Yes, I did mean the side the wind is blowing against.

The rep is well deserved for all of your hard work and willingness to share.
Yep, the Bearing Template is just used to determine in which arc of the AI ship the player ship is. An imaginary line through opposite corners of the AI base can accomplish the same thing, but some folks like widgets.

I suppose a name other than Bearing Template would be better?
