So, in KSP 1 you can hit the little plus/minus signs on the manuever ball to basically add/remove orbits. If you didn't get an intercept on orbit one, you hit the plus and it draws orbit number 2 and so on. How come this isn't a thing, that I've found so far, in KSP2? Or if it is there, how do you use it?

its requested and being worked on

Oh. Well then. I'm guessing that for now we just fast forward the game, do an orbit and retry for now?

well, I suck at rendevous stuff. The way I've been doing it is that when I get to orbit, I try to make my manuever. If it doesn't line up, I speed up time to the next orbit and try again. Tedious, and I tend to get distracted by a small child and several cats.
As I said, I'm not very good at it lol

if you burn prograde at your vehicle's closest approach (1A) it will "slow down" your orbit relative to target, drag prograde indicator far enough and youll see it gives you a sub5km approach every time
then just kill momentum to target and burn towards target using RCS to keep your prograde indicator on target, youll either make impact or if you know what youre doing youll kill momentum before you do, then you can orient your craft and target craft to face docking ports and dock as normal
it isnt the most efficient but like, its fast, always get an approach in 1 orbit
if im working under tight margins i just wait in orbit til i have a better approach but im impatient so i overbuild my craft for this purpose usually
