How much a Kerbal weight?

[FellipeC]

I just wonder if the same capsule with 1 or 3 kerbals weights different. If does, how much does a Kerbal weight?

Well they do weigh something. I had a very small rocket. It was about 1 or 2 tons. I placed and External Command seat on it and place a kerbal asymmetrically The rocket flipped out of control with out SAS, I tried with out the kerbal and it flew perfectly. I am curious to know this myself.

90 kg if I recall correctly, but their mass vanishes when they enter a pod.

So they only weight when on a external command seat?

So they only weight when on a external command seat?

Exactly. They only have weight in EVA.

So they only weight when on a external command seat?

Yes, but only if in they're not moving in a gravitational field. Otherwise, they're weightless.

They have mass, though.

This needs to be be fixed.

Exactly .09375 tonnes (regardless of fuel state) when outside a pod, 0 when inside.

@kiwiak This seems to be fixed, I just experienced this during flight test with my WSH-500 craft. I have the craft designed with low power Wheesley Engines to give it a realistic effect.

Weight depend upon how many snacks they eat before takeoff, so it can variate ;-)
