Have you ever been confused when trying to warp to a gas giant?

    Hi guys, so I'm new to Empyrion and space exploration games. I recently spent ages trying to work out how to warp to what I thought were planets located around my starter planet.

    After starting a new bug report it was explained to me that the target was a gas giant rather than a planet, and gas giants can not be warped to.

    As you can see in this screenshot there are 3 objects that I'm assuming are gas giants (Lea, Kai and IDAADI).
    This assumption is based on the fact that i can not select 'lock target' for these

    The question is who else thinks that gas giants should be more clearly labeled and the fact they can't be warped to should be better highlighted? Is it just me that has been caught out by this or is it something that has tripped up others?

    They just need either a red or greyed-out name to indicate the difference between warpability.

    SAME HERE!
    Even once i lost a ship running from drones and repeatedly trying to warp planning escape. Lost ship, lost items. Had to respawn at Inifrona.

    Actually, only with this thread I understood the Kai is not warpable. =)
    Is it stated anytwhere in the game?

    Thanks!
