I was referring to the one you get when you enter a system.

I don't think there's really a clear-cut alternative other than removing it (which I don't suggest), it's just a convention of the game. Espeically with short games, you're wasting a lot of time entering star systems and retreating all the time. I just think the radar before you enter combat mode spoils some of the surprise of how many ships you'll be going up against.
