You should do a mission to duna in the style of The Martian where you have a veichle that stays in orbit like the hermes, a ground base that is placed there and a descent/ascent veichle to dock with the hermes.

When docking ports are "kissing" (within magnetic range), the angle - unless extreme - doesn't matter too much. Just disable SAS on the lighter one of the two vessels (on the approaching one, in case of a station approach) and give them some time. I have seen standard docking ports slowly pulling very heavy tanker vessels right up to the point where the docking ports snapped together successfully after a few minutes. Magnets just don't give up.
Hey, I've used "docking bees" before. Basically small Mk1 pods with a bunch of RCS thrusters, monopropellent tanks, and docking ports at both ends. Just to move station modules around.
I would recommend a mod called restock. I know and understand why you don’t use mods but this one only changes parts to look more realistic or closer to their real counterparts. It doesn’t change any stats or anything and all of the parts look pretty neat. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

If the Composition of Duna is the same as that of Mars, then the Coronavirus cannot survive. EDIT: Duna has the same composition as Mars. There is only Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, combined with below freezing (0 Degrees Celsius/32 Degrees Fahrenheit/273.15 Kelvins) temperatures, very fine dust and toxic soil (Although it has the required nutrients for plant life). No living organism could survive, except Tardigrades.
Cool work around with using a Kerbal to push a space station together! Next time your close to docking like that, turn off sas and rcs on one craft and the docking port magnets will pull the craft together. When you leave sas on and try to turn a craft it pivots around the center of the craft, but with sas off, and no steering inputs given, it will pivot on the pull of the docking port.
Just did my first duna mission today, I’ve had the game for ages now but I just learned how to dock spaceships. Really easy not having to launch everything at once, the mission I made it to put a Station in orbit then send down 2 landers with science gear from breaking ground. Then return to ship and head back to Kerbin. And then use singe use lander to get back to ground and leave Duna lander and station in orbit around kerbin
Man these KSP videos never get old i've been playing since i was four and I love the game Matt's videos a pretty much are the only reason i'm good at KSP.
BTW Matt do you have a clue when 1.9 is going to come out? There is a note from the devs that says they are going to kick off the year with an update of 1.9
If you want tips on how to get better, watch Scott Manley's tutorials from like 5 years ago, they still apply. Docking the first time took me 7 hours to do 6 months ago but yesterday I did it in only an hour and a half for my second time and Scott Manley's words were embedded in my head from the first million times I watched his video
Docking tip: Set the port you're docking to as the target, and then at the docking port of the vessel you're docking with, hit "control from here". That way, your controls are relative to the docking port, instead of the pod of the ship. It makes docking much simpler.
Had that recently. Wanted to dock a -Space Shuttle- ehh -Buran- eh reusable orbiter to the -Mir- eh, Kir. But the issue was, both moved past each other so fast that I couldn't get a click on the target docking port.
I know I'm a year late, but one thing you could add to the station is an ore storage and processing system, perhaps with a few drones designed to be sent down to the surface to harvest materials and bring them back up the central ore processing arm of the station could also house a scanning arm for finding ore on the planet below
You wouldn't need wings on the bottom of the rocket if you have wings ontop if you ascend with the top wings perpendicular to the ground so they don't create lift therefore won't make the rocket unstable.
You would probably be helped with ground stability by providing a wider stance with the main gear, and also by making them multiple-axle tractors instead of single-axle.
Just had my first Randevous. And funny I should watch this vid just a few hours after that. I do agree, the best thing to do is just play the game and try things out. Need I say my Randevous was 2km away and Jebadiah had to EVA and spend about 1 hour in space waiting to catch up with the unmanned shuttle. Much fun was had by all!
I think a little bit of part clipping is fine. I mean even if space ships were made out of select prefabricated pieces in the real world, saws, grinders and welders exist.
@@notkiwibird On the mün. But here's the catch. To make it a funnier episode, it's a low-tech world and (if it's possible) he maybe could try and recover the craft. But I don't think it is since the rocket has no docking ports and I haven't unlocked the grabber yet
Don't complain about offhand comments for newbies. You're absolutely right to toss that stuff out. Plus to me it looks really strange to be playing the game without Kerbal Engineer for both orbits and landings.
Just in case If you didn’t know , the mystery goo thing is so you can observe how the goo reacts , and the yellow one I’m sure that in real life that thing is a tensiometeter , another way to say a couple nested refractive spectroscopy version of a anemometer
12:29 how about second Duna mission! I kind of probably don’t have enough fuel left to get back from the first so my plan is send a space station with large fuel reserves to Duna and refuel there before going back to Kerbin
If you don’t want to worry about landing on the dark side of a celestial body than in settings you can adjust the ambient light of a planet or moon so that there isn’t a day or night.
how do you have it so that the ship is visible even on the dark side of planets? mine is always completely black, could that just be a visual mod issue?
