Question Some questions regarding SSBB and such

[Jake]

Ok, so the general idea of being able to build my very own space station gave me a raging boner. So I downloaded the SSBB and SSBB/dragonfly Payload addons. Apart for some weird bugs (like new cargo bays appearing every time I loaded the scenario and the payload contents piling up under the ship at the same time) everything worked fine. However, when I beamed a tank from the payload editor to the payload bay, I found out that I can't fill it with fuel. The scenario editor shows the tank is filled, I save the thing, but when I look again it's actually empty. I know you can't refill the XR's tanks with the scenario editor, but the same goes for SSBB stuff? If so, how do I fill it, do I need to edit some cfg or ini somewhere?

Another thing I wish to know: How do you add to the station modules that have only one docking slot (manipulator arm comes to mind)? I mean, I grab that slot with the dragonfly, how do I place it on the station? Or do I need to let that module float in space and push the entire assembly to "dock" with it?

While at it, what other addons/modules can be used to build your own station? (aside from SSBB).

Cheers.

I found that when you load a fuel tank in the XR5 that tank will be used first by the XR5. If you look at the fuel gauge it will be in two different shades. If I want the tank to be full once reaching orbit I load it with the Universal Cargo Deck.

And I use a URMS on the Dragonfly to dock the modules with only one docking port on it.
