Overview
The Compass is the vital instrument to help navigate from the witchpoint buoy to the main orbital station.
Modes
One may navigate by:
Planet
nearby planet directly ahead.
nearby planet directly aft.
and when one is close to the planet, the compass immediately switches over to
Station
nearby station directly ahead.
nearby station directly aft.
- N - Main orbital station Navigation buoy (N may show beside the compass when you are close enough to the station)
- N - Main orbital station Navigation buoy (N may show beside the compass when you are close enough to the station)
Upgrade
This can be upgraded (for some 650₢) in a TechLevel 8 or greater system to the Advanced Space Compass/ASC. The ASC allows identification of far more objects than just the planet & main orbital station (the sun, the witchpoint buoy, other planets & moons, other stations, rock hermits etc).
History
The replacement of the circle (for the planet) by the square (for the station) was introduced for Oolite v.1.90. This was after [15 years] of new players being told to look for the change to the square - and the change not happening! This could be quite confusing for new players, needless to say!
