Hi

I am okay with building the trusses and modules in space, but when I attach any solar panel to a truss, the entire station starts rotating very fast, and not even killrot can stop it (When building, I always dock to a module)

If anyone has the same problem, or knows how to stop this happening, please help

Thanks

I've had a similar problem with my space station, but it also involved the Tank101 propellant tanks and the BR101 radiators.

I've also noticed that this effect is absent when I have an XR5 docked to the station. My theory is that this is due to how Orbiter handles docking ports. If they aren't perfectly aligned when Orbiter decides to dock the vessels, a lot of angular moment is generated when they are forcibly aligned. An XR5 is a heavy vessel, so it damps this effect.
