.center [field number]
centers map on the field with that number
Reason: On many maps, field numbers seem to be assigned rather randomly. Often it takes a lot of time to locate a base (and no, ',move' doesn't always cut it), especially when calls for help are going out.
Surely not the first time this has been wished, so it's pobably about time ;)

If I can simply use ".c" as well, why not?
While we are at it, why not make all the popular commands work with single character aliases?

An add on to the OP, now that we have pilots names above their dots why not have a ".center pilotname" command?

.centre is an excellent idea +1
Can you not just use the goto option to find a player?

There are some maps with over 200 bases. When someone is talking about a base, when you are flying and incapable of searching a huge map, the ability to quickly find it would be very helpful. How is this anything close to "flying my plane for me" or "shoot the bad guy," pray tell? It's a handy tool for the map, not something that changes gameplay completely. Talk about a straw man, jeez.

.move doesn't work when flying... but .center would be .... real easy.

There is a work around, just open field status, click on the field and it turns white.

1. OP said when a call for help goes out you need to find base fast... dot.move### ...easy. You say flying around, what good whould this do to you to find this base fast if your "flying", you going to bail to help that base?

Uh, yes. Alternatively, bail to join a mission leaving from that base, land quickly to do the same. Is it really that unbelievable that one would have reason to wish to find something quickly on the map when they can't currently move there?

I proposed this too long ago as a .locate (base number).
Idea was shot down by the usual old guard players that do not want change.
Nevertheless it is a good idea Lusche.
