A Beginners Question From An Old Guy Who Really Should Know The Answer


Recommended Posts

I've been playing KSP for years, and while I'm no Scott Manley, I do pull off most of my missions as long as they don't include getting into orbit from Eve - but we'll leave that one for another day.

I have a very simple question concerning burning manoeuvres.  So I set up a manoeuvre node but notice it's gonna take a long, long time to complete.  I know it makes sense to complete such a manoeuvre over two, three or even more burns, but what I'm not sure of is do you delete the old node for a new one between each burn?

My head says yes, after all while your spacecraft is doing its circuit back to the Pe. the target is moving along its own trajectory too.  However I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, so maybe someone could clarify it for me?

Thanks everyone.
