I wish there was a galactic plane grid you could toggle on and off. With a nice line connecting a ship to a point on this grid.
Example
Bad pilots already play this game in two dimensions only, don’t make it worse for them by adding a grid they can cling to IMHO. But if it’s for the map then yes, I would like it to be improved in that way.
Most people play games in 2 dimensions. Growing up with gravity tends to do that. It takes exposure and expierience to get the trick of it. At least with a grid you can give directions with a common reference. Even in enders game, the enemies gate was down.
I believe he meant on the mini map.
tbh i previously felt interested in having some plane/better gyroscope like dis is suggesting…more or less to use as a quick xyz reference but now it feels like it may just impede cartography map to map.
Now back to my duties as official warp gate placement czar as there are many warp gates that must be checked for meteors…

Fair point. I used to use the tactical overlay in EVE Online in 1 vs Many situations to manage ranges (it would show the various ranges of guns/modules as bubbles around your ship) so I’ll concede it has its uses.
There is an option to automatically align your ship with the plane when idle btw.

Turned it off right away. Because its my plane and I will orientate however I want too.
While I don’t like auto-orientation (because odds are I’m aligned the way I am for a reason) having a way to determine the default “up” direction is useful for getting bearings after a frantic battle.
