Hi KSP players, today i´m writting you to make a suggestion, make Make kerbals in EVA able to connect two points with EAS-4 struct connectors and fuel ducts.

If you are an experienced rocket builder you may know that when two big vessels are docked in orbit they become difficult to control, for that i suggest to make kerbals in

EVA to be able to put EAS-4 conectors and then your docked vessels will become more stable and controlable, I also suggest kerbals in EVA become able to put

fuel ducts because if you have many landers in the surface of a planet/moon and you need to exchange the fuel it could be very usefull to be able to connect them like if you

have a hose.

I know that to make more stable dockings we can use tri-couplers with docking ports in each of the sides.

Your english is excellent.

I would love to see this functionality in the stock game as well. It's very, very useful.

For the moment, check out "Kerbal Attachment System" (KAS), a mod which lets you do just what you're describing.

A lot of that can be done with the Kerbal Attachment System MOD

Damn that ninja problem

You might want to try the Kerbal Attachment System mod, I think it provides what you're asking for.

Apart of that, controlling stations in space is matter of clever design and patience, I never ran into issues which couldn't be solved without struts.

Edit: major ninja overload here on forums

I like this idea as it really expands the free-space function of EVA (versus terrestrial EVA). Many NASA missions that included EVA were to repair, replace, upgrade, reinforce, etc. Not only would it be useful in the game, but it mirrors much of what is done during EVA in real space programs.

Yes what i was describing was similar to the KAS mod maybe with few modifications to make it more similar to the "KSP vanilla" building and flying method, it´s like autopilots, the idea of have some flying data like semi major axis and phase angle is OK but the idea of introduce a full autopilot to "KSP vanilla" like MechJeb would destroy the charm of the "KSP vanilla" flying method

I suspect the next release, with its stronger joints, will make struts between docked vessels less necessary.
