Spawn at your spacestation
Hello,

i just want to make some fun stuff in KSP but im very bad in connecting something with my station, i just cant get the same orbit line and stuff. is there a mod that lets you spawn directly next to your spacestation? I can connect it myself but i just cant get close to my station.

Any mods for teleporting/spawning next to it?

thanks

There is a hack, not a mod, but you'll have to understand how to update your "persistent" save file (with all game state info) to change your speed and position (i.e., your orbit) to be about the same as your target. I would give the same speed, and offset the postion by, say, 50 m.

(Warning: If you copy over all those parameters directly, you'll appear in the same location exactly and there will be an explosion.)

There's even a Scott Manley video that includes editing the persistent file...he went over it in a recent video where he was trying to get two items in "opposite" orbits (inclined 180 degrees to each other) to ram at orbital velocity, i.e. 2x 2300 m/s. It resulted in: a big explosion.

There's a mod called HyperEdit that looks like it might do what you want.

Also, you could try using MechJeb. You can use it to fly to an orbit for you and it can schedule launches to intersect other spacecraft

Or you could have this happened to you -- a totally random 1 in a billion chance to unintentionally come back from the moon and land on the front lawn of the Station.

I've not used MechJeb for docking, not sure what could be going wrong. But if you're close enough to dock, perhaps try docking manually. If you're fairly new to KSP, then docking can help you figure out how to translate (Up/Down Left/Right Ahead/Back) and rotate (pitch, yaw and roll) your way to a target.

To dock, you need to align your craft with the docking port. You'll want to point the same direction you'll be pointing after you dock. To do this, be sure you're in ROT mode. (Click the button at lower left to switch modes.) Once aligned close enough, switch to translation (LIN) mode then translate up, down, left, right, in and out as needed until you gently touch the docking port and...presto.

tip: use chase camera while learning (and even after learning) to dock. this aligns the camera with the top of the ship. makes translations easier.
