Field notes
The control guide explains how to read prograde and retrograde markers, target markers, and the dashed path a ship follows if it stops burning. It also distinguishes red zones that keep ships out from amber zones that block ships, cargo, and spent stages. Gyro assist is presented as a tradeoff: it stops spin automatically but limits a run to two stars.
