Hweiii Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) In KSP 1 aside from the initial launch, docking and landing you spend most of your time flying the craft in map view. It would be a shame for the developers to beautifully shade, light and texture the spacecraft parts just so we can spend 90% of our time not looking at them. This is a difficult problem to solve as it objectively is easier to fly the craft in map view. Maybe you could add a small orthographic top down view of your orbit around the planet, you could use this for simple stuff such as circularizing your orbit, and you can use the map view for setting up more complex maneuvers such as rendezvous. It would also be cool to have a cinematic camera that automatically chooses good camera angles so that both your spacecraft and the planetary body you're orbiting are in view. It would also be cool to be able to plot the whole course and maneuvers for the spacecraft before the launch so you don't have to fiddle with maneuver nodes mid flight, you just fly the spacecraft according to premade maneuver nodes.

But that's part of the fun of playing the game. Some stock form of Mechjeb will likely be implemented though, for high-speed trajectories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) This suggestion for the game's development has been moved to Suggestions & Development. And has now been moved back because I realized it was in the right place to begin with. Sorry, I don't sleep well in hot weather and it's making me dopey.
