Description

Cannot select as target any planet with intercept prediction by maneuver planner.

To replicate set up a ship ready to leave Kerbin orbit to intercept with another planet eg Duna or Jool. Attempt to select the target planet as the target, it will work just fine, deselect the target. Place maneuver node and plan intercept until the map shows an intercxept with the SOI. Then attempt to select the planet as a target, it will not show any options in map view whether you right click or left click on it. Change the maneuver so that the intercept does not occur and you can select the planet as a target again.

QED intercept prediction from maneuver planner prevents selecting as target.

History

#1 Updated by sl33k almost 11 years ago

this also happens when your ship is already intercepting with the Planet.

To Replicate just do an Interplanetary Transfer, quit KSP, select your ship via Tracking Station and try to select the planet you are intercepting with as a target.

Still applies v0.22

#3 Updated by Squelch over 8 years ago

  • Platform Win32 added
  • Platform deleted (Windows)

#4 Updated by Thrawcheld over 8 years ago

Confirmed in 1.0.5.1028.

Workaround: add a maneuver node that results in a trajectory that doesn't encounter the body you want to target. You can then target it (and delete the node afterwards). This still doesn't let you target the body whose SoI you're currently in.

Bugged save attached.

Closing this report out for now. If you find it is still occuring in the latest version of KSP please open a new report (and this one can be linked to it.) For best results, the wiki contains really useful info for when creating a report http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/wiki.
