Maps relative to ship orientation

Would it be possible to add the option to make the maps perspective change to match the orientation, I constantly do flips and rolls so it gets really annoying when I have to open the map close it turn the ship then open the map again or look around until I find what I’m looking for.

Ps: maybe add map markers too, please

As a longtime player, I’ve gotten accustomed to reading the 3D Radar and thus knowing exactly where things are in the vicinity of my ship… I often forget that being able to do this effortlessly is not a normal thing, especially for new players not familiar with a game that uses actual 3D battlegrounds like this.

As a workaround, you can mess with the HUD settings to enable icons to either be near the edge of the screen, or around your aiming reticle (whichever you prefer). This can help you find a crate hiding in a wreck if you are flying along and see the little [X] pop up… you just follow the icon until you are looking at the crate.

It may or may not work for you, but how I do it is that I have the 3D radar bubble in the corner for initial spotting, and directional icons set to the edge of the screen (so my aiming reticle is not cluttered). I will spot something on the radar, and that will tell me what direction it is, and whether it is up or down relative to my ship. I then home-in on it more precisely using the icons.
