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 once discovered its contribution to effortless space-orienteering, one comes quickly to rely and depend on it.


Interpretation

As with a basic compass, one may navigate by

Planet

  • OoASC-plr.png nearby planet directly ahead.
  • OoASC-plf.png nearby planet directly aft.


With a toggle on the astration console, the advanced compass can alternatively navigate by

Sun

  • OoASC-sf.png nearby sun directly ahead.
  • OoASC-sr.png nearby sun directly aft.

Witchpoint Buoy

  • OoASC-wif.png nearby witchpoint buoy directly ahead.
  • OoASC-wir.png nearby witchpoint buoy directly aft.

Station Buoy

  • OoASC-buf.png nearby station buoy directly ahead.
  • OoASC-bur.png nearby station buoy directly aft.

Station

  • OoASC-stf.png nearby station directly ahead.
  • OoASC-str.png nearby station directly aft.

Target

  • OoASC-taf.png locked target directly ahead.
  • OoASC-tar.png locked target directly aft.


Availability

Cr. 650, at TL 7 systems and up.
