Advanced Space Compass

Overview

The Tyley-Feynman GW-99 astro-navigation compass with user-selectable target modes, is an addition to the ship a commander is unlikely to regret. The function it offers beyond that of the basic compass may seem like an unnecessary luxury, but there are many hidden navigational utilities in space, and once experienced how to exploit them with the ASC's contribution to effortless space-orienteering, one comes quickly to rely and depend on it.

Modes

As with a basic compass, one may navigate by

Planet

• nearby planet directly ahead.
• nearby planet directly aft.

By a key toggle on the astrogation console, the advanced compass can alternatively navigate by

Sun

• sun directly ahead.
• sun directly aft.

Navigational Buoys

Navigational buoys are indicated by a triangle, and an identifying letter. Pressing the \ or # key will cause the Advanced Space Compass to cycle though all the Beacons being transmitted by stations, buoys or ships in the current system.
