New question about space stations... I want to do one of those giant loop space stations that you tend to see on the older sci fi movies where they rotate the whole thing to generate gravity. My only problem is that I can't figure out how to connect the two ends of the loop together... I'm sure this is a little advanced, but I have been playing since version 0.23 and just haven't managed to figure out a whole lot on my own. I just recently made a soft landing on the moon. It was on a slant and the ship leaned and blew up, but I landed finally a few months ago.

Well, I thank everyone for their input in regards to my questions. Unfortunately, I do not have access to my desktop at the moment and as such can neither install the aforementioned mods nor can I test them. I should be able to try all of this out a little later tonight, though. So again, thank you very much for your input.

Alright. I've already scoured the forums and web as best I know to try and find some decent information in regards to this topic, and alas, I have failed in my search, quite miserably. What I want to do is to actually be able to build a ship in space... One that does not have the rubber band effect whenever you fire up the engines... Is there any way to weld in space or anything to that degree? Are there any mods pertaining to this topic that might fit what I am inquiring about already? Or anything that might make constructing in space easier? Also, again, in regards to construction, I don't like using airlocks to attach new ship parts, but regardless of my preference, which is an easier method of docking...? MechJeb auto docking system or manually docking? I've never tried docking. To paranoid and too twitchy, hope the twitchy part makes sense. OH! I forgot... Whenever I try to launch anything large, like a whole section of a space station, my rocket goes up about 100 meters and then just starts spinning out of control. Just wondering if I am doing something wrong there? Thanks in advance for any help y'all might be able to offer me.

Hullo. I'm still having trouble with 0.90. I have MechJeb2 installed, that's the only mod I have installed. I was playing for a while this afternoon, managed to get a large piece of space station in orbit, went to land, landed my rocket on a nice four-point landing but then it wouldn't let me reclaim the ship. I backed out to the playing field, my memory is gone today can't remember the right names for the parts of the game, either way it stopped accepting mouse input. I clicked on the tracking station a hundred times and nothing happened. I hit escape to quit and couldn't go to the main screen. None of the buttons worked. So I had to alt-f4 the thing and ever since then, the same issue has persisted. I can get into the game just fine but can't get back out without alt-f4'ing it. Anyone else have this issue, anyone ever heard or seen this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, everyone, for you suggestions. Supernovy, thanks to you, I was able to figure it out. It turned out that my craft are running out of electrical charge. So now, I have to do a pre-launch experiment and see if it needs batteries or not.

Alright. This is getting very frustrating and happening to often. Just now it happened in the middle of a launch and I just closed the program. In a nutshell... I keep losing the ability to control my ships. I can't make corrections, I can't adjust velocity, nothing. No matter how many times I switch back into the program, tab around the star system or smash the keys on the keyboard, I can't get control of my ship back. Am I the only one with this problem? What could possibly be causing it? I never had this problem with the demo and as far as I know, I'm NOT running x64 KSP.

Thank you, very much, everyone. Now to get to work on my station. Hopefully I can actually make that work. Satellites are a peace of cake, but this will be my first time putting large things up there. And I was not positive how refueling would work. Is it possible to do my secondary idea of refueling a shuttle up there and then using that to get to the moon and drop stuff off? Or is that totally impractical and I'm just dreaming Star Trek stuff now? I prefer how the shuttle works versus the rockets, btw.

Hello, everyone. I have successfully launched a Mir style satellite, a science satellite and several communications satellites. Now, I'm finally getting ready to start working on my space station - no, I haven't left Kirbal orbit yet, wanna get to the moon soon. Anyway, I was wondering, after I finish construction of my space station, is it possible to build a rocket at the space station so that I don't have to deal with terrestrial-based fuel costs and just launch from space? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I could even just build a space shuttle with some extra fuel and a rover in the hanger for a Mun expedition at the space station...? Thanks.
