New Consoles

There have been a few exciting additions to consoles in the last couple of weeks, including updates resulting from crew feedback during tactical simulations and the first science console panel.

System Updates

There have been a few exciting updates to vessel systems recently and an initial look at some of the systems coming up on the delivery roadmap.

Science Console

This is a placeholder for the science console.

New Impulse Flight Panel

Anyone who's tried to navigate a course with more than a few coursepoints will probably remember having to juggle a tablet with the course points on it. Not anymore! A new panel has been added to the helm to make impulse navigation much easier.

NV-IMP03 Impulse Navigation Panel

 Above: Example panel. Click to enlargeThe Impulse Navigation panel assists with the navigation of pre-plotted courses during impulse operations.

The panel consists of a scrollable list of course points and a 2D impulse map displaying the location of the course points, Astronomical Objects (AOs) and the vessel.

Weapons Direction Console

The Torpedo System console allows tactical specialists to manage firing solutions, launch and tracking of torpedoes.

Panels

The conole consists of two panels:

Firing Solutions TL-WDR01

This console provides firing solution calculators that allow operators to analyse the optimal conditions for torpedo launch and allows torpedo search parameters to be configured.

EMDAR Console

The EMDAR console allows the tactical team to analyse and manage data from the vessel's EM detection arrays, which provides data to identify and locate other vessels in surrounding space.

The console is made up of two panels. One provides displays sensor data, while the other allows users to manage the interpretation of that data (in the form of identifying 'contacts').

Component Panels

The console's component panels are:

Waterfall Module Configuration

Configuration settings for each EMDAR waterfall module are stored as applet data in JSON format.

Parameters

VESSEL ID: This is the UID of the vessel operating the underlying EMDAR system

ARRAY: This is the operating direction relative to the ship of this instance.

Options are:

  • fwd
  • aft
  • stbd
  • port

ORIENT: This is the orientation group (see below) that this instance belongs to.

Options are:

Contact Board Module Configuration

Configuration

Script Path: /view/nav/contacts/contactBoard.js

Function: dispConBoard(instance)

Display Modes

The contact board has two main display modes:

Active Mode (Mode 0)

This mode allows an operator to add and manage contacts. Typically there is only one active contact board.

TL-EMD02 Panel

This panel works in conjunction with TL-EMD01. It is dominated by the Contact Board module (in active mode), which allows users to add and manage EMDAR contacts.
