A working compass in your HUD
« on: August 11, 2013, 10:06:06 am »
I'm gonna keep this short and brief because there is not much to say about.
I, and I'm probably not the only one would love to have a working compass on the HUD.
For example; a Galleon needs to line up straight to a ship to fire upon it, it would be really helpful if you could say "x degrees port captain" so he knows exactly how big the turn has to be for his crew members to unleash all hell on deck of other ships.

I hope more people will feel this way, it would add more depth to the already amazing game.

Keep it up!

Fabian

You can work out X degrees to port/starboard from the current compass.

Really? Where can I find this compass, because I don't seem to have it.

It's at the top of the screen.

What i meant was a small compass in the (for example) lower right corner which has numbers AND figures.

Well the compass has notches that are great for directing focus of your teammates; for example you can tell them to shoot/look one notch east of North.

I totally agree with you though something like a small pocket compass with precise coordinates and numbers plus symbols would be great.
