    Any ship traveling towards another ship would have its nose pointed towards it.

    If both ships travel towards each other, their noses would be aligned, but their roll would likely be different.

    That’s a bit different from what’s being shown in the comic where ships seem to have any orientation, no matter the context.

    As for a galactic up/down, the galactic disc would be the obvious reference. That still leaves a 50/50 chance that two civilizations would choose the same direction as up.
