Rotate navball orientation?

[Jestersage]

One of the issues I have with the rovemate probe is that the orientation actually points up.

If I cannot rebuild the rover, are there other ways to orient it so that it face forward or backward?

None that I'm aware of. I usually end adding a small probe oriented in the direction of travel and controlling from there.

Stick a Clamp-O-Tron Jr. on the front, and "control from here" on it.

I actually think this has to be a bug, and that at some point someone at Squad will go 'wait a minute now...'; one would expect a probe that is clearly designed for rovers and to be placed in a specific orientation, would have the control/navball properly aligned for surface travel.

The obvious workaround would be to add an additional small probe core, or probably easier a surface-attachable Jr docking port, with the correct orientation 'forward', and either re-root to that, or in flight right click and select 'control from here'.
