Small hint: Lights help a lot with docking.

Um... Uh...

Where's your RCS?

If you're saying your first docking was without RCS thrusters, a thousand congratulations.

Hey, congrats! Now's the time for going interplanetary.

[StrandedonEarth]

Congrats! That first docking is always the hardest. It only gets easier after that. I can't tell from those pics if you have any RCS, which makes it even harder if you don't (I don't think I've ever pulled off a no-RCS docking). You could get one of these two mods to make it much easier: either 'Navball Docking Alignment Indicator' or 'NavyFish Docking Alignment Indicator.' The latter has more info but takes up some screen space.

Congrats! The first dock is the hardest but to do it without RCS is even better. It's much easier with RCS!

Now download the Docking Port Alignment Indicator and make it even easier still.

[Thiagobs]

Holy smokes man! First successful docking and you done it without RCS?

That's like saying "Hey, I just learned how to drive, and I won 24 hours of Le Mans on my first drive!"

Ok, I may be exaggerating, but that's impressive!

[Srpadget]

Your first docking was with NO RCS?!? I have never even attempted that. (Rendezvous and crew/data transfer between the two nearby vehicles, yes. Actual DOCKING, nope.) My hat is off to you!

[problemecium]

As someone who actually HAS docked without RCS, it's not THAT hard... but I still concur it's a lot easier if you do have it

[klesh]

High five!

That's a landmark achievement in any space program. Congrats.

No. It is incredibly difficult.... It would have made more sense to say you are incredibly gifted at this game, rather then detract from his acheivement. But then you'd sound like an A-Hole.

Can't we keep humble brags out of threads like this? It's not about what you can do anyways, you have to make your own thread for that...

Agh, just forget those trolls! The mods will deal out the justice!

But your first docking, and without RCS?! I know everyone else has said this but wow! This puts my first docking to shame...

Do we another Scott Manley being born?
