Yeah, it's the stock Clamp-o-Tron. Not sure if it was retextured by one of my mods, or if that's just what it looks like with textures at max, but its definitely stock.

Then it was probably retextured.

Are there only 2 docking ports? I think we'll need a lot of docking ports.

Sorry, I didn't realize that this picture was an extension to the core module and not the core module itself. I was thinking that the core module has only two docking ports.

I editet my other post now.

By the way, what should I build?

You'd have to ask @VoidCosmos. The poll is tied, so I guess he gets to break it?

Is that because you aren't very good at it and are struggling with it, or are you running into a bug that makes docking ports not work?

As far as I know, @Aniruddh is making a nuclear tug to transfer the modules of people who can't do the transfer by themselfes.

the first sadly. 

can i send someone a kerbalx craft to dock for me?

Did you try the ingame tutorial? A friend of mine learned how to dock in with an ingame tutorial.

I've been playing ksp for 6 years, and I only got the hang of docking (without mechjeb) only 8 months ago, so that's totally fine.  

EDIT: You can also try Navball Docking Alignment Indicator, a very stock-alike mod the makes docking much easier.

i cant do it even with mechjeb and i cant find a mechjeb tutorial for it.

can i have a module that deploys cube sats that can be maneuvered for close communications

I also didn't know how to dock for a very long time. The mistake I did was that I didn't watch good tutorials and gave up way too fast. I also never tried an ingame tutorial. Then I just waited way too long until I tried again. I recommend to learn how to use maneuver nodes first (you can reward yourself with a Mun or Minmus mission afterwards) and then learn how to dock as soon as possible. And don't give up, you can do it.

[Aniruddh]

Yeah, sometimes mechjeb's docking autopilot freaks out when you're dealing with huge crafts and haven't put enough reaction wheels and RCS. I can remember how nightmarishly hard it was to try counteract mechjeb's incorrect steering.

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

i know how to use maneuvers but not docking.

Thanks, now i know what went wrong with my attempt to dock a Soyuz in RSS/RO using MechJeb

Then you should be ready for a docking tutorial. Docking gives you a lot of possibilitys

Oh also forgot to mention offset center of mass with RCS, that also confuses mechjeb.

i don't think there is a deadline 

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

when should i share the save?

I think KerbalX was suggested, but I suppose any filehost will do.

Also, who is going next? I want to put my module towards the outside, so not me.

 

[s_gamer101]

Someone with a slow PC should go next.

[s_gamer101]

@epicfailure2020 Do you need someone to dock the extension to your module now?

I'll dock all the modules for people who cant, also, is the limit still ten parts?

i will put it on kerbalx because i don't have a dropbox account.

i just cant dock anything so yeah that would be nice

[catloaf]

Good news, I updated to 1.10.1 and it didn't break everything!

I'll do it.

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

um i cant find out how to upload the save to kerbalx so can i just upload the core module to kerbal x for someone else to put into orbit?

or is there another way to upload a save to the forums?

I‘d like to increase it to 20. I can‘t do any cool module with 10 parts.

@OutInSpace said that 20 parts would probably work.

Would anyone agree with 20?
