This part of the software is used by the pilot to navigate within the solar system. For the sack of simplification, both of the software and of the piloting techniques, the universe is simulated as a two dimensional plane with most objects being perfect circles or a cluster of such. However, the program is based on real astronomical physics and simulates many functions of a real spaceship. It has received a major overhaul in 2006-07 to add the effects of radiation, atmosphere and fuel.
