Time saver mode? (Suggestion)

[rottielover]

I know this is probably too radical to incorporate into the game, but I'll toss it out anyway.

I have a two year old and a 6 month old, a full time job, and a few other things going on. For me to sit down and get a solid two hours of playtime in a session is nothing shy of something wonderful.

My suggestion, have a mechanizim whereby you can proof a lifter design and payload combo and then be able to launch that into a parking orbit by a click.

For example, I have been trying to map every body in the system with mapsat and Kethane. Just the launching of my probes is taking a good chunk of time. Why not have a vehicle that if launched say, 5 times without incident, move that to a "auto launch" list ?

I love the game, I just don't have the time it takes (even with the time warp system) to get things done.

Another suggestion, if using say nuke or ion engines, allow a button that will complete your burn. I def don't have the time to sit and watch a 10-30 min burn go down.

Thanks for listening!

Btw if anyone here has some suggestions for speeding up some things let me know. I had to get mechjeb just so I could setup nodes and have the autopilot fly them while I go do something else.

Hyper Edit will let you poof anything anywhere...

I get the feeling, but the game's core objective isn't really that. That's why they left the game open for mods though. MEchJeb can do your launch for you, and HyperEdit can magically drop your things in space. But having them in the vanilla game would break the purpose of most things sadly.

Yeah I have to concur with these fine gentlemen.

Amazing game for making and flying rockets: 13.79 (on sale)

for everything else... there's mod support

[rottielover]

I take it Hyper Edit is either a mod or a method of modifying one of the save files?

It's a mod, it lets you basically teleport things wherever you want to, change your orbit, refill your resources, etc. It's useful as a testing tool.

I'll drop you the link I guess.

[Sir Nahme]

It is a mod, it is available on the spaceport, and it allows you to move pretty much anything anywhere

Yup its a plugin that will allow you to edit any orbit in game even right on the launch pad. You can even move planets and moons.

You can also edit orbits from ANYWHERE, such as the tracking station, you don't need to be ON that item.

Thanks. That tool is useful for testing. Going to save me a ton of time! (I can now test say my new mun rover, without the need to wait for it to be launched to the mun! Nice.

Once again thanks all

Just be sure to be in orbit of the body your landing on, I've made that mistake alot.
