You don't need RUb, and if those features don't suit you you should remove the mod. The movie sequence is removed because players got sick of seeing it; the nav map 'ruler' is a device for measuring how far a target ship will travel; the compass is for judging bearing. These latter things are necessary for plotting manual target solutions. If you're not to the point where you plot manually you won't need them, and if you're finding these annoying you'll probably find a lot of the other features of RUb will also be too complex or too difficult. RUb is geared towards the hardcore player who has spent a lot of time with the game and who really wants a simulation to be as realistic as possible.
