There have been a few exciting additions to consoles in the last couple of weeks, including updates resulting from crew feedback during tactical simulations and the first science console panel.

Anyone who's tried to navigate a course with more than a few coursepoints will probably remember having to juggle a tablet with the course points on it. Not anymore! A new panel has been added to the helm to make impulse navigation much easier.
The Impulse Navigation panel assists with the navigation of pre-plotted courses during impulse operations.
The panel consists of a scrollable list of course points and a 2D impulse map displaying the location of the course points, Astronomical Objects (AOs) and the vessel.
This console provides firing solution calculators that allow operators to analyse the optimal conditions for torpedo launch and allows torpedo search parameters to be configured.
The EMDAR console allows the tactical team to analyse and manage data from the vessel's EM detection arrays, which provides data to identify and locate other vessels in surrounding space.
The console is made up of two panels. One provides displays sensor data, while the other allows users to manage the interpretation of that data (in the form of identifying 'contacts').
This panel works in conjunction with TL-EMD01. It is dominated by the Contact Board module (in active mode), which allows users to add and manage EMDAR contacts.
