It's so massive I think it'd take quite a big "daughter-ship" to noticably affect its handling.The one problem I've had is that the Vespucci's killrot doesn't seem to totally stop its rotation. Even if it looks totally still, turning time acceleration on allows you to see its (very slow) rotation.This may just be a problem with Orbiter and its handling of big spacecraft... I seem to recall similar problems with the Agamemnon and one or two other very large ships from Orbithangar.
Doc: Hmm, maybe I have an old version of fuel management MFD. Or a new one?Or maybe it's what's causing the ramscoop problem (unlikely, yeah)

I tried using the ramscoop en route to Jupiter and even though my velocity is more than sufficient, I'm not getting any fuel from the ramscoop. Does the engine core need to be on? Or off? Or are the ships I have docked to it messing things up? Grr :won:Even if it works though it's always nice to have a little backup fuel to get you out of a scrape. I can't even remember how many times the RCS tank on the DGIII (or the shuttleA for that matter, though the DGIII doesn't need the fuel management MFD for this) has saved my ass
