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
nearby sun directly ahead.
nearby sun directly aft.
Witchpoint Buoy
nearby witchpoint buoy directly ahead.
nearby witchpoint buoy directly aft.
nearby nav buoy directly ahead.
nearby nav buoy directly aft.
Station
nearby station directly ahead.
nearby station directly aft.
Target
locked target directly ahead.
locked target directly aft.
Availability
Cr. 650, at TL 7 systems and up.
