Hi, I think the RE-12 'Skiff' Liquid Fuel Engine needs some tweaking. With the collection of new parts from the 'Making History Expansion', it seems obvious that most of these parts are there to make replicating historical rockets easily, namely the Saturn 5. This is easily one of my favorites so I wasted no time in building my own replica, which I have done many times throughout playing KSP. This part seems a good pick to simulate the J2 engines featured on the second and third stage of the rocket (at least aesthetically), but in KSP their function is just not right and don't fit with the parts associated with them. I have tried many different ways and either my second / third stages have lackluster TWR or burn for too long which ends up with a weird looking Saturn 5 in order to compensate. If this part was not intended at all for this then this is purely academic and disregard, but otherwise if this could be addressed in some way that would be great. I think an increase in thrust and a decrease in ISP values will solve this issue.

Does anyone know of a mod with a docking port that will mate with any size docking port? Either one-size-fits-all or adjustable on the fly in situ? I'm trying to reduce part count and trying to have one docking port of every size is frustrating. Is this possible to do with module manager? Following a suggestion I tried the following, but it disabled all of my docking ports. @PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleDockingNode]]:Final { @MODULE[ModuleDockingNode] { @nodeType = size0,size1,size2,size3 } }
