Questions on Docking

[AmericanCosmonaut57]

Hello, I have two shuttles in orbit that I have managed to combine their orbits almost perfectly but one is farther in the orbit than the other. Should I use the main engine to thrust towards one of the space crafts or did I make a mistake? What should I do?

How far apart in orbit are they? If you're close enough (I'd say within about ~10km or so), then yeah, you should be able to get a small amount of thrust going in the direction of your target that will let you drift closer.

What you need to do is figure out if your are "chasing or being chased, (IE is it more ahead or behind you), if your chasing it, lower your PE seme to catch up, then kill relitive once your closer, rinse repeat till yoru in about 1 KM of your target, if its chasing you, make your AP higher so it can catch up. again aim for about 1 KM seperation, the nod editor really helps with this as it will show you intercet points where your orbit crosses that of your target.
