Create maneuver node at special point (AP/PE etc)

[SaturnV]

There should be a way to create maneuver node at AP/PE/AN/DN and any other special points.

I know there're few mods can do this, but I really think such feature should be included in the 1.0 release

Like this:

I'd be happy if they snapped to those points if close, with of course an override such as holding down ALT while placing or moving the node.

Yes. So much yes to this.

And while were at it, can we fix the maneuver node placement on interplanetary trajectories? (The bug, not the Space Center upgrade)

Mostly I ran into this issue when I botch a burn. The manuver waypoints ahead are now in diffrent place in gerads to the new special places. I think the logic is based that each node is a time offset from current position but I could find use for other locations such as a set radial spatial location or a as phase of the whole orbit.

Yes please!

Yes, this would really help. The only module that I still use a lot in MechJeb is the Maneuver Node Editor with its numerical fields and 'snap to' function. I think I can't really play without it.
