been pondering something while traveling today: navigation markers in KSP... would people make use of them? I understand there is something of a instrument mod type thing but what of being able to place a marker like a flag but for navigation sorta thing?
<darsie>
I "cheated" a small ship in an orbit, planned the trip to Mars from there and then flew to that orbit to make it so.

Seemed like something we'd do irl.
<JVFoxy>
was thinking more ... ground based. although, space navigation buoys could be a thing too I suppose.
<JVFoxy>
what go me going on about things was having markers on the end of the runway to help with landing....
<darsie>
You could put rovers with lights there.
<darsie>
But the runway is lit at night, I think. Adn visible in daylight.
<JVFoxy>
nah.. don't need lights on markers.. just a little icon I can see
<JVFoxy>
a while back, I tested it out by putting a wheeled probe at 1km out from the end of the runway, and another at 2.5km out

JVFoxy, you mean Waypoint Manager?
<JVFoxy>
hmm...
<JVFoxy>
lordcirth I suppose... though I guess my idea was just places on surfaces. Something you'd have to go out, setup as a kerbal in EVA. Be it a beacon or full on nav facility.

waypoint manager.. just lets you put waypoints where ever with nothing? Just visible as a marker in flight or on map?

<Eddi|zuHause>
what happened to placing flags?
<Eddi|zuHause>
waypoint manager is effectively like mission target markers, something you do while planning a mission before going anywhere
<JVFoxy>
flags as waypoints are ok... though they'll be grouped in with other flags. I guess something of a different flavor. I mean.. suppose you could just setup everything digitally, not even having gone there. Even in midspace if you wanted.

lordcirth suppose.. but where's the fun of actually going out there, placing a marker. (or building a nav point) ;P
<JVFoxy>
er... weres the fun in just placing a point in a menu as opposed to actually going out there
<Eddi|zuHause>
i don't think that's the right question
<Eddi|zuHause>
where's the fun in playing a computer game as opposed to actually going out there?
<JVFoxy>
meh... people rather everything, right away, easiest way possible...
<JVFoxy>
no work involved..
