves the bearing indicator/portions of the list, and any readout below unreadable.

To Reproduce Go to any planet listed in a "Billionaire's Boulevard" exobio route [ie HIP 84676, planet 5 b] in-game, then from EDMC-Canonn select the planet-specific exobio list for said planet

Expected behavior The list may or may not lag out/slowly render (depending on hardware- mine took ~20 sec to load for example screenshot) but when loaded, the lower half of the exobio list, bearing indicator, and update button/info readout below are obscured/unusable

Screenshots [screenshot taken on 2560 x 1440 screen, EDMC set to 90% zoom; in-game menu for scale]

Additional context If possible, being able to resize the window, or limiting the # of locations listed per item may resolve the issue- I wasn't able to resize the window to adjust for that it seemed though, since it self-adjusts for the list size

Wow that is impressive. I'll see what can be done

Ive updated the server side code to bring back 5 poi locations sorted by maximum distance from the others.

This should ensure a good spread. Its a bit of a compromise because it does mean that you are unlikely to see other locations that are near you. But making a change in the plugin itself would have been far too much effort.
