LOL a space boat! I think most peeps assume that a space fleet would use Naval terminology for a lot of stuff; fore, aft, port, starboard, keel haul the bastard, and so-on.

Seriously, Starboard is right side, which makes sense in a game about right and wrong. That will likely not translate well into other languages!

The easy way to remember which is which? Port has 4 letters, and left has 4 letters. They are the same side, port = left. The 'other' side has more than 4 letters, whether you are talking about ships or whatever.

And can I get a glass of Port in the Starboard lounge?

Strolling by an seeing the lights on , i enter to drop off a batch of moonshine i just stilled , and over hearing the compass discussions .... and I thought you don't see that the arch magnetic collider field ... sets up the north / south direction as the magnetic field circles around the arch and centers in the middle and while facing in the direction that the magnetic field enters the arch ( that's North ) then west is all ways left . Your guys are drinking to much ... enjoy the new batch of Moonshine its peach.

**hands you a whisky and a conundrum**

If the bow is straight up, the stern is straight down, and there is no top or bottom to the ship, which side of the compass points toward the starboard?

I was strolling on by, so I decided to walk in and see what's up....

Can I get a drink or appetizer or something?
