Micro Docking Ports (Docking "Plugs")


Recommended Posts

So I was fooling around with the Kerbal Attachment System and various docking-undocking methods and techniques, but I kept smashing my solar panels against whatever I was trying to dock with. I was wishing I could manually replace solar panels when it occurred to me: If there were such a thing as a really, really tiny docking port (smaller than the Jr. Model) I could just undock the old one, ship a new one up on a rocket, and dock it into place. Micro docking ports, or docking plugs, would allow a small connection for disposable/replaceable components to be mounted to whatever you need it to, so long as it has a compatible port as well. It would be most useful for things like thermal generators and solar panels, but could see use in orbital refueling of craft too small to comfortably fit larger ports. Opinions, anyone?
