Quote from: "James Patten"QuoteIt would be fairly neat if when a move to order was issued the TG would plot a to intercept a planet instead of chasing it.
I notice the same thing happening with mineral packets sent by mass drivers - the packets move in something other than a straight line as the planet moves. Don't have a problem with it, myself.
It can add few hours at worse, which can really make a difference if there combat over a planetary body.
This has come up in the past; Steve has said that he doesn't want to deal with the complexity/math. If you want a lead pursuit course, you'll have to set a waypoint by eyeball

Boo, but alright. Is there a way to see orbital speed?
I could probably guesstimate it through its year length.
