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