Gravity align

[TheKingOfSpace]

For planets, mostly; a button to align your ship (like the c key does in open space) to the planet segment's direction of gravity.

Like, pressing C when facing a planet segment would align you to it? +1

not when facing a segment.

when you are affected by it's gravity.
You should align vertically to exactly between +gravity axis and -gravity axis.


I think it should not align you horizontally just once you press it, but you can toggle between 0 and a setting-value of

• 0 = ignore it.
• 1 = use full rotation ability to stay horizontal.
• 0.5 = you can rotate up and down, but rotate back equally fast when not forcing the rotate.

maybe per ship, inherited from game settings for new ships.


For a 1-time alignment, just press it and a short time after deactivate it again - that is a lot more flexible and not much more difficult to implement
