well I was thinking about this earlier, and it just struck me.
a three dimensional sphere, with lines. it would have to be very vivid, none of this pale background stuff now. within it, would be 3 co-ordinates, polar of the system, such as north and south. then at 90 degrees from this, the system disk.. the eqator, with 360 degrees..
then the third co-ord would of couse be whatever distance from the center of the star.
but anyhow. within this sphere, it would show an object, and its known travel path.. (or orbit) would very easily show stations, planets, and so forth.. perhaps with a seperate icon for each.. and a color for your IFF (since this would be radar)
then depending on your radar distance, would show ships as well.
for a hud radar.. you would be the center of that map.. (but it would be still located off the star, s all the numbers and such would be the same as the system display.. just only showing a section around your ship so you could easily determine how far from you each object is)
system map/hud radar
