16Braking Point System

Braking Point System is a crucial component for flying between planets. Since the most efficient way to travel is to accelerate for the first half of the journey and decelerate for the second half, the system tells you the exact moment when you should start slowing down. Plug in an Accelerometer, Velocity Meter, and a Long Range Distance Meter aimed at the destination planet and watch the indicator as it moves - green area means it is safe to keep accelerating, while red area means you will probably crash if you continue at the current speed and acceleration or deceleration.
