You shouldn't read more into the advantage that is actually stated.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: 3D Spatial Sense/Absolute Direction
The text is clear: you always know where north is. Arguably you need 3D Spatial Sense for a Dyson Sphere, but...

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: 3D Spatial Sense/Absolute Direction
So it does. That's odd and makes most realistic write ups of absolute direction incompatible with Absolute Direction.

(In practice I'd probably use Absolute Direction list price for 'perfect inertial navigation', but in exotic situations that's distinctly not as good as RAW.)

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: 3D Spatial Sense/Absolute Direction
I am asking whether the fact that a bonus is being granted should be factored into the cost of the Advantage or viewed as a part of the Skill. There are a lot of Advantages built so that is does, but others don't. It might be because the bonus isn't quite as "concrete" for some things versus others. This is why I question whether or not it is worth charging points for such bonuses; if you tell me you're going to be preparing food at a level that calls for at least one Cooking roll... doesn't it make sense that Absolute Timing would give an advantage? Where does one draw the line?
