I think corrections after a burn and rendezvous are somehow the same

The flight plan can be seen as a perfectly maneuvered imaginary vessel. This vessel is always at where we should be. After an imperfect burn, we find ourselves not exactly there. In other words, our position and speed are different from the imaginary vessel. By doing corrections we go back to where we should be, or where the imaginary vessel is. We rendezvous with the imaginary vessel.

If we set the target to the imaginary vessel, then the relative speed will be the same with delta-v. The Target sign on the navball, however, does not have a stock-game analog, which is in fact very useful.
