This sounds great! Now we can do containers and "unpack" rovers and the like like they did with the Apollo missions. Is there anyway the weight of the stored items can be applied to the container part?

Thank you Strainborm that was most useful.

I hope KAS is still being developed! I love this mod. It is a must.

MechJeb WILL burn forever when you have the wrong "control from here" area set. Example, if you have the docking port at the top set as the control point then MJ will burn the engines while the marker gets farther and farther away. I've lost a few ships to that.

Me either, this is a must for me.

Yes. You can fire grapples, toggle the magnet on and off and lock and unlock connections. But you can't use the attachment points to the different parts. But you can launch it pre-attached. You can also have more then one KAS winch on the same object.

A probe can do the attach from the KAS part menu (right clicking on it)

With KAS you have to walk over and drag the cable/hose to the object you want to transfer to/from and plug it in. It is more fun in my opinion.

While MJ has some annoying issues and rough edges, each point release makes it that much more amazing. .9 added some really nice flow and features.

Is THAT why my docking is so bloody slow? I have tried 10 and 100 and even 1000 trying to speed it up. I will try 1 but that needs to be better defined.

That is all there is too it? Just one little block.

Err, the music with your example is quite vulgar. I strongly suggest sensitive peoples mute your audio before playing.

I just wanted to also say that the docking autopilot has some real issues with 2.0.9. 2.0.8 (on .20) would dock in just a couple of minutes (using tones of mono) but .9 seems to move at .1 mps and constantly toggles RCS on and off and barely moves. It is pretty much unusable on the exact same craft files from .20 that it could dock quickly. If I engage the main engine while DAP is on it puts on RCS full to try to stop it (and does a good job of slowing the craft down to the .1mps). Hope this information helps in some way. I really want the auto dock back. Thank you TFM

It isn't currently working. We are waiting for an update.

Make sure you have 2.0.9. .8 wouldn't attach right.

Thankfully you can still edit the save file directly and change names. There is a list of new recruits so you can simply change them. But it is so much nicer in game.

I agree, this mod is still sorely needed!

I normally keep clipping off but turn it on to do "logical" things. Like a part that, in RL, would be IN something and not hanging on the side. I will allow it to enter something else. Also, sometimes the parts just don't want to go together due to the close proximity of another part. So clipping allows it to fix as it should. But really it comes down to aesthetics. They win out over "game play rules".

Err, why do the chairs have command sticks?

Back in Early April a friend mentioned this kick ass space game KSP while chatting in SL.. I was bored a week or so later and remembered KSP. Typed it into the good search and though, hmmm, a demo. Lets see what it was all about. 15 minutes after playing the demo I bought the game. Logged about 100 hours now.

I love the mod, it is very handy, but a few notes. My two biggest issues with the latest version are: 1. Separate Liquid & Oxidizer. I've been bit so many times by having taken some from one tank and some from another and then finding myself lacking one side of the mixture. It would be fantastic if we could have a tab that does BOTH automatically. 2. The icon likes to move instead of click if you click on it with ANY mouse movement. Can't you make it move only when in settings mode or something? 3. Highlighting. If you don't manually turn it off it stays on. It would be nice if it turned off all highlighting when you closed the panel. Something I would love to see: Right now it shows you all the tanks. If you are on a space station this can be quite daunting. It would be sweet if you could use the "Disable Cross-feed" setting in docking ports to track down what linksets are separate ships. That way you could maybe list all the ships and then be able to just work on those? Not sure if it is doable, but it would be handy to be able to group sets to work on as a group.

I found that mining kethane and then transporting it up to a space station for processing not as efficient as converting it on mun and then bringing up the finished product.

I for one can't wait for the fixed SAS and RCS systems!

Wow, that is so bloody true!

Mechjeb, KAS, Kethane, Chatterer.
