As Anr is trying to say, the XML file is generated on your local computer using the starmap data that you query when refresh the starmap. So there is no XML file being sent to your computer, it is just being generated.
A few of bugs/oddities I have found:
- Requerying a sector still looks like it is redownloading the whole starmap, at least the loading bar says it is downloading all ~700 sectors.
- When requerying a sector, the selection is lost of that sector.
- One of my systems is showing up as a yellow dot with signal strength, but sector is blue. I don't know if this is intentional and I'll have to check if anything is in the system that isn't mine. City in system: Walpurgis
- I don't quite understand the new "3³ Nearby Sectors" checkbox. Isn't that the same as the "Sector" numeric input when set to 1? Maybe it is useful if you are querying another galaxy than your current one and also want your nearby sectors, but this just doesn't seem useful.
- Timestamp on the spacecraft report hurts my brain, who uses "fr sep 7 22:24:44 2018"? Maybe because I am a programmer I prefer "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.zzz".
- Spacecraft locations don't seem to update. I moved my ship to another system, it is still showing as being in the previous system.
