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!!

Relative Bearing
 Bearing Divided into 360 Degrees around the Horizontal Plane of the ship. |
 Mark Divided into 360 Degrees around the Vertical Plane of the ship. |
Examples
Another vessel's Horizontal position in relation to your direction of travel is Bearing 301.
Another vessel's Vertical position in relation to your direction of travel is Mark 10.
This vessel's relative position in relation to your direction of travel is Bearing 329 Mark 322.
