Anyone else notice this?

New in .20. Not sure what use it is unless you put your command module on backward.

So you know which way to turn to get to the regular blue icon. If you have a slow truning ship, this can come in quite handy.

Its there so you can easily find the real prograde marker. If it isn't on your side of the navball and the node is coming up fast, you want to make sure you are turning the right way.

I suppose it can come in handy if you're a bit heavy on the power lever when executing a node and over shoot it, You could always quickly turn retro-node and bring it back in line.

If you overshoot, the node marker automatically moves to the other side. It's not static, that's why it usually goes crazy near the end of a burn.

I've had to make a few burns when the engine was pointing in the opposite direction of the command part. The retrograde maneuver marker is incredibly useful for these. I would love for it to be on the regular nav-ball, but I can see how that might be confusing;)
