Screw-Lock Docking Ports

Recommended Posts

Hello modding community!

I doubt there is a mod that already does this, but I would like to see some docking ports that, immediately after docking (or via right click), rotate backwards in a screw-like fashion, as though they are screwing the new module into the initial spacecraft/station. It's not entirely necessary, but I thought it would look great on large interplanetary cruisers and such.

I have no modding experience of my own (besides a terrible attempt at making my own command pod), but I think the screw animation could use rotation mechanics like those in Infernal Robotics (rotating the docking port (and thus the attached craft) while also retracting the whole assembly back into the station). If anyone wants to have a go at making something unique like this then that'd be awesome :)

If they ended up being stiffer than normal docking ports so that I didn't have to use quantum struts, then I would use something like this.

Who else wants to see docking ports screw? O.o
