Add 3/4 circle detection for better alignment; also add time parsing to allow throttle cut at the right time

Sometimes the 20 seconds at 50% throttle is not enough to get past the biggest stars, and the ship overheats while charging for the next jump, causing a bit of module damage.

The easiest fix for this is probably to not complete the "scoop" mode until the scooping status display disappears (instead of the 5 second timer at full throttle it has now)

Hahaha so I must have been dict ed on the last trip because my ship was at 41%.. but it survived, it must have jumped. The jump count was off by 1 too, the dict must have started after the charge.

Such a stupid mechanic.

Anyway, there are a few possible solutions here, which all rely on being able to detect a dict:

1. kill process (very safe)
2. only point at the destination at the last second (antialign before aligning, after charge starts?) -- doesn't help with cruise dicts
3. handle it properly, by dropping mines?
4. boost + jump immediately?

Jump time is so variable now that a timed wait is no longer satisfactory.

Write a queue system that allows thread-safe queueing up of actions (and clearing the queue etc).

There should be a "wait" action, a "jump" action, etc.

This will allow a refactoring to clean up Pilot.cs

Constantly pressing "X" locks up the UI until the window is moved. Add a timer and just press it once.

Green highlight for buttons to indicate what modes are active

Full throttle if time_remaining > 6s, 3/4 otherwise...

Separate out another button for Align hold

Algorithm (starts when target indicator is visible inside blue circles)

1. Throttle: ETA<6s: Throttle: 0; ETA 6-7s: throttle:50; ETA > 7s: throttle: 100
2. While target obscured / too close to boundary, pitch away from blue circles centre for 5 seconds at full throttle, then realign to target
3. While blue circles visible, pitch to edge of window such that target moves towards 2/3 blue circle radius -- rotate ship so that big rock is down
4. Point above target by 50px / 0.1 compass.

See if the detection still works in VR. Would be really cool to have the control panel an in-world window!

Press "G" when the blue text is detected, boost, cut throttle, request docking. If the player has a docking computer this will make the whole trip completely automatic.

For scooping and throttle control it would be good to be able to recognize numbers on the screen
