How to use KAS

KAS usage is no different from the usual vessel design process. Before attaching the parts, you have to decide what is the goal. Below, is a short list of the primary goals and the recommended approaches.

• Refueling: Add JS-1 on the vessel and RTS-1 on the base. Use transfer GUI. Don't use the docking mode.
• Connecting the mining components on the surface: Connect them via JS-1/RTS-1 pair and do use the docking mode. However, this always attracts Kraken attention, so try to keep your installation as simple as possible (no height changes, no distant links).
• Constructing a sturdy station on orbit: Use TJ-1/JS-1 pair. On the forum @Tonka Crash has published some part designs with an extended distance. You may find them helpful, but you'll have to search.
• Towing a vessel with another vessel on the surface: Use the TB-60 part. Be careful, though. I did my best to make this part as stable as possible, but there are weird edge cases that were not addressed.
• Stopping the endless wobbling of the parts in a station: Use PCB-1/CH-1 pair.
• Lifting or pulling things: Use W-50/HW-80 + JS-1 pair.
• Getting back to the "old good KAS": Follow the link and read the instructions in the file.

If your case is not covered, please, describe it on the forum.
