Galactic Coordinates

from GalCiv2 Forums

Just wondering how much the players use the coordinates of the locations of ships etc. given on several of the game screens.  For example a screen giving details about a rally point  might show 30, 40  which in some way I haven't studied  represents the latitude and longitude of the rally point.  Sometimes I find myself wasting time looking around for a ship that seems to be lost, such as when the ship stops directly on a starbase or runs into a colony and goes into orbit.  Anybody yse the coordinates much?

 

Thanks for your replies.

Personally, if I can't find a ship, I just go to that one screen that lists all your planets and ships and scroll through till I find the one I'm looking for. It might take a bit of time if I have a ton of ships, but it works for me. I never felt the need to use coordinates, as in a small galaxy, I'll memorize where everything is, and in a big one, I don't even bother to memorize more than the necessary areas, such as major production planets, or areas that I plan on invading.
