It would be very nice if the navigation console got upgrades like the whole ship. These upgrades could be automatic and in line with the ship and quests upgrades or could be craftable with the most rare ores you can access at the moment (steel, durasteel and solarium for example) and electronic components like chips, wires and diodes. One of the upgrades may add the possibility to show if there are villages or other big structures on the surface of the planet (like tombs or uscm penal colonies) and the race of the structure (for example: On planet xyz's surface there is a floran village or an avian tomb). This mechanic could improve the speed in searching specific objects for the quests you obtain after you upgraded to Falcon Class, removing the boring, long and fuel-losing travels in search of specific random structures.
It look pretty much like a planet scanner I think. But, also, looking for structures is part of the fun, and there is also the fuel which is quit easy to get, so well, I think you got here a good idea, but I like things as they are.
If the upgrade (or scanner, the name dowsn't matter so much) is craftable, you can choose to do not use it, like the portable pixel printer. The ability to choose is essential in my humble opinion
