<t>Wow I assumed this to be a simple request, but it turns out to be a PhD thesis. But it has to be said it would be kinda useful. As would an indicator on screen of one's predicted trajectory, so that one could see when one is going slow enough to be gravitationally captured, which would save a ...

Thanks for the reply. However I was hoping for a simple equation that would give a deceleration point by feeding in acceleration of the spacecraft, and the gravity of the Earth and Moon. How does one determine the direction of rotation of a star when performing a sling shot?

The devs of Paragon are using open source Pioneer code, does that mean that you can use their code?

Surely there is a more scientific method than suck it and see?

I tried flying to the moon as quickly as possible, so I accelerated up to the halfway point, then flipped and decelerated. Problem is I either splashed into the moon or sailed past it, despite working a 10% error into the halfway point. So how do I calculate the 'halfway' point? Thanks. 

Rather than just have a reticle showing our direction , can you include the option for a path predictor line? It's already in one of the map modes, so it shouldn't be too hard. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure something is wrong, I took off, using computer control nudged myself down to about 2 meters, then switched to manual and crashed.

How do I land? I've tried thrusters but I always seem to hit too hard? Also how do I fire my engines in manual mode? Thanks.

How do I do a hyperspace jump? I can't find a jump key, or jump gate. Thanks.
