minimap and zooming

from GalCiv2 Forums
When playing on a gigantic galaxy, you cannot see the stars in the minimap, so you have to zoom it. This is a bit tricky (in general), and even impossible when you try zooming near one of the map edges (or at least the superior edge).

It would be good if the stars did show on the main map, even in uncharted territory.

This was brought up in another thread, but yeah I agree it would be good if the map showed star locations. Either than or the mini-map stops showing star locations, but I think I'd rather see them.

I started my first game in a large galaxy last night and ran into the same problem. While using the scroll wheel to zoom the minimap seems "cool" at first, and is consistent with the treatment of the main map, the limited size of the minimap makes it hard to use. If the minimap could be scrolled left/right/up/down it might be more manageable, but I think ultimately the best solution might be to add a button to maximize the minimap (like GC1 had).
