    If I approach a disabled vessel, or an active base, I really need a way to align my craft to the orientation of that vessel.

    If you use the "O" key, you can align your craft to the planetary gravity field. I was playing on a server and someone told me they could align to my (tilted space station) by tapping the "O" key twice? Whenever I try this, it doesn't seem to work.

    Problem I have is I may want to tilt my space station for better positioning. It's also possible I may have deployed a station and not remembered to press "O" first and it ends up tilted. If I approach a station with my CV and they have competing non-aligned gravity fields, I end up with some horrible combination of diagonal gravity that is just aggravating. Also annoying trying to land a SV on an orbital base that is tilted. I can't use the "O" key as a quick way to align to docking ports for landing.

    Is there any way to use the "O" key (or any other hotkey) to "Align to Target" gravity field or orientation?

    Wow. Seems like a pretty significant miss then.
