Maybe some kind of docking mode could be added. A button like the Sync next to the players name.(within 2,25km for example) When selecting it gives both player names to select from on who is primary controller, so when docked the controls go to him. Both agree on same name if not docking mode is cancelled. More to the reason for this mode would be to have both ships in sync with eachother. Today again I tried with someone for hours to dock, and once close the numbers just dint look alike to eachother, he was 80m and closing , I could see him at 230m and drifting away. In the end he docked and I couldn't see it, and then it kicked me to VAB.(assuming its because once docked the computer sees it as 1 ship) Just somehow keep the sync right between 2 vessels docking.

Been trying this out last 2 days with mixed results. when playing yesterday on previous version , I was able to meet up with a ship in orbit, I was the only one on the server so no lag and no problems. And i'll admit it felt pretty cool to rendeszvou with another ship that wasn't mine Today , new version , I tried several servers , found one that's seems somewhat stable, and launched a station in to orbit. Launched a smaller spacecraft to go up and meet with it , but when getting close, the speed was completely wrong (1000+ m/s) at this point the server was also lagging badly (like 8 or so ppl on (10max)). With some persistence I did get closer , up to 200 meters and then suddenly the station warped away to like half a orbit away. I did suggest others to go dock at it so it makes me wonder, what happens when more then one person try's to dock at the same station?? ppl using different timewarps, the thing can't be at both locations. I was thinking a solution would be something like a priority list, if a ship wants to dock , the person owning it gives permission , or when offline its granted when set to public once a person gets permission , the warp from the station will be the same as the person that wants to dock with it. As someothers I noticed when I left the server and came back I could not select the station , but once I got something to orbit I could select the station from 'select as target/switch to'. Maybe some system is possible to keep the station yours , a code you gotta enter , IP that gets remembered .... I have no idea to what degree my suggestions are possible, just trowing out ideas and feedback. Anyhow, great mod , with potential to be truly awesome . thx for time invested and keeping an eye on this thread

Tried it for 2 days and really cool this , after all the reading on how multiplayer is impossible and not been done, this does get pretty close to beeing it. Ofcorse would still be beter if one could actualy meet and/or dock in orbit. Biggest problems i read are with timewarp , and the movement of planets with it. So was just brainstorming a bit on possible work arounds for this and came up with a following idea (god not another suggestion on multiplayer:huh: ) What if , for example you arive at jool to meet up with a player there, now in current condition, all planets and moons are gonna be in diffrent positions because of the diffrent times on the players. So how about if you could sinc time to that player , maybe a link next to the players details. This would put the planets and moons all the same as the other player. Now for the meet up. Maybe a second link next to players details for requesting Rendesvouz , if excepted both players stay in same time, and timewarp will effect both, To make it work i think only 1 player should be able to controle timewarp to avoid conflicts. The rest is more question then suggestion, You can get ppl's space craft with sharecraft/getcraft , but these are most likely the compleet saves (with the stages , boosters etc) (not tried it), is there a way the manned craft can be automaticly uploaded/loaded on getting close? And as for docking and doing something like fuel transfer not sure any of it would be possible just some idea's , see you in space
