Thank you for the workaround!

This. So much of this.

I can see that, sort of. But a scaled-down mass driver is still a railgun. I wouldn't want a constellation of them trying to dock with my shiny new L4 station, that's all.

If you think you have trouble with docking, these guys apparently want to use mass drivers not just for propulsion, but RCS. Lord I hope that was a typo, or a mistranslation, or something.

I'll second that. I have MechJeb, ScanSat, & KER; just added DTC to try to control an oversized roving refinery. Seems to get farther off the closer the craft should be to balanced (at least according to the SPH). [Oh, and Kerbal Alarm Clock. I always forget that's a mod, until I have to go looking for it.]

>So, you're saying this is the KSP equivalent of THIS ...? Pretty much.

Fun fact: If you accidentally set MJ's tolerance to 803 m/s, instead of .03, you can completely convince yourself that MechJeb, your craft, KSP, and possibly the laws of physics are all broken.

Given that Kerbin's atmosphere has the consistency of oatmeal, I open them later instead of earlier - you'll slow down below 150m/s without any help, at which point the parachutes are much less likely to cause spontaneous disassembly.

Shouldn't that thing have a picture of Bun-bun on the side?

While I wait for the download, I'm gonna marvel at how the store & forum are up. *knocks on wood*

I'm feeling strangely compelled to make an ornery space donkey.

You rock. Thanks so much for this mod.

No, it turns out there are two of us.

And both those things were true, or I wouldn't have mentioned it. As it's a dev build I'm aware it won't always do what I expect; since I'm not a programmer, I have no idea what failure modes might tell the developer something interesting.

I built a ship with four probes, to map the Joolian moons in one mission. After detaching one probe and getting it into Laythe orbit, it didn't seem to start scanning until I went to the tracking station and back to it. Will update if it behaves differently with the other probes.
