- Use logarithmic scale in supercruise
- Use detailed icons rather than generics for all planets/stars.
- Remove the fixed planet/system scale and instead show a dynamic range based on a two minute time horizon at your current speed.

- Use the same logic as locationTargetting to not show bodies obscured by their parent.

- Added an extra bit of generation so that some rings will create a smaller ring interior to them which is richer in resources
- Fix strange AI behaviour when undocking, was caused by large ships not doing the initial simple lift from pad because they thought they were already far enough away
- AIs were waiting for permission to join the shared path 600m back from the door, which was sometimes further than the distance back to the pad, so were just waiting over the pad. Now wait 600m from the door or 100m less than the the path distance, whichever is smaller
