Add Retrograde and Prograde HUD elements.
As there are no true orbital mechanics, this wouldn't be true retrograde or prograde. But having additional ways to aid in gameplay without dampers would be extremely helpful. So you can boost in a direction, coast. With these elements you'd always know where you are going, and know where to point to to slow down. Make small course corrections by aiming on an offset and watch the element slowly shift to the new course until it is at the point you want to go to.
I have been playing the new survival without dampeners as much as possible, and it is way more fun and less arcadey then with dampeners constantly on. But you have no clear idea where you are going and doing corrections are guestimates at best as nothing in the games helps you with this. It is by design to reliant on the dampener system and there is currently nothing that incentivizes not using it.
Dampener system could use a complete overhaul in an "advanced mode" survival to make its use more punishable, but that is better saved for another feedback topic.
I like this feedback
