Station Keeping
« on: November 21, 2015, 09:06:05 PM »

I'm having a blast hiding inside dust rings - amazing for ambushes as long as you are still - you can do active sensor bursts and see farther than you are seen as well (still dangerous!).

At present you can make short hops and stay counted as staying still - enough to keep up with the rings if you are clicking constantly. I would like some way to stay stationary relative to the ring system, so that I don't have to constantly micro to stay hidden.

I suggested some stuff about this to Alex, and he said he made a note of it, so fingers crossed!

Here it is

I would really like a way to station-keep like the AIs do orbiting planets/stations. Maybe holding the mouse button down for a couple seconds or ctrl-click? Have it work in the map-view, too, so you can drift in an asteroid belt or ring system.

Made a note; will take a look.
