Hello,
    Let me take a shot at explaining degrees. Think of it like this, your 
ship starts out in the center of a circle. Now that circle is divided both 
horizontally and vertically in the center so you have four areas of it, your 
centerpoint is the place where those two lines come together. Now there are 
360 degrees in that circle and they're in little ticks around it. Ok, your 
in the center, ahead of you is zero, to the right is 90, behind you is 180 
and to the left is 270. Another way to think of this and tom correct me if 
i've got this map wrong is federation space is in this circle to the lower 
left 180 to 270 from you, cardassian space is 270 to 360, which puts it 
right above federation space. Klingon space is to the right of that, 0 to 
90, and romulan territory is under that, 90 to 180. Now say you wanted to 
move to klingon space, assuming my approximation of all this is right 
anywhere from 0 to 90 and you'd hit klingon space, so i'll be conservative 
and say you set out from the centerpoint of this circle, note in stfc your 
not in the center your in federation space, on a course of 045, and you hit 
contact with a klingon warship. He decloaks and attacks you from say let's 
make this simple and say 075 that means he's 30 degrees to the right of your 
ship firing at you.
    I hope i didn't just massively confuse someone and sorry for my bad 
descriptors and it's really hard to see this in my head and describe it 
without something to track on.
HTH
Dave.
