Make the VAB show how many parts are needed for the craft. If it currently is on OC, then I can't find it and it needs to be more visible.

Put a KAS winch on rails, and you can make a cargo loading crane.

Can i make a program that periodically does an action from a part's action menu (i.e. extend/retract panels)? Can it tell if there is a selected target? Or what that target is? Can it replicate the press of a key? Because I want to combine this with Lazors to make an automatic missile launcher combining LIDAR with Missiles.

i think you misunderstand. you can time warp ON THE LAUNCHPAD. the problem is that the game thinks the ship is in flight when it is not in flight, meaning he cant go to the space center or use time warp. For instance, he cant time his launch because that requires using time warp and physics warp is not fast enough and destroys everything.

I've already tried that, but i can't cancel my relative velocity. it always just reverses direction at 6 m/s. This is okay for LANDING but not DOCKING. I mean, this is getting frustrating. I use Lazors, Mechjeb, etc, and can't do **** in this game.

You don't need to go right over KSC. Orbit as it comes naturally, then when you launch another rocket, your natural orbiting maneuvers will get you to the same spot.

Okay, i am TERRIBLE at docking. Mostly because of my inability to cancel my relative velocity in time. But, if the object i want to dock with is geosynchronous, then i will actually approach the same spot with the same velocity with a ship to dock with as the original object, removing the guesstimation from docking.
