Inertia/Direction indicator on HUD for ships
Greetings,
When inertia dampeners are on, it is hard to determine the ships direction if no points of reference are in sights.
My suggestion is to add a visual indicator on the HUD, showing the direction of the ship.
I linked multiple images to explain my suggestion :
1)A is current HUD
1) B is current HUD but with no point of reference.
2) is a suggestion with an example going forward with the ship.
3) is a suggestion with an example going forward left (horizontal) with the ship.
4) shows the reverse indicator, as the ship is going in reverse.
5) shows the reverse indicator, as the ship is going in reverse up.
Indicator is exagerated (and thick) for demonstration purpose.
This would work in any situation, as sometimes there is no point of references, you know your ship is moving, thanks to the speedometer, but not really "where" it is moving.
In situation for landing too, it can indicate the direction for a smooth landing with dampeners off, as you could use it as a target combined with the speedometer to adjust the maneuver.
I like this feedback 
Better ui, better game.

I agree. The UI of the game is attractive.
But information-wise it is literally pathetic.
And this applies not only to the display of flight information, but in fact to any information about the equipment/grid being built, the parts being used, or anything at all.

I agree, I'd maybe suggest an option to make them look like the ksp prograde/retrograde markers maybe

Found this on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator
Flight Director Attitude Indicator
It differs from the horizon attitude indicator as this one was used on the Apollo space missions.
I think it shows how the orientation of the vessel differs from the line of its trajectory.
Hey, but this is old tech.
It looks a bit fiddly to read when in high speed maneuvers.

While I think that the proposed indicators are a bit too large/egregious, the idea overall is pretty solid
