I just auto strut to the heaviest part, never had an issue with that.

No hidden docking port, it's all for show to make it look like the Mercury is attaching to the lab. And it's the adapter, hinge, hinge, and then the lab. In the VAB, I have to move everything around so it looks stacked. Autostrut is your friend.

Porthole mercury is best for the mercury lab!

2020 in a nutshell!

My turn:

I just got a white background and I'm loving the results! GM Cannon and 2 regular GM's ready to kick butt! Optimus Prime ready to protect our galaxies!

Decided to experiment and create Mercury 2 rendezvous vehicle.

Screenshot tax. Things are looking colorful!

I then saw those gold thingies on Gemini VII, and began a 30 minute google search to find out what they were. To sum up the document, they are radiometry experiments to measure the wavelengths coming off of various things while in orbit, like clouds for instance. I'm not entirely sure what the results suggest or what other experiments occurred because of these results, so hopefully someone else can fill us in?

I think I have a request but I have to check my list, one sec. Gemini retro pack and service module... hmm, that's in processing now, so will just wait. Mercury... nope that's already being tested. Apollo stuff... oh this is old, I can check this off, I like what we have currently. Uh.. Voskhod... what is that? I'll just cross that out. Welp, looks like everything on my wish list is either in processing or we have pretty good stuff in the mod already. Voskhod sounds like some made up Soviet thing, not sure why I wrote it down.

Actually we do: Q: Will existing mods will be supported? A: Existing Mods will not be compatible on Kerbal Space Program 2.

They've said there won't be compatibility.

What parts are you using for the docking port?

Oh wow xD Hmm, if you're interested in the Mercury Agena project, then that must mean there's more info on it besides a couple of drawings and a Wired article! Could you share your sources with us? And I kept experimenting with the design. I changed the tube to a structural tube from BDB, added RCS thrusters and some extra monoprop, and then added tiny docking ports. The tube I was using before must have been a heavy beast (Jeb stored all his waist lead in it >:() The BDB T.U.B.E.tm is much lighter and I can probably switch to the Agena A tank size, but I never got around to that. The Agena station maneuvers to dock with the Mercury, which means a real world counterpart would have needed automatic docking, which I don't think America had in the 60's, but I'd need confirmation/correction on that from someone. I then fiddled with the design and put the Mercury docking port on the side of the Mercury capsule. This setup makes more sense/doesn't cover up the periscope. The main problem now is that the Mercury docking port is uncovered during ascent.

Super Mercury: Required an extended atlas with 4 solids. Jeb says the solids have quite the kick! Bonus: ACTIVATE AT FIELD

When you click development, make sure you have the Dev branch selected before click the clone/download button. I had an issue where github gave me the main branch instead of the dev branch and I didn't notice xD

Are you aware of the Dev builds? It's separate from the main build on github.

Landing bag confirmed! So after Mercury, are you planning on... eating a delicious steak? Filet mignon?

+1000 internet points.

You don't have to update, you know? You can have more than one KSP on your computer. Even if you use Steam.

Generally speaking, if you installed with CKAN, go to the CKAN thread. I'd advise you install manually, which is veeeery simple. And then you can install the developmental builds currently going on and check out all the cool probes and early rockets! Perhaps even help catch bugs

You know, that film return can would make a pretty cool probe...

JNSQ is the best bet

I decided I wanted a rover. Not just any rover, but a big boy rover. And after nearly having a heart attack from stuff falling over, we got one! Yes, there are RCS thrusters on the bottom to make it float.

Adventures of Munlab continue. Munlab Cargo bot successfully landed. Next, Munlab Mission 1. 2 Kerbals go up to Mun, land on Mun, then eat space cheese in Munlab.
