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

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


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

Sun

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

Navigational Buoys

Navigational buoys are indicated by a triangle, and an identifying letter: W for the witchpoint and N for the station buoy. Other buoys (identified by other letters) may also be detected.

Witchpoint Buoy

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

Station Buoy

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