Debris shouldn't count as a vessel in atmosphere


Recommended Posts

am i the only one who tries to dock a shuttle to a station and winds up accidentally cycling to the debris falling out of orbit?

 

i keep hitting the wrong cycle button (or whatever the actual term is for it) and having to watch my first stage fall back to kerbin before i can go back to docking my vessel to my station. usually this occurs at the very end also, when I'm like 100 meters from the station and headed directly for it, i switch to the station to adjust its attitude and instead I'm locked to my debris 25 Km behind me and i have to watch it fall back before i can switch to station, by now solidly on the night side of kerbin with my shuttle miles off course.

 

so can we make it that debris doesn't lock you in the way a piloted vessel does?

 

can we move the limit to like 40km in stead of the 60's for what counts as technically 'within the atmosphere'?

 

can we go back to the hard limit of 2.3 km to prevent this nonsense?

 

is it my own fault and i have a setting i can change and i should shut up about it?

Good suggestion. Maybe [ ] could default to switching between anything with a probe core/cockpit/crew capsule, and SHIFT + [ ] for anything else.
