i'd like to know if it is possible to export already-explored system maps across characters.
You see, I have 2 pirate ships that I use for different purposes. I like exploring very much and all that, so my first ship has a quite complete map of Sirius, including bases descriptions, jump hole positions, available goods prices...
Now i don't want to spend that time exploring with the second ship. I don't also want to use FLCompanion, just need my large map to be available in-game (import it from the first ship to the second one). Is it possible? How? If not, do you think it would be good to have this in a future version?
well if you look the the ship sale toptics then you can see there are some good map screenshots.
so maybe this will work,
get in youre pirate with good map. open map and press prtsc on youre keyboard. close freelancer and go to any picture managment program, enlarge the picture as much as posible.
you still dont have data,s like trade locations and such but you will have a system map which you can aces with the ALT+Tab combo. hope this will get you a bit further. anyways good luck

Atleast I havent heard off it.
Actually I think it could be doable.
Save navmap as in FLhook.
and import it on a other char.
although I'm not that into FLhook stuff.
But since it's rather easy to make /restarts
I think adding a nav map from an other character should be doable.
However if this would be allowed it needs some heavy payment to get your navmap copied.

Mmm.. a simple screenshot is not really an option, since i can use FLcompanion or the wiki, which have more info. I think a map transfer function would be nice (i like the way it's done with a /restart), particularly to set waypoints to far destinations (which aren't on your starting map). However we'd have to pay the price. Don't know how much though.
Yep. But the character files are stored server-side, so there's no way for us players to have a look at them (luckily :)). I'd like to hear from the devs on this. WHat do you think?

That's not really a good thing. You might be able to put a copy of your character file together with a packet sniffer like Wireshark. Bit pointless though.
