Movement directions reference magnetic poles #9

Open cruncheon opened 5 years ago

Current direction movements are north, south, east, west, etc. Since the setting is in space, movements should reference something besides magnetic poles.

These could be changed to something such as forward, reverse, left, right, etc., but these have issues as well.

One possibility I am considering is referencing them all to angles against the ecliptic of the system. I need to do some research on how exactly to name these if I go that route (pitch and yaw? I feel like I read better terms somewhere). The assumption would be that all systems are aligned the same (for sanity's sake) where the current North is 0,0 degrees. South would be 180,0 and Up would be x,90.
