Is there a way to do classic style pointers (just strait lines with no distance indicators) in FGU?

No, the pointer graphics were all updated to the new style.

That's too bad, the new style is the opposite of helpful. In my traveller game we use it for plotting courses on star charts, the distance indicator is really cluttery and generally incorrect (meters instead of parsecs). Also the arrows are used to point, this is where you are, this is where you want to go etc., again distance is unnecessary.

Perhaps you might consider an option to remove the distance display.

You can set the distance units per map grid in the grid section of the image control panel, so at least the distance should be right.
