Orientation and alignment blocks - to match axis and rotation between grids

A block that defines a preferred orientation.

Placing this block would determine front, back, up, down, left and right for approaching another grid with the same type of block.

This could be useful in assisting a basic autopilot or for the pilot to adjust their ships form to match another grid simply. When two grids are both mobile the system would defer to adjusting the lighter grid's orientation to the heavier grid.

Thoughts..


This could be incorporated into the remote block, but how could I control/change the orientation matching without changing the remote block?

AI move in SE1 only aligns to planetary gravity.

May be anything that can declare a GPS position could also declare an orientation...Hmm...

Do gyros know which way up they are?


Idk.
