[1.3] - Modular Kolonization System (MKS)

mooring!? xD DOCKING!

USI construction has 'Construction' docking ports that can be 'collapsed' to remove the docking ports and directly connect the two pieces.

There is no reason you could not do this with shipping crates. Sure you would have a docking port during transit, but when you get it to it's final destination, just collapse the ports and you will have a direct connection with no docking ports to disturb the aesthetics.

Admittedly I have never used them(I use KIS/KAS instead), but they seem like a good option for assembling bases without excess part-count or resorting to KAS for on-site assembly.

Note: I think construction docking ports can only be put on nodes, so that may limit your assembly options. (I think shipping crates mostly have 3 nodes, one on each end, and one on a side for surface attaching)

Another option is to use Ground Construction for on-site construction, then use a construction docking port to connect a node on your new vessel to a node on the old vessel. This would let you have lots of surface-attached shipping crates pre-assembled, then attached to your base with a node.[1.3] - Modular Kolonization System (MKS)
