This repository contains a mod for Kerbal Space Program. Its goal is to create a stock-alike method for planning interplanetary transfers that preserves the flexibility and "learn by doing" approach of stock maneuver nodes.

See the README in the download for installation and usage instructions.

See the README in the Localization folder for instructions for adding or improving translations for languages other than English.

The latest version is available on Github.

1. Install mono
2. If you don't have Steam, make Source/KSP_Data a symbolic link to your game's KSP_Data folder
3. make

This was 5thHorseman/Superfluous J's idea:

• "Planning Nodes" outside of flight mode for interplanetary transfers
• I just want to be able to place "planning nodes" on planetary orbits
• a "Mission Planning Node" that works just like a maneuver node
• a planning node that works just like a maneuver node but is on planet and moon orbits instead of craft orbits
• You should be able to make "planning nodes"

Three years later I started promoting the same concept. I thought that I came up with it on my own, but it is possible that I saw some of the above posts at some point and they sank into my subconscious.

• If there was an obvious way to "switch to" a planet to plan maneuvers from it, transfer windows would become much more apparent
• 
• Imagine if you could go to map view and click a special new button to create a "meta maneuver node" on your parent body's orbit rather than on your own craft's orbit

I have a rule that if I catch myself pining for something on the forum multiple times, and no one else starts working on it, I have to; hence this mod.
