Use course/distance as command input #18

Right now we take coordinates as direction for move and attack.

I'd prefer these to be direction and distance based, so you need to use your head a little ;)

Also, when the ship computer is installed (i.e. implemented), there's a command there for calculating the course/distance to a given coordinate. But the computer may get damaged, so it may not always be available, and it takes a little extra time, so if you've got a good eye, it will give you an edge on the competition (planning for multiplayer.. ;)

What do you think? (I think we may have touched on this subject before..)

No objection on bumping back to the polar coordinate system as in the original BSDtrek/luatrek. A course/distance computer should be implemented as well (and will get damaged).
