Does the trick of having double docking ports for lining things up straight still work in the latest version? because i tried it in 0.19, and nothing happened.

From what I've heard,  you need to have the docking ports all connect at the same time to pull off the multiple connections trick. That means the two things you're trying to dock need to be perfectly aligned before you dock them, they won't straighten themselves out.

I haven't actually tried it myself though, so I might be wrong.

Well that kinda defeats the purpose, for me at least. I mainly want them so I can have my station aligned properly.

I put my buggies on the KAS cranes and lower them down.

I don't have pics handy.

Here's my madness SPARTA!! method:


Linky for larger image.

The rover hangs from the KAS winch (A) inside the ship's service bay (actually a repurposed Firespitter bomb bay); to get it out:
  • Have a Kerbal grab the connector from the rover's own winch (B).
  • Either:
    • Plug it into one of the connector ports on the landing struts (C).
    • Put a grappling hook on it and attach it directly to the ground.
  • Retract the cable on the rover's winch while extending the cable on the ship's winch.
The rover includes a probe core, so its orientation can be adjusted on the way down.

Personally, I don't see the point of separating the rover from the lander. Just slap wheels on the lander and bam, you have a rover.

Anyone have recommendations for PID values for use with FAR?  I really want aerodynamics, but I want ASAS even more.  Unfortunately, the standard settings for PID make ASAS worse than useless with FAR.

In other news the 0.21.0 will destroy the 0.20.2 saves. So I don't feel like maneuvering my space station right now...

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Well, I've finally sort of figured out the mechanics behind rendezvousing, and I've gotten my first space station up and running! Behold!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't even care that I can't dock with two of the ports because of the solar panels.
