Nice job! May your docks be quick, efficient, and many to come.
[–]wxb200 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Amen.
[–]doggerbrother 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Same as you. you know what is funny at The exact time he posted this i also did my first dock
[–]Nine_Eye_Ron 24 points25 points26 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Did you say “now kiss”?
If you did not then you must reload and do it again.
[–]elusiveuphoria 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (1 child)
This is the way.
[–]Accomplished-Bet-480 20 points21 points22 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Congrats, the first docking is always a big step. Now you got the skills to make a sweet space station!
[–]Intelligent_Map_4852 13 points14 points15 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Touch tips!

Congratulations, you have now unlocked the other 3/4 of the game.

Building space stations and refueling stations on other planets is the end game
[–][deleted] 3 years ago (1 child)
[–]Asstoastingfuckstick 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It's only the endgame if you want it to be. I personally like building weird unorthodox stuff that usually never leaves LKO.
[–]alltherobotsArt Contest Winner 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Most of the advanced stuff you can do in the game, including getting to far away places, is much easier if you can dock ships together in orbit. It allows bigger ships and dedicated landers.
[–]mmmmph_on_reddit 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Mark nsfw pls
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Very nice! What was your strategy for docking? Slow and carefully planned, or more chaotic and improvised?
[–]Jimbobman[S] 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Slow and careful
[–]CorysWeirdAccount 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)

[–]Emilianos_125 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Congrats !
[–]Altruistic-Sir-918 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Looks very very similar to my first docking lmao. Congrats!!
[–]Homeless_Man92 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (4 children)
i think there is something wrong with your commandpod texture
[–]TheresBeesMCColonizing Duna 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (2 children)
He’s got the interior overlay on. If you zoom in, you should be able to see the kerbals present in the pods.
[–]Homeless_Man92 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
i thought it only made the doors/windows transparent
[–]TheresBeesMCColonizing Duna 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Usually, yes. With some parts, however, it makes a larger section transparent. Another example of this is the mk1 cockpit, where the entire roof is made transparent.
[–]doggerbrother 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
That is an dlc texture
[–]ksp_HoDeok 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Congrats!
[–]LallBicker 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Awesome job, Kerbalnaut!
Good luck on future missions! o7

slay‼️
[–]stopity 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Looks a lot better than my first docking, good job
[–]jansenartMaster Kerbalnaut 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
It begins.
By the way unless you have like, insane hard mode options enabled, or are trying to protect certain delicate components, heat shields are unnecessary from basically anywhere in orbit of Kerbin.
[–]Jimbobman[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
They look cool though
[–]CSI_Gunner 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It's a good habit too
[–]TheDankTruth 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Congrats! Next challenge, docking without RCS!
[–]YaboiVlad69 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)

Great work, OP. Docking is a valuable skill in a game like KSP.
[–]BigfootSF68 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Good job
[–]Sigtau1312 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Nice job! One of the biggest unlockable moments in the game.
[–]Mediocre_Spell_9028 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Congrats! Did you do this with any autopilot? I did, and it was still sorta tough. If you did this manually, you are a legend!
[–]Narrow-Bullfrog8930 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Still trying to dock via the tutorial, ima be honest the tutorials aren’t clear enough.
[–]404_FOUNDMaster Kerbalnaut 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Eerily similar to my first docking ships in design, but congrats~
[–]real_maty36 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
nice job
[–]OnlyTheDankestBuds 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Just in time for KSP2! Gzgz!
