What Happened​

When switching to the "Star" inertial reference frame on the navball the speed indicated doesn't change and the orbital speed around the parent body is used.

What Was Expected​

The description says that it's a star fixed frame. As such, I would expect that the velocity of the earth is also considered so instead of the 7.8 km/s it would be closer to 28 km/s (for the default earth orbit rocket start). The navball switches correctly to the star frame but not the speed indicator.

Reproduction Steps​

  1. Change the navball to the "Star" inertial reference frame
  2. Look at the speed
