Compass Improvements #44

Open Kroc opened 6 years ago

Kroc commented 6 years ago

Elite-B enhances the compass with some useful features:

  1. Indicates Station front / behind
  2. Target Planet or Sun
  3. Target selection (cycle through targets in range, such as ships)
  4. Auto-locks on missiles

I'd like to do something similar, but would prefer greater clarity than Elite-B's cryptic colour scheme. Planet & Sun could be represented by an open and filled circle respectively (since they are always directly opposite each other), and other targets by an "x".

The compass could be drawn using a sprite; related to: #11.

Also see #16: Target Reticule, as this is closely related
