Distance Units Suggestions

01 Apr 2017 16:53

Hi,

Not sure if I am the only one, but I would very much like an overhaul of the distance units to be much more customizable. For instance, I would prefer to set all distances over a million miles into light seconds or light years, but no light minutes/hours/days etc. Others might want it other ways. I would also like to have miles per hour at low speeds, not feet/meters per second. Also, the radius of stars and planets should always be given in miles/kilometers with comparisons to radius of the sun and earth (respectively) in brackets. Never "light hours" or anything lol.

Also, I would VERY much love an ETA, that calculates your velocity and the distance to the object and gives you a time to arrival. Dynamic of course. 

Thanks for your consideration!

I suggested something like this before and SpaceEngineer said maybe but it would have to be added at a later date.

Same for this, in fact it was partially implemented under the Warp mechanic HUD.
