To orient oneself in Free-flight mode, two pips -- one on your current trajectory and one on your reverse trajectory -- would be quite useful.

Yeah, i had suggested this a long time ago. I had seen it from another cross-platform online space combat game, Terminus.

Old thread. Maybe you can resurrect the idea.

Ignore my attitude towards physics mode, too. I use it exclusively now. Ah, how niave I was.

Good idea. A vector pip would be better then the existing debris field.

For a forward vector use:
--0--

For a backward vector use:
|
O
|

I would also like to see a readout of your current attitude in degrees. 0 deg pitch, 0 deg yaw would face north of the map. An attitude readout would let a group leader order his wingmen to point in the same direction.

Attitude indicator would be helpful in group senerio. It is certainly better than " do you see which way i'm pointing?"

Addition of any indicator for current course vector would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't like it before, don't like it now.

not more gui cruft.. :(

The only part I do like is being able to say "head 90�" or whatever to communicate where to go.... yet how does that work in space?

each sector has its own gravatasnale pull, why not have a middle of a sectors gravate (sucky spelling)
