A new feature that will let you change your orbit from a vertical orbit to a horizontal orbit or any where in between. Clock wise or counter cloak wise.

When you right click the orbit button in the selected item window a circle will show up around your ship. Right click it and move it to the desired angle to change your orbit.

DO you have a specific reason for this or is it purely cosmetic?

I like this :) might prevent bumps in larger fleets. You get a +1 :D

It would be useful to be able to decide the vector of your orbit, how many times have you closed in to orbit another ship and ended up changing direction once you hit the orbit button, or, as mentioned above, bumped something while orbiting. It would be a nice added bonus, a mid way point between using the automated controls and full manual piloting.
