'Nudge' Manoeuvre Node Forward or Back


Recommended Posts

Whilst we can drag the maneuver node whilst setting it could we have an option to 'nudge' it forward or back in increments as well as whole orbits?

I am aware that the whole maneovrre planning thing needs something like we had in KSP1 , and this 'nudge' option wasn't there either. But it would be very handy as dragging with precision whilst looking at Ap and Pe values is a little tricky.

At the least we should be getting whole orbits. As for nudging it forward and backward, perhaps there'd be a way to have a slider pop up instead of the velocity sliders, that works similar to the velocity sliders and moves the node slightly forward and backward on the orbit. That would allow for much better burn timing precision without introducing buttons and numbers into the UI.

Edit: Just thought of another reason why this would be invaluable: The ability to tweak the burn timing of a node several orbits in the future, as dragging the node in KSP1 would always return it to the current orbit.
