The question isn’t where, but when?

I’m referring here to the planet surface map.

To initiate the planetside you have to open your scanner first, andthencan open a “surface map”.

This conjures the aforementioned blue void, which makes sense from at least one point of view.

In practise when you’re playing, it’s a little annoying in the more authored, quest-dense areas.

The example picture up top is from New Atlantis, the first big city you go to.

Did I pick these perks to see if they would ever awkwardly collide in the game system?

Haha, I’ll never tell!

Serves them (presumably) right.

I suppose it’s not actually on the surface, so.

I could have done with something a bit closer toStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s map style.

That is, I have to say, frustrating.

But I am at least paying a lot of attention to what’s going on around me.
