How do you build a space station with a prebuilt docked ship?

[codewritten]

So I was making a Asteroid Capture Scientific Drone (ACSD) and I tried to put a lander on a docking port in the Spaceplane Hangar, but when I had it on another docking port (how It would look if it was docked in space), it wouldn't let me detach when I started flying, how do I make a predocked part of my craft that I can undock whilst in space?

If the lander is connected to a docking port in the editor, then you should be able to detach in flight it by selecting "decouple node" from the right-click menu of the docking port. See also the discussion here: Docking Port Decouple Vs Undocking

I did that, but it doesn't give me the option, do I have to be in space to detach it?

EDIT: I am using a Clamp-o-Tron Docking Port

No, it should work fine on the launchpad.

Can you post a screenshot and/or the craft file? (Assuming that you don't use modded parts.)

Yeah hol up ima grab the craft file real quik, also I need to reassign my screenshot keybind bc F1 is taken by other things (cough cough windows)

You cannot directly attach files. You can upload the file to a hosting service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or whatever, allow it to be downloaded by everyone, and then post the link to that file here.

You can also upload your craft to KerbalX, the website devoted to sharing craft files.
