    Is there a command like this? If not it would be very nice to have.

    I have an orbital base design with surface areas that promote the placement of solar panels on top of the base. So I place the base in orbit so the top will face the sun. This often results in a "sideways" base.

    If I pull up to the base with a CV aligned to the orbit gravity, the two grav generators will compete with one another. It also makes landing on the base a little more manual because I can't use the "O" key to auto-align for the landing pads.

    What I might suggest is that if you are within "Station Services" range of a base, the grav field orientation of the base takes precedence and if you are in a CV or SV, the "O" key at that point would align your ship to the base.
