I was thinking the same thing. The Apollo ADM port does it as well. You would know WAY more about it than I would. I'm not too experienced with coding but it makes sense why it would result in RUD.

I did a fresh download of the latest Tantares and it looks like the probe clips through the drogue port when it's extended. I tried it with both the habitat module and orbital module docking ports to be sure it wasn't just an issue with one port over the other, but it happens with both.

Cosmetically it wasn't removed, as in you can still extend and retract the probe, but it's functionality seems to have been altered so it clips through the drogue docking port instead of making "contact".

With all this talk about docking systems, it gets me thinking. Are there plans to re-implement the "soft docking" system that use to be on the probe docking ports? I would love to have that extra touch of realism again.

Have an interesting question that I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to. I've been attempting to create contracts that recreate the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Programs. Is it possible to create a parameter that requires a spacecraft to complete a specific number of orbits to fulfill the contract? While for certain missions it works to have a time duration parameter, I'd prefer to not have missions like "Friendship 7" be required to be in orbit for a specific amount of time, but rather a specific number of orbits. Is that possible to do with CC or is that too complex a parameter to record?
