Problem: I don’t know about the rest of the people on the forum, but I tend to do multiple laps around an island to try and remember where I parked my ship.
Solution: A way to fix this is to have a second marker similar to the player’s map marker. It would be at the ship’s position and show its direction. The ship marker would look like an aerial view of the player’s ship (dyed the player’s energy bar color).
Q&A:
Q: wouldn’t this clutter the map when the player’s driving on the ship?
A: the ship marker would disappear while the player is driving
Q: I wouldn’t want this to clutter up my map
A: there should be a setting that goes along with the suggestion to turn the ship marker on or off.
