Vibe testing of satellites and/or whole rockets before launch


Recommended Posts

We've all had problems with wobbly rockets or payloads before, and there have been many suggestions before to stop it. However, I'm not suggesting we stop it, just that we get the chance to test for and fix it with struts before we actually launch the payload/rocket. This would be especially useful if the idea of rockets damaging buildings at the spaceport ever gets implemented.

My thought is that it could be done in a similar way to

Maybe put a shake table inside the new R&D facility?

If this has been suggested before, I apologize. I searched through the already suggested ideas and this subforum for words like vibe, shake, and table and found nothing similar to this.

true the woblyness of a rocket is something that adds some stress to your launch and there is nothing more satisfying than making a wobly rocket get to orbit. ^^ (in sand box mod anyway)

I just think that they should allow some parts to have more than two joints like the wings or the fortifying structures

I don't think they will make something like this, one of the key features of the game is watching poorly built rockets do some wacky things. :D

I suppose this is a somewhat "un-kerbal" suggestion. I guess I just don't like seeing Kerbalnauts die needlessly. Maybe I'll just have to build my own shake table with infernal robotics...
