Based on the recent changes to how large mass ships now enter warp, we are left with inaccurate representations of ship warp alignment, especially on ship undock or being bumped.
One possible idea is to use a transparent arrow as the direction needed for warp and then to use another transparent arrow to represent where the ships inertia (direction it is currently moving towards) is pulling it, once these two align with each other the ship is aligned for warp and all that is needed is 75% of max speed, which is already represented by the 2nd notch on the HUD speed display.
Most likely a timed rotation of ship would be needed to decently show alignment of ship.

I see this working best as some version of the old pre-Exodus spinning globe display from the bottom-right of the screen, that became the overlay. The ship model can do what it likes to get as close as possible to some kind of realism, but it'd be very useful to have an accurate visual display of the current velocity vector, and destination vector.
As it is atm, whatever tweaks are made to the way the model displays it's still a compromise between accurately depicting what your ship is actually doing in the game, and a fake realism imposed on top for the sake of visuals.

Ugh, one of those days, ty for reminding me.
BTW i also think that these 'alignment arrows' should appear when warp is requested, probably not something everyone wants to see and certainly should become a removable option for those with limited cpu/gpu power.

supported.
One addition i would like to make, if you highlight something in the overview, an arrow would pop up, so that it's not just for warping (i would use this in low sec to stop getting ganked by gate camps trying to get to my base)
EDIT: Forgot the support button...

This sounds like a great idea. Not only is it helpful like mentioned but I also think EVE's ship interface (what we spend 100% of our time looking at pretty much)is pretty much underpowered and for lack of a better term kind of lame. In other words it is not as realistic as a spaceship would be. A few extra gauges is what one would imagine would be present to a pilot. Now obviously the game doesn't call for much and one does not want to overclutter the screne as the overview does a great job but just adding something more like velocity/momentum etc like this would class it up a bit and add some realism imho.

Iam, for the love of god, crop that picture so it doesn't break my browser. Or better yet, stick it on Eve Files.

A direction crosshair in space was the way frontier/first enc did it and that worked very well.
I love the new look of powersliding my bs , but somesort of clearing indication of ship travel would be useful. using the dusts travels direction is a bit squint inducing.

Supported, although I think there should be an option to turn it on/off.

Good point, i also would imagine it only activates when warp selected.
