How often do you use Mechjeb?

[Grand Lander]

What the title says.

[trollmylove]

fairly often. mainly when testing interplanetary craft and probes.

[maple51]

Most of the time when flying spacecraft.

[Trebuchet-Launch]

Outside of challenges which don't require it, I prefer to use it. The orbital information alone makes it worthwhile, and SmartASS is extremely useful as well.

[Accelerando]

I use the autopilot features for routine launches, the Surface and Orbital information panels for flights beyond Kerbin, and the Circularization feature a fair bit. It's helped me learn how to bring my apoapsis/periapsis closer to or further from my ship, and the Orbital panel helps me a lot in bringing my orbital inclination to 0º.

[AD-Edge]

Never, I enjoy the challenge of learning all of this stuff by hand of through research - even if that means a bunch of frustrated/failed missions.

I know some people would consider MechJeb to be one way to learn, but it just wouldnt do it for me.

[Exclipse]

Have not downloaded it and I do not plan to. I have much more fun with the challenge of of doing everything manually.

[andywyndom]

Can't find link Search returns too many links, post it here. Would like to try it!! thanks!

[Arrowstar]

I use it for orbital information and pointing functionality (prograde, etc) only.

[vivere]

since 0.16 i use it all the time because of massive lags at start.

[wwilliam54]

After getting the the Mun and Minmus manually, I use it for almost every launch. I enjoy the building of the rockets more than the piloting.

[MaverickSawyer]

I use it when a stock ASAS is not enough to keep it on track, or for unwieldy launch vehicles. I also use it for pinpoint landings and orbital info.

[Whatshtisthis]

I use MechJeb when I test new rockets.

[Spaced_Out]

I have it on nearly every ship for the Smart A.S.S and orbital info, but I don't use the autopilots unless I'm too intoxicated to care or just putting up something that will be time consuming but not challenging.

[erkha343]

I use it at all times, except for spaceplane take off and landing. I use the information panels and the directional ones, prograde RAD+ and such, and the automated ones for small satellites and launches that aren't that important.

[6677]

I never touch mechjeb. The way I see it is that mechjeb is playing the game for you, all your doing is giving it a rocket and a set of orbital parameters for it to aim for, I don't want that. I want to be able to blame the fact I accidently knocked space a split second too early for the reason that my rocket failed to achieve orbit, or the fact that I was the one responsible for it being 5 degrees off etc.

[Cby]

When my rocket is too laggy

[Jon Tash]

I use it all the time because I like to have the panels with all the information with the orbits and stuff.

I landed on the Mun and Minmus without it when they got released and there wasn't any version of mechjeb.

Mechjeb is not just autopilot that play the game for you, you can use it just for the useful information that it gives you.

[JackAz]

I used it twice and not using it anymore. Won't tell why since i already wrote it on the "To mech jeb or not the Mech jeb" thread

[whatisthisidonteven]

I have it, but I don't use it at all. I used to use it for the orbital information display, but now I just use flight engineer for that. For me it takes away the fun of having mechjeb do it for you, even if it is a task such as keeping prograde.

[AlternNocturn]

I stopped relying on it when it caused most of my rocket designs to flip out during ascent. Now I occasionally add it for info and the Smart A.S.S. functions.

[djnekkid]

I think you might need to define "use", as I tend to use it more as a 'flight computer' giveing me more information on the 'flight screen', so I dont need to go to the mapscreen all the time to check AP and PE as much.

Surface/orbital/vessel information is almost always up, but as of late i've tried to actually utilize the tool to its fullest extend alot less, so what about a new option:

"Only as an flight information tool" or something along thoose lines

[ModernArc]

I know some people would consider MechJeb to be one way to learn, but it just wouldnt do it for me.

Same, I don't like playing when something is doing all the work for me. I think it ruins the fun a little.

[TheDarkStar]

It's been a while since I used MechJeb for piloting, and I landed on the moons on my own long before I used Mecheb.

[_Aramchek_]

I've never used it, and I do not plan on using it.
