Coop support with map grid

If you play in Multiplayer you often need to tell your partners where they have to go. Mostly if you need help but also if there's a nice planet for them, an enemy fleet is on the way, etc.

If you play on big maps with 50+ planets this becomes quickly really annoying, because it's not that easy to tell other people where something is. Especially when everyone can rotate the galaxy view in any direction (then there is no up/down, left/right) and there is no search function for planets.

But if you added an optional background grid, like on world maps, with latitude and longitude, this would be much easier.
And, best of all: This should be very easy to code, right?

Could you add that, please?!

Hello,

I appreciate the suggestion, it may be worth sharing in the Discord suggestion channel where people vote on ideas to show interest to developers. May I ask if the ping system has proven ineffective?

Sorry, we didn't know the ping feature. Although we played the tutorial? But that was long ago. Or isn't it part of any tutorial?

I will keep that in mind and try it in our next game.

Thanks.
