The Docking Trophy Part 2

[Gunsnipe3795]

Okay so I finally got the "Look Ma, No Tractor Beams!" Trophy (AKA the docking trophy). Anyway I tried the "Apollo" Method, which was to have a single rocket with the command/service module and the lander go up and as soon as I was in orbit, I decoupled from the lander, turn the command module around and dock with the lander. Unfortunately this doesn't work as the game apparently sees the two different ships (the command module and lander) as already docked, thus not unlocking the trophy. So I went back and tried launching two separate rockets and this worked. Here's a detailed list of the parts I used for both ships. If you have these parts already unlocked in career mode, use them, if not then go into sandbox mode (I got the trophy in that mode), also, the list has the parts going from bottom to the top

Now for the fun part, docking these two ships together, no unfortunately I don't have the actual footage of the two ships docking; but I did go back to and created a video tutorial for you guys in case you needed it. (I apologize for the long video; but it was necessary to show the building aspect of the two ships, if you want to skip ahead I'll add timestamp to where I start my rendezvous; but I strongly recommend that you watch the video in its entirety)

Timestap to where I start rendezvous:  56:26

If you followed the video and the two ships are perfectly docked, you'll have your shiny new gold trophy "Look Ma, No Tractor Beams!"
