[SUGGESTION] Visibly Differentiate Orbit Lines (front vs rear)

[evanevery]

It would be very nice if we had some visual way to determine if that station on a planet's orbit ring was on the front side of the orbit or the back. This becomes easier to visualize as we get closer to the planets but it would be nice if we could distinguish this a ways out. Right now its hard to tell, from a distance, if we need to loop around a planet or not. Changing the color of the orbit lines, the line type (dashed, etc), or the line weight all might be a helpful way to do this...

Thanks for Listening!

In general this would be nice for us Explorers too as we set about traversing a system for the most efficient mapping run. Make the front slightly brighter/thicker etc.

While we're at it, add an option to NOT fade out the orbit lines as we slow down. And fix the issue where binary planets don't have an orbit-line at all around their primary.

Like it, even if there was a fattening of the line if that is the closer part of the orbit, so you know if you have to circumnavigate the planet or not!
