Freefly

tldr: MechJeb is a tool and how you decide to utilize it to its maximum potential or abuse it as a crutch is independent of your competence and doesn't necessarily rob anyone of preferential fun that might unintentionally(?) come off as elitist. Horse already beaten to oblivion, but I'd like to add to the many testimonials here that MJ, not only a useful tool for precise data, also act as an educator for people who would prefer to imitate without having to go through what they perceive as pointless failures. Thanks to first MJ opening my eyes to possibilities and raising my curiosity and then Scott Manley and a few other tutorials I was on the fast track to managing a space program instead of needlessly killing Kerbals. Piloting skill is not completely dependent of flight knowledge. Being able to squeeze a plane under the KSP building walkways in IVA or right a self designed stock Soyuz via vernier thrusters doesn't grant you the knowledge of gravity turn efficiency. MechJeb doesn't either, to a degree, but it opens a window for a curious mind to peer through. Shortcuts aren't always bad and your preference for stumbling more for the truth is no better or worse than someone else's desire to stand on the shoulder of giants in order to speed up and obtain their own goals however it differs from yours. That's part of the beauty of KSP, you can go masochist and make it harder via FAR, kOS, RT, RSS, DRE, learn the intricacies and specifics for your custom design launcher/plane and maximize your dV to the T, or you can download a Lego-esque launcher system pre-built for a variety of missions on stock Kerbin and leave copious amount of debris all over the Kerbol system.

Reminds me a lot of the Ace Combat Strangereal map, imagine if we had good writers to fill this universe with its own lore!

Reading Chapter 8 as was playing in the background. Eleven minutes in, synched perfectly as I read that plaque in memory of the Odysseus.Amazing work so far!

Or the option to use custom made icons as well. Throw your icons in the textures folder and toolbar recognizes the resources. I use most of the mods that is integrated with this wonderful toolbar and it'd be nice to be able to put things like scene changer and multiple saves under a folder with a gear icon, AGM/Crew Manifest/Targetron etc under a folder with a management icon, anything you can think of. If an option like that were to be included, it might as well be made to be fully customizable unless resource consumption is a concern.

I can't count the amount of times I forget to turn TCA off on a heavy lifter. Surely the Michael Baying resulted from its oscillating destruction would bring joy to any self respecting Kerbal rocket scientist, the spectacular explosions eventually become insipid and frustrating... Of all the mods I've updated today, this one is the best because of the QoL "default off" option. Thank you.
