KSP - Building a Station around a Magic Asteroid!

[@kaiprzadka6896]

@@dannycnoble You should consider rebuilding the Rocket then and make it a bit more stable

[@puiu102006]

[@randomaccountoffreedomacco6401]

i still take a hella long time to dock but ive increased effiecenty instead of having to turn basicly the entire thing with 2 GAINT engines on the sides

[@rojamb2012]

How about bringing it down to Kerbin then relaunching the asteroid back into orbit?

You can make crew go on EVA and then smack them on the full speed against that corner, so it will push those parts to each other. That would be very Kerbal way of solving issues.

I learned docking through the stock in game training lesson, it was more than enough to get the basics. From there, just training

[@sethpurifoy6025]

Yeah, many people I've met seem to refuse to do any of the lessons, saying, "I'll just wing it," or, "I can figure it out myself." But they're really useful, and can teach you everything you need to know to get started.

[@djole94hns]

Seth Purifoy I tried to wing it for like 30 minutes before doing it the way Squad intended to. And I'm experienced in flight sims. Refusal to do tutorials is just basic "muh gaming pride" thing. Like it's somehow a shame to learn something before going head first.

IDEA: Have multiplayer on KSP, Build you crafts with Friends! NOW WERE TALKING EASIER GROUP BUILDS!

[@AmedeeVanGasse]

You can't make a "circular" (or in this case square) docking because each craft in KSP is internally represented as a tree of parts. Each part can have 'branches' and 'leaves'. There is always one root of part which does not and cannot have a parent.

[@jamteam290]

Matt Lowe: I never make mistakes Time stamp 15:41 :am I a joke to you? 16:29 :same words, already said.

[@Power5]

Awesome. really cool work you always do. If you put 2 of the parallel stations on top or bottom of the other 2 docking ports you could remove some of that gap between the asteroid and the station. Not sure if that makes sense to others. Sort of like a square stack of logs you would make for a fire pit. So if the length of the station is in the X axis and the other length of the station is the Y axis, the docking ports would attach on the Z axis. Whatever, still awesome work.

[@shaibaer]

7:12 I wish that was what they did with me, but no, I had to get 55 allergens tested in a huge grid on my back. then the next day, the doctors realized that they had forgotten 3 allergens so I had to go back and get those done. And people wonder why I don't like needles.

[@bingewatch8002]

19:46 Those were Droid control ships. One of which included the Luchrehulk. They are also battleships.

[@o0alessandro0o]

Docking is much easier if you place your RCS properly and dock north-to-south instead of trying to match whatever random alignment your craft and station are in.. There may be a way to get a perfect ring built in orbit, but you probably have to send it up one quarter at a time if you want to keep it stock, and you ned two docking ports on each end to guarantee alignment.
