Encounter/ru
Встреча (англ. "encounter") occurs when the projected flightpath of a космического аппарата intersects the сферу гравитационного влияния, представляющего собой гравитационное поле небесного тела. Встреча отображается в Общем обзоре карты by an encounter node and a colorized trajectory path.
Upon arrival at an encounter node, the game switches the orbital reference of the craft to that of the encountered celestial body; an ideal moment to plan maneuvers to stabilize into an orbit. Orbits can be disturbed when time-warping across sphere of influence changes. To maintain a carefully planned orbit, the time warp should be slowed down to 1× as the ship approaches the sphere of influence change.
Encounters are essential for all Munar and interplanetary travels. And to get back home.
