# Navigation

<figure><img src="/files/jTUIAEvsySAxf83YHlgs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Navigation** module allows the assigned station to fly the ship.  It consists of several parts:

## 1.  Sensors Screen

The sensors screen shows all the ships and other objects within sensor range.

Selecting an item will display additional information, including the object's name, classification, hull strength, and shield strength.

If the Sensors need [repairs](/infinity-command/crew-stations/repairs.md) or don't receive enough [power](/infinity-command/crew-stations/reactor.md), then the Sensor range will be limited.

## 2.  Digital Joystick for Steering

If your [Steering Input Method](https://infinity-command.gitbook.io/infinity-command/crew-stations/pages/qQWkN6PiLpx08GQhqdFE#id-2.-software-steering) is set to `Software`, then the Navigation module includes a digital joystick that allows the assigned crew member to steer the ship.

If your [Steering Input Method](https://infinity-command.gitbook.io/infinity-command/crew-stations/pages/qQWkN6PiLpx08GQhqdFE#id-1.-hardware-steering) is set to `Hardware`, then the digital joystick will be hidden and the crew member can use an attached controller to steer the ship.

## 3.  Throttle

This controls the ship's speed.

If the Engines need [repairs](/infinity-command/crew-stations/repairs.md) or don't receive enough [power](/infinity-command/crew-stations/reactor.md), then the max throttle speed will be limited.

## 4.  Buttons

1. **Guidance** — This helps direct the ship toward the selected object by creating a glowing path in space that leads the way there.
2. **Boost** — This activates a short speed boost to get the ship out of trouble quickly or reduce travel time.

<details>

<summary>The boost's speed multiplier and duration can be configured in your Ship's config file.</summary>

```
"Helm": {
		"BoostBonus": 1,
		"BoostDuration": 5
	},
```

</details>

3. **Reorient** — Sometimes it's easy to get twisted around in 3D space. The Reorient button automatically aligns the ship with the galactic horizon.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://infinity-command.gitbook.io/infinity-command/crew-stations/navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
