Heading Indicator in Radar

[Winterhome]

Nothing too fancy, just a white line to the edge of the radar for Galactic North, a short colored line for Galactic East, and another short line for Galactic Up, all of which rotate together when turning.

Can has pls?

Yeah, some form of this is needed.

Aye. although pressing 'C' by default aligns you it would be nice to have.

You lose track of your position and orientation when you're in heavy combat. All you really know are enemy positions compared to your own after a while, so a heading indicator is pretty much necessary for heavy and detailed faction fleet command

Aye why i saw the use for it.

This would be an excellent addition I would love to see this implemented in the game. This could be taken further so that it is a block that could be added and enhanced to improve over all radar effectivness.

AKA an Artificial Horizon.

Funny how when I suggest it, few actually liked it while others told me to just press C or use Z and X, or hold Ctrl...

Yeah, there are a few forum lurkers who just like to crap on stuff regardless of value.

It's a good idea and would be helpful.

Yep, we need an artificial horizon.
