Easier Screenshots

[CalculusWarrior]

Another sneaky little feature the devs added in either 0.20 or 0.20.1, the icons for vessels now disappear when you press the F2 key. This makes taking screenshots a lot easier!

That has been a feature since 0.13.

EDIT: Actually, you are quite correct, the vessel icon hiding wasn't there before. This is why I shouldn't post at 6.45AM.

Indeed. I've found this to be quite handy, myself

What vessel icon? In the map view you mean?

[Monkthespy]

Been in since maybe .14? Maybe .16.

Neomorph, now F2 hides the magenta icons on other objects even if you have F4 turned on. Actually, I liked it the previous way, with F2 and F4 being separate toggles which didn't affect each other. Sometimes it's handy to turn off the HUD and scan the sky for your rendezvous target's icon.

It was certainly in 0.19 used it myself a few times to see spaceships without the icon in the way.

You could turn off he markers before with F4.

I also preferred it the old way, sometimes it's nice to your base marker in the distance.
