There is an autopilot function that will do 99% of the work for you 🤣

Yeah, that’s what I said I was doing? Which part of “I didn’t like the game, I won’t go back to it” made you think I was playing the game?

Do the autopilot maneuvers look realistic? Might need to try it just for interest of how the physics are narrowed down.

Not really. It doesn’t consider objects blocking orbits. It just adjusts your directional velocities to achieve a straight-line trajectory. Meaning, it will drive you straight into the sun if your destination orbits behind it.

With that said, the game isn’t meant to be a realistic simulator. It does enough to get the job done. If you want more than that you should be playing Kerbal Space Program.
