I am quite new to this game and love it!
although getting a encounter with another body can be annoying, i think maybe you should be able to move manuver nodes in a orbit that have already been made and a way of finding when your manuver node is close to a planet/moon, this would help make getting a encounter for new players less annoying
possibly a similar system to ksp for the nodes or just something easier to use.
Also i would like to be able to time warp to a specific place in a orbit without having to make a manuver node.
PS. I know i have been spelling manuver wrong i apologise for that
oh ok i didn't know that.
Great idea tho!
