Well thats just plain stupid if you think about it. So we are supposed to be 
in the far future with space ships and massive stations and yet the 
navigation software doesnt even know any of the systems you are travelling 
to. I mean in Star Wars ofr example Han Solo programs his navigation 
software with known stellar features in order to navigate to his target. 
Similarly in Elite you have a huge database of known systems in your ships 
computer with just sketchy info on unknown systems. That to me is realistic. 
But here we are supposedly in the third segment of a game and the ships 
still dont know anyhting about their surroundings. Even to the point where 
you dont even know the known Argon sectors? How bloody stupid. It just shows 
that no one is thinking in the development team. Are they all on some kind 
of drug when they come up with the concepts for these games or something??!!

God Im really gald I havent bought the game. What a load of crap.
