It's too detailed for the discussion at hand, but I was wondering if it
would be practical to use several systems. For interstellar travel, use
galactic coordinates. For in-system travel, use solar coordinates. On a
planet's surface, use the local latitude/longitude. Basically, use the
nearest large gravity well as a reference point. ;)
