Spacial Navigation: Three Dimensional Travel

Believe it or not, All Three of these ships are traveling on an Absolute Heading of 030.0

[edit] Types of Navigation

Navigation1.jpg XYZ Coordinates.jpg

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

[edit] Relative Bearing

Navigation2.jpg
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.
