which way is north in space? by schneigl2006-11-19 12:55:59
  a more important and harder to answer question: by pSYCHOi3OY2003-12-19 12:30:04
    You don't. by subbywan2003-12-19 12:40:21
      Wouldn't it be Polar? by PathOGene2006-11-19 12:55:59
        But where to you define your zero-radius line? by subbywan2003-12-19 13:01:02
          GNP is already defined relative to our galaxy. by mwq2003-12-19 15:10:22
            Yep by PathOGene 2003-12-19 15:54:41
And since we're doing it, why not define the zero radius to be though the Sol System. So you have three terms: distance from galactic centre, angle ± in the galactic plane from reference line, angle ± out of the plane.

Note: ST used navigation references relative to the ship (like "turn 20° right") but planetary locations were absolute.
