Hey guys,

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a Ko-Fi or GitHub Sponsor link anywhere so I couldn't thank you via a donation message, but I just wanted to write something to express my gratitude for you having made and released this mod.

I was getting really bummed-out playing KSP2, because I find reading guides and delicately tweaking manoeuvre nodes for even simple Hohmann Transfers to celestial bodies orbiting Kerbin to be incredibly tedious and frustrating.

In KSP1, I'd used the MechJeb mod. But I felt such a huge disconnect from what was actually happening in the game, which wasn't fully realised until I came across this mod.

Now I'm gradually building up a satellite network across multiple planets in the Kerbolar system and have even recently completed a two-way manned mission to the Mun (something I'd never accomplished before!). I feel much more connected to what's happening in the game thanks to your mod, and am actually able to make progress.

What I really like especially about your mod is that you provide hints as to what needs to be done to accomplish the selected goal. For example, I needed to redock with my mothership to return from the Mun. Having never done an orbital rendezvous before, I didn't really know where to begin. So those hint messages gently letting me know what the next steps were and where I might have gone wrong were invaluable.

Anyway, I'll wrap it up by just saying thanks again, and I hope that you continue to support this mod well into the future. Take care!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad this mod is helping you to get more out of the game, and I especially like that it's helped you feel a better connection to the orbital mechanics and maneuvers part.

I just said something similar to the author of K2-D2 on Discord! Flight Plan and K2-D2 let me focus on the parts I enjoy about the game (designing rockets and planning missions) without having to pilot them myself, consequently inefficiently using up all my dV and crashing back to Kerbin Science-less.

I'm grateful the community has members like you guys making this game extremely playable for those like me even at this early stage. ❤️ 🚀

Thanks! It's wonderful to hear from actual users who are enjoying our mods, and especially about how they enhance your fun in the game. For me, I found MechJeb's maneuver planning capabilities a great way to learn more about orbital mechanics and focus on the mission planning aspects.
