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
nearby planet directly ahead.
nearby planet directly aft.
By a key toggle on the astrogation console, the advanced compass can alternatively navigate by
Sun
sun directly ahead.
sun directly aft.
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
witchpoint buoy directly ahead.
witchpoint buoy directly aft.
Station Buoy
station buoy directly ahead.
station buoy directly aft.
Station
nearby station directly ahead.
nearby station directly aft.
Target
locked target directly ahead.
locked target directly aft.
