Hi, Thanks for the advice. I've outfitted the ship with clamp-o-tron jr's. Problem now is it gets into space beautifully, but when I click the docking ports I can't undock. It only allows me to "control from here", with no other options. Also, mounting a separator on a BZ-52 doesn't seem to work.

Hi there, I can't quite figure out how to make a single ship from which to launch multiple probes. The premise is that I would like to launch a 'mothership' as it were from which to launch individual probes. So I fly by a moon or planet, park the ship in orbit, launch a probe which lands on the body by its own and then the sip moves on to the next body. I have a main ship with 4 probes attaches with radial decouplers. Problem is if I decouple, there appears to be no way to control the probe. It simply drifts away uncontrollably. The individual probes are outfitted with OCTO command modules, engines and parachutes. Even if I switch to 'control from here' and then decouple, it doesn't work. Am I just that stupid? Thanks in advance dor any help.
