Ha. posting with blind eyes. There's been a minimap there the entire time. Though not in the normal position. Perhaps you could move things around on the interface? Or give the player the option to. that would also be nice.
I'd really like to see a minimap of complexes as you explore. Despite the energy thing being kind of a obstacle for me personally, I like to play until I drop, not until the game says I've dropped. Not much else I can see that hasn't already been suggested. Good luck to you, hope you succeed and maybe put out a game that's worth buying in the future.
