Alternate jump range indicator OXP

F6 screen (without ANA loaded)

Overview

An alternative method of showing which systems are within jump range. The less accurate green circle is replaced by coloured lines.

Reasoning

The problems with drawing a properly circular circle in the Oolite game code means that it approximates - and that reachable systems can be beyond the circumference. The game code rounds down to the integer witchspace quantum (1 IWQ = 0.4 LY) - thus 7.15ly becomes 6.8ly. This oxp is therefore more accurate.
