Compass: planet is to the left but in front

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

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

or when one is close to the planet, the compass immediately switches over to

Station

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


  • N - Main Orbital Station navigation buoy


Upgrade

This can be upgraded (for some 650cr) in a TechLevel 8 or greater system to the Advanced Space Compass. This allows identification of far more objects than just the planet & main orbital station.
