I'd like to be able to flag a system as interesting, when I explore, so that I can easily come back to it later to colonise etc
With the current UI, I find myself repeatedly browsing around the galaxy map, checking to make sure I haven't forgotten to colonise a useful planet.
I'm thinking something like shift-click, to add a coloured flag beside the star, perhaps several colours which cycle through as you click

There's a long-standing suggestion to add map indicator icons for sitreps. There's no particular reason these could be user-addable as well.

Cool, that sort of thing could do the job, as you say as long as the user can both add and clear these report icons as desired

User created flag are a long-standing request too: see here.

When somebody is ready to implement, i can probably quickly provide the graphic goods for this.
