I have a craft/station in orbit, and whenever i try and dock something it either undocks itself after 5 seconds of being docked or will undock when i pause the game. when it undocks, it will throw me a few m/s in the other direction, and when i go back and redock, the top half of my station explodes. i’ve tried to dock it about a dozen times now, and nothing seems to work. the part scale is at 100% for the ports.

can anyone help me solve this issue? any help would be appreciated.

    @FriendlyFin im not sure that will work because i intend to dock in leo then fire my engines to go to another planet and if they don’t attach properly, i cant do it. you idea might work if i just wanted to keep them together. but after my ports detached and i tried to re dock, my station exploded :/. my station is huge so i might try and make it smaller and see if that helps.

    i’ve tried this once before, on the surface of a planet.
    it did not work because there was gravity, unlike this situation

    how about you bring astronauts and tether the predicted docking port failures together?
