telescope's Issues

Limit height of SystemInfo-Layer dynamically by vh

To make the design more responsive, this is needed

Normalize Panning-Speed at all zoom-levels on StarMap

Currently, the panning on some zoom-levels feels a little bit off and like a linear progression between the zoom levels (each zoom-in/out should feel like the same change in panning-speed)
Current theory is that the breaking-point at zoom-level 0 is causing the issue

Fill with actual data

Currently, only test data is used for the map. It would be great to have a set of staring data, which can be used as a foundation for the universe + be expanded upon later on

Enable Zoom on SystemMap

To properly see and select small objects like space stations, it is mandatory to be able to zoom in on the SystemMap aswell
Panning should be left disabled for now since it isnt as important

Extend SystemInfo with info about the star

Some attributes of the star + a preview would be nice for the SystemInfo Layer

Make StarMap full-width + height

To maximize usable space in the StarMap, the margins around it are counter-productive and should be removed.

Explore planet styling

Currently, the planets are white and boring. It would be great to make them look prettier. To achieve that, multiple paths should be explored (color + effects, Image, etc.)

Implement card view for components of SystemInfo

For a better UX, a card view for the different Components of the SystemInfo-Layer is needed.
Inspiration: https://material-ui.com/components/cards/

Implement PlanetInfo Layer

Analog to the SystemInfo-Layer on the StarMap, a PlanetInfo-Layer is required for the SystemMap

Display Gates on the SystemMap

The Gates are currently only visible on the StarMap - however, they need to be somewhere in the System aswell

Make planetsize + starsize dynamic by smaller dimension (width/height)

... otherwise, this leads to wrong positioning of elements in the system view

De-Register Event-Listener + setInterval-Blocks on StarMap/ SystemMap destroy

To Prevent a memory leak from happening on heavy navigation between different routes, the starmap & systemmap need to unregister their eventlisteners + intervals.

Implement Faction-View

To make certain pieces of information, which are faction-based, visible, it would be easiest to introduce a new View, which lets the user see the universe "through the eyes of that faction". In this view, all of the specific things, like reputation, diplomatic aggreements, trade specifics etc. could be easily displayed.

Add support for Moons & Space Stations

Planets can have multiple moons, which would hover the planet.
Also, a way is needed to display space stations on the SystemMap (orbiting around the planet maybe?)

Add StarInfo-Layer on SystemMap

Analog to the PlanetInfo, it would be great to have a detail layer for all pieces of information about the star in a system
