<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ Well, such problem can also exist. There are two problems in fact: 1) can't know the future "retrograde on red/pink" direction, 2) this direction can somewhat change if the approach is close and the burn is not very short
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ +during the burn
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ and "inertially fixed" is still a checkbox
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ It will fix the maneuver in ECI
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ not in red/pink frame
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ I’m not sure this discussion of the exact nature of the problems encountered when working around a missing feature is a good use of anyone’s time…
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ I'm not sure ksp is a good use of anyone's time, but here I am
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ And we don’t keep track of the target anywhere.
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ The target frame is always a bit messy. What happens when you unset the target, or change it?
<queqiao-> I guess the flight plan needs to remember the old target?
<queqiao-> What happens if the target vessel disappears? I guess we have a new flavour of anomalous manœuvre ?
