Docking: relative rotational angle advice requested!


Recommended Posts

Greetings!

I've been putting some objects of non-descript scientific value up in space, and have been docking them together with the intent of it looking like a space station. However, as the docking ports do not seem to lock at a certain angle, I've been using quad docks, so I can at least choose how to rotate the parts at 90 degree intervals.

However, using this quad port setup is quite a hassle, and with the release of the big docking ports I thought I'd ask for some advice from the professionals. Should I stick to my quads, or switch to the big ones?

-Is there a way to get the two objects perfectly lined up on the ROTATIONAL axis? I'm not talking about lining them up for docking, I'm talking about getting them both to have their bellies in the same direction, if you will.

-I've seen a lot of gorgeous space stations out here. How did you guys line it up properly?

-Is mechjeb capable of doing this somehow?
