Goal
Add mission-based target dV presets to Simulation Conditions.
The first public feedback suggested that the chart would be easier to use if common mission profiles provided rough target dV values. This should be a lightweight helper for the existing Target dV control, not a full chart preset.
Presets
- LEO Defense / non-Earth orbit — 2 km/s
- MEO to LEO — 4 km/s
- All Earth Defense — 8 km/s
- Deceleration Burn Intercept — 20 km/s
- Asteroid Assault — 30 km/s
- Jupiter Assault — 50 km/s
- Fast Asteroid Assault — 150 km/s
- Kuiper Belt Assault — 200 km/s
- Fast Kuiper Belt — 500 km/s
Suggested implementation
Add a Mission dV preset select under the existing Target dV control in Simulation Conditions.
Selecting a mission preset should:
- update
state.targetDvKps
- update both Target dV range and number inputs
- re-render the chart
- leave dry mass, radiator, filters, selected metric, power view, module effects, and ship design assumptions unchanged
Manual Target dV edits should:
- keep working as before
- set the mission preset select to
Custom when the current value does not exactly match a preset
- select the matching mission preset when the current value exactly matches one
Non-goals
- Do not create full chart presets for each mission.
- Do not overwrite dry mass, radiator, filters, categories, families, or ship design assumptions.
- Do not infer travel-time-optimal trajectories; these are rough gameplay presets only.
