KAPAS - Kerbal Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (working!)

Hi all.

I want to tell you about KAPAS-75 - Kerbal Androgynous Peripheral Attach System-75. It is based on APAS-75. 'Androgynous' means that nodes are symmetrical, the same. This port can connect ships, but there are 3 problems:

1. Ships shakes when attached.

2. It doesn\'t work with time warp more than 2x.

3. After changing ships nodes can detach.

How to use:

1. Meet target craft.

2. Bring together the ships.

3. When bases of nodes touch each other, close the petals.

4. Change craft and close the petals.

If someone knows how to fix problems, please, tell me.

Nice!!! But can you make a 1m thing? I\'ve made a hole with 6 symmetry fuel tanks+engine. My goal is to get a small thing in it. But the base part can\'t attach underneath the command pod :(

I just want it so I can attach it underneath the ship, like you mount fuel tanks under them command pod. But the grab part doesn\'t need to be changed.

And by the way, How to close the petals? with G

The part.cfg says something about default landing leg settings.

So I suppose this is just a modified lander leg (but in such a way that it can \'grab more efficient\').

So that would be G.

I tried docking with this system, it didn\'t work with me.

I got the parts to interlock and touch, then closed both the parts. But due to rotation of one of the craft they came loose again.

My craft just before docking:

Even with this, docking is not possible yet.

This is just like docking with lander legs: the meshes of the ships get entangled, which screws up the physics engine and throws both ships out of control.

It should work for 0.16, because it's basically only redesigned landing legs. This doesn't provide real docking though. You can sort of dock (just like with landing legs), but the physics will pull you apart if you warp or switch ships, and there are many glitches.
