Description
!!! WORK IN PROGRESS !!!

This Mod adds a Display App to the Game.

This Display then will look for Connectors on the Grid and from this Connectors outgoing it will looks for other Connectors not on the Gird.
The closest pair will be used to show two markers and the relative Position to each other.
This can help to navigate for docking.

Please have in mind, that this is still in progress.
Please let me know any issues.

Determine the forward direction of connector/docking ship i should say....

A Thought: Instead of trying to determine the "forward" direction of the connector being used to set the directional orientation, do what other scripts/mods do and pull that information from a remote or main cockpit?

As, stated, this is WIP; and I need to do more testing before release.
I'd prefer to release something that works as intended, with the intention being to work intuitively 99.99% of the time. :-)

This is absolutely doable via in game scripting.

I've already got the first part of what you described running in an in game script.
Working out the directional/orientation intelligence part then testing before I release to the community.

it would be nice to have an option to just show a target with no facing information, just a way to center the connectors, and not worry about orientation at all. then a setting to rotate the "forward" direction on your grid'd connector so you can make it match what works for your grid.

This mod definitely assumes that the x,y,z axis of the docking ships will be aligned in a certain way, when in reality they do not have to be aligned like that in order to dock, thus the orientation display issues.

@everyone think of it like setting the sensor parameters. every block has a front, back, top, bottom, etc

@FieldCaptain just a thought maybe turn the connector around. fr lemme know if that works lol

This is an awesome mod but the positioning doesn’t always line up correctly. It’s inverted. Still useable and very handy though
