Display of stats on the starmap - Customization

[Sukender]

[Feature request] Hi, I was wondering if it could be nice having a customizable display of the starmpap. Here are my ideas (*):

Purple text

For now, starmap displays (purple) information about current, selected and hyperspace systems. I think the content of this purple text would be customizable by the user. For instance, user may choose to display (or not):

• Name
• Position
• 2/3 first major imports or exports
• Security level
• Number of star ports
• Population
• Number of potentially "mine-able" planetoids
• etc.

If I were a trader, I'd select the security, and major imports and major exports...

Colorizing systems

In the same theme, it would be pleasant to have the ability to highlight systems in star map, depending on a user-defined criteria:

• If product "xxx" is sold/bought (ex: red for major import, pink for minor import, white for neutral, yellow-green for minor import, green for major import)
• Distance (for hyperspace)
• Security (low-med-high)
• Population
• etc.

If I were a trader, I would alternate the display of bought goods with the major exports of my system. Ex: display where farm machinery is bought, then product XXX, then product YYY...

Other

The same idea may also be applied to:

• Tooltips in the starmap
• Every location name, everywhere in the game (see #128 about location links)
• more?

What do you think about it?

(*) May this require to open other feature request(s) to separate?

Related issue: #210. This feature request may be solved (well... kind of) with this improvement, I guess.
