What about pre planned flight pathing in general?

Having options for a programmed set of maneuvers, using the starting point as the reference, could be useful in many ways.

The ship computer loading a spiral path for speed tanking, or an asymmetrical orbit, or simply evasive maneuvers to squeeze out every bit of possible advantage.

Science fiction has examples of pre planned tactical flight maneuvers, so why shouldn't we?

I would like to be able to orbit a space in between two asteroids so I can keep both Strip Miners within range of two different asteroids.

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

read the rules. bumping is prohibited, also to define a real orbit you'd need 3 parameters.
two angles and a distance.
other than that +1

Would LOVE this to be implemented. Did a quick photoshop of how it could look. The directional ball would only show if you hover over the line: http://i.imgur.com/7pRm24N.jpg

The maths to implement better orbiting mechanics isn't actually that complicated.
It's vector maths which takes your current location & direction, their location and direction and generates adjustments based on your ship agility to try and direct you perfectly into the orbit. Which would also mean you no longer drive straight at them, but instead angle at a point that is a 90 degree angle from them relative to you. Though at long distances you would still mostly be heading towards them, but closer in relative to orbit size would be a lot different.

+1 for smarter controls.

Also would like the AB/MWD to auto adjust speed depending on orbit. My AF can't orbit at like 500 with ether, but turning them off it orbits just fine at the closer ranges.

There will be no active orbit option I guess : p

Aura normally sends me closer to my enemy when I want to be further away so +1 from me.

Certainly a useful idea, I'd be interested to hear how the implementation would go. Because I damn sure never want to see another cursor wheel ever again.
