Ability to hide the minimap

[Mabus]

This doesn't really have any practical application, but in space and on colonies I just feel it would be a nice addition if you could minimize the mini map - everything else is hide-able and it would be quite nice imo to be able to see a full screen's worth of a system or colony.

the only two places you need the minimap are in space and on planets.

this is a new one for me. never heard anyone say to remove it.

[Mabus]

Yes i agree they are the only places you need it I'm just suggesting maybe a minimize button in the corner of the map, so that when torping or flying for example you can have it out of the way and see what is behind it.

Sounds good to me. Maybe there could be a hotkey to hide your whole interface at once as well if you want to take an epic picture of your ship.

[Major.Arse]

maybe this is why im not the best torper...but i only use the minimap when invading and 1v1's.

my scroll wheel has been broken and ive been getting my arse handed to me lately. i did actually wish i could just hide it thinking back to 2 fights where it was useless to me, so i suppose ill concede there is a place for it.

off topic. how do i change the minimap size without my mousewheel (the baby had a go at sge and ate most of the computer equipment.)

Sometimes when I'm invading and shooting nukes to the bottom right side of my screen, I wish I could see what i'm shooting at, but then again I sort of use the minimap to 'see' since i can't.

/hide I believe... I know there is a command for it...

I believe pg up and down do it? though who could say. I havn't played in a long long time

torping using the minimap means you get 100% accuracy for 100% of the time unless you do it wrong.

you should only torp using your aiming abilities at close to point blank range, zoom out your ship so you can see where stuff is then shoot

Far as i have noticed, you can't zoom in and out on mini map w/o wheel..;(

[MegaMan]

holding down alt and pressing + or - will zoom the minimap in and out. This is how I usually do it because when I am flying, particularly in a fight etc I have both hands on the keyboard and don't want to move them all the way to the mouse.
