Incosistency with planets order.

Hi,


This is by no way a main issue, at the point I didn't noticed until now, and not game-breaking, so put it in the end of your list, just in case you have time.

The issue is that the order of planets in galaxy view is the reverse of system view. Here two screenshots as example:




In galaxy view the planet order is colonized>inhospitable>colonizble>colonized, and in system view is the inverse: colonized>colonizable>inhospitable>colonized.

Start some games after noticing it, and seems it's always like this.


As said not game-changing, but IMO order should be the same. I know you're very busy, but can at least put this into your fixes list?

Sir, try hovering over the white and empty icons of the planets. It's exactly the same order.

What do you mean? The order on the galaxy map in that screenshot is colonized (filled blue)-uncolonizable (empty grey)-colonizable (filled white)-colonized (filled blue)..  The order on the system view is reversed. How does hovering over that change anything?

Oh my bad. Actually blind. Thought for some reason that Syrma III is inhospitable. And i even took some time to look closely before i posted anything. Sorry.

Indeed, tooltips and everything works fine, but @Dragar spot it quick. Hard to see, as wroet in first post I didn't even noticed, even if playing ES2 since the day it was released in EA...

The order is always the same, from the closest to the sun to the furthest. Everything else is a matter of perspective. In system view sun is to your right. And in galaxy view there is no right, as space is uniform in all directions. We are used to count from left to right, so in galaxy view labels first (closest to sun) planet is on the left.

Thanks; I wondered why the planets were in reverse order. It's because the star's position is also reversed. 


It would be nice if the entire solar system - including the star's imaginary position - were consistently represented.

I guess for artistic (it's prettier when planets are illuminated from right side) and ergonomic purposes (there is side panel on the left that would obstruct solar prominence visuals) star was placed on the opposite side in system view.
