Navigation Problems

One thing that narks me off with this game is the node system. Will we be getting a fix for this random node collapse, self deletion and general glitchyness. When I am trying to set up a burn it takes 10x the time it should take due to these problems. It would be nice to have a numeric system rather than this imprecise node dragging method. It's one reason why MechJeb is used so much I think.

Currently I'm trying to get to Duna again and for some reason the normal methods aren't working. I burn at the right time at the right ejection angle and still miss by 8 million metres. When I go to use the nodes to refine the course the intercept point bounces all over the place like it doesn't have a clue where I will end up.

I'm sure it will be fixed eventually (it needs to be), but in the meantime to prevent you from pulling out all your hair, I highly recommend the Maneuver Node Improvement mod.

I've seen a couple people mention this mod in YouTube videos, but they seem to have missed one of its most important features: Pressing the "o" key will open a maneuver node back up after it just collapsed.

And, I love the ease with which you can switch conic draw modes on the fly with this mod.

The Maneuver Node Improvement mod (mentioned above) and the Haystack mod (which helps you select the ship you WANT as your target) have saved me from lots of frustration.

Yes, I use Haystack after it was pointed out to me. Simple yet essential mod. And this node mod... AWESOME. Just what I was after.
