I need to know. Will there be people/kerbals/some other entity?

    @Bmcclory GOOD JOB. Sorry I was so late, I was focused on the Falcon Heavy. Anyway, today was amazing.

    @Bmcclory Have you docked yet? Don't get frustrated, and also make sure to balance your RCS thrust vector

    I’m thinking if you add Probe parts, you must add astronauts.

    @AndrewGarrison maybe in later updates?

    Can't commit to this yet. I'd like to have astronauts, but we still have a lot of work to do before we can get to that.

    @Bmcclory That’s the spirit! Keep it up!

    @Bmcclory Just tell me how it goes when you're done!

    @Bmcclory Make sure you pack enough RCS. My method also doesn't require a large of fuel to adjust the course of the satellite. Make sure you match velocities before passing it. Also, don't be afraid to brute force things.

    Good luck!

    When docking, follow the procedure below. This works pretty much every time, and as you get more used to it, you can do it faster and faster.

    1. Match your orbit with the station you want to dock with.
    2. Tap on the station you want to dock with.
    3. If your station is less than 180 degrees in front of you, lower your periapsis slightly. If it is more than 180 degrees ahead, increase your apoapsis slightly.
    4. Time warp. By doing step 2, it should tell you your intercept, or closest approach.
    5. Once your closest approach is within reasonably close distance (I normally go for at or around 1 kilometer), use RCS to make it into an intercept. This step may not be entirely necessary, as you may get an intercept on the first try.
    6. When you reach your intercept, adjust your speed and try to match speeds with the station.
    7. Using RCS, dock by lining up the docking port and plug, and gently move towards the station. For this, I would not recommend more than 2 meters a second.
    8. once you have made contact, adjust as needed until the docking port matches on.

    Congratulations, you have just docked a spacecraft!

    Some important notes:
    Lowering your orbit allows you to move faster relative to that of a station with a higher orbit.
    In the same sense, making your orbit higher will slow you down.

    Unfortunately, there isn't a visual cue for satellites, so you will just have to look at the map, very carefully.

    Docking is very frustrating, and practicing will help a lot. Don't give up!

    @Bmcclory I also know that he mentioned about probes. I'm thinking that if he's adding probes, he'll be adding people too. Anyway, I will probably develop a Launch Escape System, like I have on the original SR

    @RailfanEthan
    I was joking around when I said that but...
    What would the entities be called? Smumans?

    If they do, it definitely won't be called kerbals because, ya know, copyright n such

    I'm also quite excited. If he does add, virtual entities, then I hope that he also adds EVAs, science, and other such things.

    On second thought, that may be too close to KSP

    I’m also looking forward to that!
