Star Citizen explorers! There’s now a new tool that will help you find, locate, name, and share locations in the Star Citizen universe with other people!
Explorers, now’s your chance to name that huge mountain, that enormous crater or that strange geological formation. Where is Robert’s Crater? Or Disco Mountain? Someone has yet to discover the Avacado Plains or Witkin Bay… but now they have the perfect tool to make it happen. Go for it, Deep Space Expeditions :)
MyRadar is a popular weather app here in the States. Through our collaboration with Cloud Imperium and their ambitious game Star Citizen, we can now let users browse the moons and planets of Stanton right from within our app.
In addition, users can now place markers on the map, label them, and share them with other users. The markers do not appear in the game, but you can share them with other users and even share links to the markers on social media and on websites.
To see the moons of Star Citizen, download MyRadar for iOS or Android, launch the app, and tap the “Map Types” icon in the toolbar (2nd in from the left).
From there, down at the bottom, you should see a list of the selectable moons and planets. You can scroll the listing left and right, and tap to select a particular moon. This latest version includes all the moons of Stanton, including Daymar, Yela, Cellin, Arial, Aberdeen, Magda, Ita, Wala and Lyria. At the moment, we’re still working on improving and tweaking the imagery for Hurston and ArcCorp, so they are currently unavailable and coming soon.
Users can pan around and zoom in and out of the maps using standard finger gestures. Each moon also has in-game details about the moons gravity, orbit, size, and other characteristics. The top bar at the top of the screen can be “pulled down” with your thumb or finger to reveal additional details.
To place a marker on the map, center the map to the general vicinity of where you’d like to place the marker, then tap-and-hold the screen. An initial marker will show up on the map, along with triangulation coordinates from the nearest outposts in the upper right-hand corner of the map. While in this mode, you can pan around and zoom in and out in order to fine-tune the location of the marker. When you’re at the right spot, tap the “Place” button, and you’ll be prompted to name your new marker.
To share the marker, you can tap it with your finger and then tap the “Share” button. Using this method you can share a link to the marker with other users over social media, discord, email, or other chat platforms. When another user clicks on the shared link, if they don’t have MyRadar installed, they will be prompted install it by giving them a special web page with instructions on how to get it. If they DO have it installed, MyRadar will automatically launch and place the marker on the map for them, adding it to their collection.
