Summary

Orbiting is an important maneuver during combat. Moreover, different ranges are usually required during a fight, as a ship carries different ammunition and primary weapons with differing optimal range. For example one orbit would be needed for close orbit, one outside of scram range and another at whatever range.

Currently, the single default orbit range has to be configured and reconfigured with the context menu in the overview. That takes a lot of time in combat situations. The existing presets are rarely matching the weapon requirement or personal taste.

Solution

Offer a few more 'default' orbit selections, which are configurable by the player, and - optimally - offer them in the ESC menu shortcut configuration to allow attributing a hotkey to each.
