It should be the same orbital mechanics. I mean, you're still orbiting the All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you want to rendezvous in any reasonable timescale in interstellar space you'll have to time everything perfectly. Otherwise, I would advise sticking to docking in LKO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you even consider rendezvous and docking while between the stars? Relative velocities and angles can be absolutely anywhere. No one is going to allow that situation to come up. You can't build a big enough KSS xxxChaser that can spare the dV for that. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe eosapiens were the precursors It's just the planet So if you know someone who can code lifeforms into KSP, send him my way. I'll make the amoebic see a little more purple. But from the ground It'll look like normal water ... Otherwise all the smaller lakes will be purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is possible to make those giant walking things and then add them in as still objects in the surface, like rocks on the mun. I can't find any threads relating to adding npcs into the game, only ones talking about if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After its engines did the burn to get there, it would spin around and use several extremely thin shields to protect itself from the Earth based lasers that would power the first bit of the journey by pushing a 16x16km solar sail. I think. Edited February 7, 2018 by Wilhelm Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
