Getting Closer, but this is STILL NOT an official Page (Yet)
I have the graphics and some ifo from the Tech Manuals... Just need to check the for more information.

Stay Tuned, Bat Fans!!


Spacial Navigation: Three Dimensional Travel
Navigation.jpg
Believe it or not, All Three of these ships are traveling on an Absolute Heading of 030.0


Navigation1.jpg


  • Relative Bearing: A Flight Vector specified as a combination of Horizontal & Vertical azimuth/elevation in relation to your ship's attitude. A bearing of 000.0 (read as "Zero-Zero-Zero mark Zero") would be directly in front of you.
  • Absolute Heading: A Flight Vector specified as a combination of Horizontal & Vertical azimuth/elevation relative to the center of the Galaxy. In THIS case, a bearing of 000.0 (read as "Zero-Zero-Zero mark Zero") would put you on a course to the Center Of The Galaxy.
  • Galactic Coordinates: Standard galactic XYZ coordinates are also acceptable as valid input, although most ships' personnel find this cumbersome and only use it for maneuvering inside a Nebula where sensors won't allow standard course plotting using Reaction Control Systems (RCS) thrusters.

Bearing

Divided into 360 Degrees around the Horizontal Plane of the ship.

Navigation3.jpg
Mark

Divided into 360 Degrees around the Vertical Plane of the ship.



Bearing4.gif
Another vessel's Horizontal position in relation to your direction of travel is Bearing 301.



Bearing3.gif
Another vessel's Vertical position in relation to your direction of travel is Mark 10.



Bearing5.gif
This vessel's relative position in relation to your direction of travel is Bearing 329 Mark 322.

Bearing2.gif
This vessel's position is Bearing 087 Mark ___ .
Answer: 30



Bearing1.gif
