Hello, and thank you for trying out the game!

About multiplayer, at the moment we're sticking to the idea of "parallel universes". Basically, everyone normally plays in the "main" universe, where time doesn't accelerate, just matches real time. But when a player wants to warp, they are put in a copy "shadow" universe, with their spacecraft only (or a willing friendly spacecraft). Time there can accelerate at any rate, but spacecraft and bodies still move along realistic orbital mechanics, and on-board consumables are still consumed as function of the elapsed time. Once the player exits the "shadow" universe, they'll be reconciled back to the "main" one, i.e their spacecraft position relative to the orbited body will be the same as in the "shadow". From other players' perspective, it'll be as if they just popped out from one place and reappeared in another. This mechanic is not implemented yet though, and will come in future versions.

We're aware of the difficulty to plan complex maneuvers from the in-game cockpit UI, so there's a more KSP-like map view, that you can toggle via M key. But if you use the Orbit tab on the MFD, you'll see a lot of useful stats that'll allow you to perform precise rendezvous maneuvers. Just make sure to select the rendezvous target in the Map tab.
