Stupid cargo bays!

[Der Anfang]

Admit it, everybody loves cargo bays, even if at the moment they serve no real purpose. They are aesthetically pleasing to have. But actually having to put cargo in them can be quite frustrating, especially if when you are placing a new part inside of them that nothing won't snap (it acts like it is on non-angle snap), so you usually end up placing something slightly off semetry. Because of that I don't even attempt to place anything, and it's hard to really do anything with those bays.

How in the world do you make stuff inside of those bays? And more over, why are docking ports so stubborn about being snapped into place when cargo bays are involved?

I build the part to put in the cargo bay separately then save it as a subassembly. Using a docking port as the rootpart, so I can attach it to the docking port inside of the cargo bay. Makes life so much easier when you do it this way.

I was about to say that - I'll just "this" you instead

Alt is the best key you never knew did anything!
