Changes

  • Ruler: straight-line distances in the map view, snapping to bodies, body surfaces (the edge of a planet's disc), and points on orbit lines
  • Protractor: true 3D angle at a chosen apex plus both arm lengths, e.g. the phase angle between two planets around their star
  • Surface mode: pin two points to a body's surface for the great-circle distance, chord, and initial bearing; pins track the body's rotation
  • Free placement: clicks on empty space land on the camera plane, ctrl-click places on the ecliptic plane through the reference body
  • Live preview with snap highlighting, hover-sync between the measurement list and the map, and click-to-copy values
  • Short right-click cancels a placement, or pauses measuring so the game plays normally with the window still open
