How to find system by name? - 9/29/2014 1:12:15 AM

Status: offline 		Hi,

Is there a way to find a system by name, i.e. without having to scour through the map for it?

For example, my diplomacy window tells me that there's a pirate base in "Gulrath 4 (Gulrath system)". How do I find that on the map? Unfortunately clicking on the name doesn't do anything...

Thanks!

I can't think of a better and more reliable way.

Even EU4 has a "find province by name" function, right?

If you don't have any assets in the system then maybe use the expansion planner -> Potential colony -> show low quality?

As it stands, clicking on event popups or logs is random as to where it takes you. Blew up a base and got swag? Random system. Same for many other events.
