Noob Space Station Questions v.21 MJ2

Recommended Posts

This is my first posting after lurking for months.

First I'd like to say that I can finally be an astronaut! I was 11 years old watching Apollo 11 land, and then all the other missions. As a result, I wanted to be an astronaut as a boy. Thanks to the very hard work and great inspiration by Squad, I can now live that dream!

Questions:

1) Can a fully loaded space stations with multiple landers and rovers attached orbiting in Kerbin be pushed out to a Minmus orbit? Or a planet?

2) What happens to the actions I set up once two craft are merged by docking? Do they come back when separated?

3) Can I launch ships from Kerbin that have some tanks empty with the intent of refueling them once they dock at the station?

4) If I try a burn with this SS having all but one engine turned off, can I still circularize the orbit after other ships are attached to the SS?

Thanks folks!

1) You can move anything as long as you move it carefully enough at low accelerations.

2) Action groups have stayed set in detached ships for me, but I don't want to promise that it will work for you because there are occasional weirdnesses that still need to be worked out of the docking system.

3) Yes, but you have to burn off the fuel or use a mod to empty the tanks.

4) Not sure what you mean, though as I said, you should be able to burn the engines on a fragile ship if you are careful and stick to low accelerations.

My space station has lots of vehicles. I bet there are 75 boosters there. I only want to fire ONE booster to circularize, or to move the orbit. Any more than that would rip the station apart.

I know I can click 74 boosters and disable them. I was hoping the opposite could also be done - tell the SS to only burn with ONE user selected booster?
