ironic, seeing as, when i was literally within touching distance with the module i was going to dock i ran out of power so could no longer orient it. spent 10 mins flailing about before knocking off one of the stations solar panels and clicking revert.

Just using reliant engines on the side, with swivels in the middle. UPDATE: With some tweaks to lifter stage (aka, strapping a load of fuel on and a bigger rocket - gotta love the big orange boi) My station is in orbit! now, a funny story: when I was arranging an intercept with a hab module, I got the second intercept to 5.4km. Pretty good, I thought, so I would just wait till the second one. This was, of course, when I realised I had just slammed my periapsis into cold hard earth. Oops.

Hi all - I'm just getting back into ksp and have found that, to phrase it like i thought, excrements is wack. So, i decided to take a pretty standard lifter, strap a station on top and try to start out in my sandbox game. (see pic) 1st separation goes smoothly (asparagus design, pair, then pair), but the moment i ditch the last pair of side boosters my spacecraft decides its had enough of breaching the atmosphere and pursues a career in midair gymnastics, much to the dismay of myself and my payload.
