When you are anchoring a structure that allows ships to dock and undock, can you identify the undock area to make it easier to line up the undock with a desired direction.

If you want a gold star beside your name, you could add an option to the anchoring window to automatically align the undock with a celestial object (i.e. stargate, planet, structure, etc).

based on experience, i always undock in front of the citadel, so knowing what's the citadel's front side, you can face it anywhere you want.

make an alt, try docking and undocking to all open citadels in hisec.

insta dock and undock on citadels is not an issue anymore because of tether.

Having a visual point of reference wouldn't be that crazy, actually. Tethering does make it a lot less strategically important. Still, I can't think of a reason it'd create a problem or muck up balance in the Force somewhere.
