My generic introduction - Hi Folks

[tjsnh]

Hi there.

35 Y/O adult gamer from NH USA, amateur rocketry enthusiast, and freshly addicted KSP junkie.

I currently play stock with no mods (playing for about 2 weeks now), I've landed and returned kerbals from Mun, Minmus, and Duna. I have _tremendous_ problems with docking; I've only successfully docked once (two identical 3-man capsule vehicles, just for testing, nothing practical) and it took me over 2 hours "real time"... I can navigate 'close' , within 2km, without much difficulty - then I end up getting 'even closer' around 300m but just end up wasting huge time orbiting my docking target unable to reduce relative velocities in a stable way. I'll make a post in the other forum category about it asking for help lol.

Also, I run KSP exclusively on 64bit Linux. Don't know what the OS breakdown is among KSP players, but for any devs who might read this - having the 64bit linux port made you at least one sale all by itself.

Welcome aboard!

Yes, better to have a look at the Gameplay Questions and Tutorials section about how to dock. Lots of tutorials there could be of help, and in case that's where your post for more help should go and receive best answers.

Welcome aboard there, sir! I'd also reccomend, if you haven't already, looking at Scott Manley's docking tutorial. His help is what finally enabled my to do my first docking. I ended up using the Clamp-o-Tron Sr.s because I was cheating a bit XD

Docking's quite hard, but once you've mastered it, it will be like your daily routine.
