+-   **On the Astral Plane**: Can "see" astral currents, as well as sense the general direction to the shortest path to any location in multiverse (which appears as a faint, golden glow on the horizon).
+
+-   **While Piloting an Astral Console**: Can perceive a 360 degree "tactical" view of the ship, up to 300 yards out, as well as the "optimal" current to ride to reach their desired destination (which itself glows like a beacon).
+
+-   Serves the same function as a navigator on an astral vessel.
+
+<!--
+* If the desired location is within (1? 2? 4?) hours of travel, the pilot can "reach out" and see it in a similar "tactical" view.
+    * This view can also be used during combat, focusing on other ships
