Delta-V seems stuck on Zero, yet everything works.

I've built my first 'Atomic' Mothership. I've added a several boosters, and as a result my craft has more than 50,000 units of liquid fuel, and 20 Nerv Rockets, all lined up in the same stage.

And yet, my Staging List says 0m/s

The engines all work. I open the throttle, and the engines light right up.

Anyone ever had this problem before?

 

EDIT: Never mind. Apparently it has fixed itself. The numbers came up after I went to the Tracking station and then back to the ship a few times. I don't know why, but it seems to be working now.

yes, it is perfectly normal when you have a complex ship. You can't even blame the game; it cannot know what you intend to do with your multiple engines and docking ports.

personally, ever since I made my first mothership, the Marco Polonium, I stopped using the in-game deltaV gauge and I make my own calculations instead

A lot of times if I run into this issue, adding an empty stage between current & the next actual stage seems to fix the dV also.  I don't know why it does, but usually does the trick for me.
