Decoupler Perplexer

[kaijar]

Hey all! I'm trying to create space stations, but I'm having some trouble with the decouplers. I want to keep my station as free of decouplers as possible, but when I add more parts, they decouple away from my ship but stay on the station. Normally, this is great. But is there a way to change the direction they decouple? As in, is there a way to keep it attached to my main ship when I decouple away from the space station?

I believe you can rotate the decouplers before attaching them; a 180 degree rotation should reverse the direction of decoupling. Then just make sure they're correctly placed in the staging stack.

I tried that, but it didn't work...

The decouplers ALWAYS depart on the part further from the command pod. Sorry, but that's just the way it goes.

The small ones do, at the moment. The large ones, however, decouple properly either way.
