Element

An element is a docked component of a Vessel. When you dock several vessels together to create one larger vessel, you can obtain the “chunks” of the larger vessel organized by which original vessel they came from. These “chunks” are called elements, and they are what the Element structure refers to.

A list of elements from the vessel can be created by using the command:

list elements in eList.
// now eList is a list of elements from the vessel.

Each item of that list is one of the elements. The rest of this page describes the elements and what they do.

Note

Element boundries are not formed between two docking ports that were launched coupled. a craft with such an arrangement will appear as one element until you uncoupled the nodes and redocked
