I've been building and testing the latest version from git, also been in touch with the developers. Daniel345: In the next version, the saftey bubble can be changed by setting "safetyBubbleRadius". There's a new chat thing aswell, But I've probably missed a billion things, much has changed since the v0.1.2.0 version. You don't have to dock to deorbit other peoples things, pushing up against them should suffice. You can set your vessels as private so other people cannot control them or dock to them, but I'm fairly sure they can still be de-orbited by pushing. The git builds have proven themselves much more stable for me (and should for you too), Less crashes, less dropouts and less bandwidth usage getting your ship through the bubble. As I have ADSL1, I haven't been able to get big ships through the bubble yet. Don't quote me on this as I'm not a developer (I've been poking and prodding the devel version to find bugs): The squad answer would be Real Soon , but they are hoping to release tomorrow.
