Seriously, STILL no decent quality maps?

Why not?

Can someone tell me why they're pixelated still, please?


PROTIP: A map is a visual, often 2-dimensional, representation of a space — e.g. as a navigational aid.
I'm not talking about game levels.

    Judging by your profile picture, I'm not sure I want to answer that.

    No, it's a serious question.
    I've been asking this since beta...

    Oh, surprise surprise, the bug is STILL there where they haven't got the clipping correct for the minimap...

    Never seen that. might not be a common bug, could have to do with your graphics card or resolution.

    hmmm

    The minimap clipping bug happens when your UI scaling ratio is set below 1.00

    i am at .85 and i still don't get that bug. is it only at certain ratios or does it need to be even lower than that? i guess it is possible i simply missed it, but i use my minimap fairly often.

    I'm at 0.85 too.. What I see is that the map markers don't scale with that numerical setting. They don't move when the interface setting changes, and when I move away from them, they'll exit the minimap's box (out of the bottom and right sides only) before disappearing completely.

    If it helps I have an ATI 5870 vid card.

    I've got a gtx 260 core 216. Graphics settings are at max, resolution is 1080p and I've tried different UI scales from 0.5 to 2.0 and still get the same bug


    This isn't that much of a problem, what I was wondering is why are the sector map and the mini map graphics such poor quality still?

    No he's right. The Galaxy map is pretty bad, especially the quality of the image, when you zoom in. They need a high def one.

    You do realize you can zoom the mini map in and out, right?

    It's like there is one place that has good resolution but then zooming out or in once and it gets all pixilated. Thise is the same for both the mini-map and galaxy map.

    It'd also be nice to be able to set courses on the minimap...
    There was a thread posted by someone about a map revamp it was pretty sweet with waypoints and stuff

    Doubt we'll see any of that until 2012 though :P
