Optional button for asteroids shown on/for orbit map

[halcyon]

Hello.

While I saw someone else's thread on actually cutting down the amount of asteroids that spawn, with the general consensus of people berating the guy with the response of 'just don't track them' (which I find interesting... why have them at all then.. not much of a helpful response if you ask me) but instead I think their should be a button for actually turning them on/off on the orbital map.

In my case here, I have not tracked any, and ive found it a pain to try to reselect kerbal many times just due to the ones that are showing up as anonymous. (its a flight back from Eeloo)

Instead of the self defeating purpose (unconstructive advice) of ignoring them, why not make a way to optionally show them on or off? A switch? an option somewhere perhaps?

thanks for your time

Isn't there a button in the map AND Tracking station that removes them from showing on the map? Same goes for all player made crafts, flags and eva kerbals?

while there is an 'unknown' option for the tracking station, it does not effect the orbital map. I see no option on the orbital map for removing them.

keep in mind when I say orbital map, this isn't the tracking station map.

I know at the top of the orbital map there is a menu that comes down allowing you to select targets the same as the VAB. Just go into "map mode" and put your cursor near the top middle of the screen. I believe this what your talking about.

well hey. hows that for a quick suggestion wish coming true.

No problem, I didn't know that thing was there for a few months either. One of those hidden things
