Maneuver nodes for orbit insertion burn?

[mrclucks]

because routine burns like that are boring and take too much unnecessary fiddling with both placement and how much Dv to use.  i can just make mechjeb do that burn and save literally minutes of my life. more complex maneuvers will be created by me and usually executed by me as well.   its kind of like cruise control, yes i know how to keep my car going at a certain speed but if i use cruise control then i can let my foot relax, know that i'll be going at the speed i want, and just focus on the steering.

MJ does it for me.

Typically I would add the node for orbit insertion when launching a probe core or probe core + non-pilot/rescue kerbal so the burn could get done even if connection is lost midway through the burn. If using a probe core typically this would mean the engine would stop once connection is lost and therefore crash and burn otherwise

I do it so I can let MechJeb (or a kOS script I wrote) handle the burn. Routine burns like circularization at apoapsis are utterly uninteresting to me, so I just let an autopilot handle that for me.

but do you have your KOS script make the node lol.

Guys, necroing threads with relevant comments isn't against the rules, but complaining about it is.  Some posts have been removed.
