I am very bad at orbital maneuvers. Is there any way to learn this?
Hi! Thanks for playing. I had intended to make an orbital mechanics tutorial cart, but ended up scrapping the idea. I suggest you do some trial and error. Try only accelerating perpendicular to the star. If you accelerate forward, the opposite side of your orbit will expand, and vice-versa. Being closer to the star means moving faster, so if you want to catch up to a planet, reduce your orbital distance by slowing down. It's unintuitive to slow down in order to eventually speed up, but that's how it works. Good luck!
