I am not sure if this is a bug, but it seems kinda stupid. If you see an orbit ring, why would your ship not follow it? I don’t like seeing a ring that means nothing.

Based on where I am in space, the red circle is what my “orbit” really is.

I remember a time when your ship pretty much tried to follow the ring created. Anymore these days, I end up with weird ■■■■ like this. Sure, I’m 30K from the WH, but I’m technically not in a 30K orbit. It’s more like one of those polar “orbits” than anything.
