When hovering the mouse over an orbiting object, the current altitude and speed are shown. I think it would be useful if some additional information were shown, e.g., current angular velocity and duration of a full orbit. That might help with approach manoeuvres for a rendezvous. Also, if several orbital reference points (apo/periapsis, intersections) are close to each over, the mouse-over texts of them are printed in the same place, making them hard to read. For orbiting objects, they are printed beneath each other, like a list. I think that would be nice for the reference points, too.

Thanks. That seems to be what I've been looking for. This thread is obsolete.

Many of the science report texts are pretty good (=funny), but there are also a lot of generic ones. Maybe the player community can come up with a few suggestions? My humble start: Mystery Goo from Tracking Station Dish South: "The goo seems to be looking in the direction in which the tracking dish points." Mystery Goo from Tracking Station Dish North: "The goo likes this tracking dish better than the other one." Mystery Goo from Tracking Station Dish North: "The goo wonders why you need three identical tracking dishes."

In the VAB, the center of mass and the center of thrust (with thrust vector) can be displayed, but there is no easy way, as far as I can tell, to display the resulting torque, other than trying to match up COM and COT visually and trying to guess the resulting torque. It would be nice if, when both COM and COT are toggled on, the torque vector relative to COM were displayed.
