Speed-matching cruise control
How hard would it be to make a speed-matching "cruise control" for following either prey or ships to escort at a constant distance? Really useful for following prey, particularly when your lasers are hot...

One thing you should be able to do is to add a way to say 'up a bit, down a bit... Ok perfect' to the HUD, just below the reticle, using a similar display method used by the bounty scanner...
And you can use ascii's 'graphics mode', like in the following examples:
a bit too slow...

way too fast...
