Reserved for FAQ

What is a 'Universal Docking Mechanism?"

Your Universal Docking Mechanism Consists of a Merge Block, a Connector, an Airlock System, and does NOT permanately bind the separate grids together.

The ones that have been used on all (applicable) fleet ships thus far; the consistent docking system your fleet uses to connect to each other.

Yeaaaa... I guess I never incorporated anything like that since I didn't bother with the whole fleet thing. I guess it doesn't apply to me then lol

It applies.
Your Universal Docking Mechanism Consists of a Merge Block, a Connector, and an Airlock System.
For an example of what I have been using please refer to here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=843488862

When I said that it probably doesn't apply to me I was refering to the universal fleet wide part. lol. I have literally just one ship that I entered since the fleet portion of the contest began, and it's a small ship so it can't exactly dock other than through the use of a connector. :D

I gotta include 6 identical docking ports, merge block, connector, airlock system. Gotcha. Thanks for the info :)

So if I don't have any other ships assembled using any kind of docking mechanism should I just wing it so long as it meets the requirements for the docking mechanism? If I get this complete this will be my first entry into the contest.

Yes, that's right. If you don't have a previous entry to match it to. Make a system for your own use.

I assume you won't provide a world with the mods preloaded, so lazy guys like me don't have to look through the mods himself? :P

Are we suppose to attach or dock any of the previous contest fleet ships, and/or is it possible to include the mods for any or all of those ships, such as the mods for the #37 small block dropship, or is the colony ship suppose to be empty?

Now, to decide if I want my croypods on a spinning rotor or on HW Mothership-style undockable/dockable trays.

Also, no cargo requirement? Is the support fleet supposed to handle all of the cargo?
