So with VTOL and directional sensor, the TILT/Steer is a straight heading to (or away) from the target.
However, and especially with planets, terrain, (and racetracks) - this is far from being the optimal course.
This becomes especially relevant when trying to get to an objective the other side of the planet. In the real world, digging through the centre of the planet is about the least efficient way of getting from Switzerland to New Zealand.
So, in Nimbatus, the ability to switch between 'course' and 'heading' would be really useful. Course involves avoiding climbing out of gravity holes, tunnelling through terrain, etc. Otherwise, we have to build large drones just do deal with the course logic.
