7 years ago Anything that can be described as "different guidance constraint" is a tough task, on the edge of practical possibility*. PEGAS uses a guidance algorithm (UPFG) that was developed for certain objectives and assumptions. Math was laid out for those objectives, and then optimized and made into a program. At the heart, PEGAS is just a port of this program - from block diagrams to MATLAB to kOS - and a bridge between the KSP infrastructure and guidance. Stuff more related to KSP side is easier to change, while things deeply touching the guidance itself - near impossible. Math at the core is way beyond what I can work with, so major changes to UPFG itself are not possible.
I could think about it and try to fiddle around in MATLAB, as maybe it is a matter of one clever hack to the corrector, but it might very well turn out to be practically impossible*.
* - by "practically possible" I mean "possible to be done by me in the amount of free time that I usually have".
Do you plan to add this in the future?
It would be useful in cases where you'd like to launch directly to a transfer orbit, mostly because engines in RO usually have limited ignitions while some of them have only 1, so launching to a parking orbit and then re-igniting for transfer orbit can sometimes be a problem.
