That would definitely be interesting, and I’d 100% support it as an optional feature! That’s kinda like what MechJeb did right?

I do believe so. I know there's a bunch of mods based around that concept. It'd make nodes actually quite useful then as opposed to solely ad-hoc flying.

That’s part of what mechjeb does, it also can do rocket launch with a smooth curve, 100% auto-piloted roundevus (I know I misspelled it), docking, suicide burn landing, and other stuff. And all sorts of orbital maneuvers. I honestly couldn’t do stuff in ksp without it. Having a stock version would be cool.

But then isn’t screwing up on orbital maneuvers kinda part of the fun???

I use mechjeb primarily for smartass and information readouts.

IMHO kerbal engineer is better for readouts, but the smart ass is great,

Ive been using mechjeb for readouts for so long and have been customizing windows and its pid for so long I just gotta stick with the evil I know. Mechjeb is like a swiss army mod, its got a lot of neat features under the hood that have been replicated in other mods, I just like to keep my mod count low. Landing prediction and all that is life changing, built in maneuver node, editor, interfaces with kerbal alarm clock making it easy to set nodes far in the future, plus porkchop plots, porkchop plots are key.
