Request: More options for Maneuver Planner inclination changes

It'd be super handy if, when changing inclinations via the Maneuver Planner, the following were added as options for times:

  • At the point requiring the least Delta-V. (Or, simpler version, examining the requirements for creating at AN vs DN and choosing the cheaper of the two)
    • This should only consider places where the target inclination is actually possible to reach -- 0 degree inclination can only happen at AN/DN, for instance.
  • At the next ascending/descending node. (If the craft will pass AN before DN, choose AN; otherwise choose DN).
  • With new LAN
    • If I'm in an equatorial orbit and want an inclined orbit with a specific LAN (e.g. satellite contracts), burn normal at LAN or antinormal at LAN +/- 180. (Satellite contracts...)

I frequently end up creating the node at AN, deleting it, and recreating at DN to see which is cheaper. It's a bit easier now that I've added time to AN/DN to my orbital readout, but the added convenience would be nice.

"highest AN/DN" got added, as did burning to change LAN.
