I mentioned vanjast's RealNav in my first post. I think it was the best in-game effort at navigation. All mods risk interfering with each other because they try to modify the same game element or affect something the other mod relies on. I will try to show all my work so somebody can create their customized version that works with their soup of mods.

It seems the state of the art hasn't advanced much and the old problems have not been solved. I will be solving a few of them which will improve things quite a bit.

Cool, huge, mod. SH5 does seem a different beast. I don't own SH4 or SH5 so I will be working here on SH3. I would appreciate your feedback if I find something that benefits the SH5 users. I read some of the threads, and my impression was that the star shots are performed out-of-game with Stellarium?
