Is there a way to instantly put ships into orbit?

Want to put a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally big space station into orbit but don\'t know how.

Well, if you can answer that question, NASA has a job waiting for you. But seriously, I don\'t think there is a way to instantly put things into orbit without some kind of modding.

If you\'re using 0.14 or later, editing the SFS file (put the spacestation on the pad or runway, quicksave, change the parameters to that of an orbiting body, and quickload)

If you\'re using 0.13, you\'ll probably want this mod. Decouplers can be abused with interesting results.

So I looked into this yesterday while waiting for .16. I opened it up the sfs in a text editor and then copied the orbit details of one craft to the one on the pad and when I saved it and went to the tracking station in game, it had removed all of my ships. What paramaters are you supposed to be changing, and how do you do it?

You could try instant orbit. That\'s good.

Instant orbit is nice. just search for it in the search thingy cause it was released a while back. Or you can try the orbital construction plugin. Its more realistic in which you bring the ship parts up to a 'dock' part for storage. Then you build the ship with the parts in the dock and it appears next to it.
