Advanced Space Compass
Contents
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.
