jump points
this is...(probably)...an easy one. it wouldnt really do much except to help newer players out a bit.
the jump point on radar shows up as a green + about the same size as a ship contact. though it only takes a few seconds to locate the jump point on the HUD, as we all know a few seconds in VO can be fatal. for a newer player to find the jump point on radar in a sector with a friendly convoy and thus be able to steer towards it, could be a bit confusing.
so I propose changing the color or size or shape or all three. if a new pilot can find the jump point easier, he/she is more likely to survive that first foray into grey space where so many of them get killed.

Sensible idea . Bigger blue + by default with a hud option to make it a little blue + or turn it off as desired.
I like that. anyone whos done the tutorials knows that you can sector jump 3000m out so turning it off is cool and, if it appeared larger on the radar it would be easier for the newbies to see it.
