View Sector Boundaries

[Winterhome]

A checkbox in advanced build mode.

When pressed, it shows the sector's boundaries in the form of a wall graphic similar to how Planes of Symmetry are rendered. It also draws a line/arrow through the center of each sector, running through the X Y and Z axes.

This will make it possible for station builders and such to make sure their stuff isn't close to sector boundaries (lag prevention), as well as making it much easier to perform "advanced" fleet maneuvers.

Or a graphics option, visible sector borders.

Until that feature is implemented...

That's nice to know. Inconvenient and difficult to read, but nice to know none the less.

Or how about simply having the system pop up a warning like "Warning: You are within 500m of the sector boundry." when starting a station?

This should not only be an option for when building stations but also for when you want to spawn one.
I know multiple people have spawned their rather large stations on sector boundaries.

Not enough information there to build or restart the station closer to the core of the sector. The player might pick up and start building even closer to the sector edge by accident without some direction. Might need to add something to make such a warning more useful.

posable a button to add a nav marker for the centre of the sector.
