There are two very important functions of your ships systems that you will not be able to get 
too far without. These are the Sector map and the Universe map accessed by the comma [ , ] 
and full stop [ . ] (period) keys respectively or the Quick Menu by selecting [ Navigation ]. The 
displays are overlaid onto your main view and you are advised to keep your eyes focused on 
your trajectory. Some pilots find it beneficial to stop their engines while accessing the 
navigation aids or indeed they do this from the comfort and security of docking clamps at a 
larger ship or station, so avoiding collisions while otherwise distracted. 

 

The sector map is divided into two main sections. The left part is the real time “top down” view 
of the sector and is always orientated in the same direction. I.e. The North is top and the 
South is bottom.  
 
Navigation and travelling across big sectors 

 
The Universe is big, and can be very big in some sectors. To give scale to the size of some of 
these, the above pictures show the scanning range of a Triplex scanner in two different sized 
sectors. The screen on the left has two ships in an unknown sector, the left one has no 
scanner and the right one has a Triplex scanner. The picture on the right is the same ship, 
with the same Triplex scanner in Argon Prime. You can get Duplex scanners from most of the 
races but you will have to have a good reputation with the Boron or Paranid to get Triplex 
scanners.
