So, I'm doing a thing. And the thing is working pretty well... but not to the end I really wanted. I built a craft which launches kerbals a huge distance while in command seats. The thing is basically a multi-kerbal cannon. Trouble is, every time I stage the cannon... all 8 kerbals deploy their personal parachutes and I don't understand why. *I have not armed their personal 'chutes at any time during the boarding process. *I have not pressed "P," which I understand to be the default button to arm the 'chutes. *I have not found any possible way to intentionally stage kerbals' personal 'chutes. *On activating the cannon, I only need to stage; no other keys are pressed. *Control focus is always on the cannon, even though I aim the camera in the right-click menu at the "cannonball" kerbals. *This save is an unmodded sandbox game (with the exception of Kerbal Engineer Redux) Are kerbals' personal 'chutes automatically armed to deploy in a freefall scenario when your control point is not on them, or have I found a bug?

So far I'm loving KSP: MHE, but the game is crashing a lot for no apparent reason, along with the usual Windows *BER-LONNNGGG!* sound, but also I've noticed that after having used the personal parachutes quite a few times, they seem to no longer be a thing. I run my career modes on a strict hardcore policy. No saves, no reverting flights, no respawning Kerbalnauts. So, for instance, when I just now completed a mission to rendezvous in Kerbin orbit, I thought I'd have some fun bring down the capsule, and have the pilot parachute down along side the capsule. (After all, the IRL capsule I used involved ejecting out and parachuting down.) Eeexxxccceeepppttt, he popped out and no parachute dialog box option, nor the brown parachute box thingy on his back either. Is this a bug? (I tried to do something similar to this the other day and the game crashed shortly thereafter, so IDK if the two are related.) Is there a mechanic here I'm not understanding? I remember seeing them on my Kerbals during my Mün mission before whilst they were on EVA gathering a surface sample and planting a flag and the like. Thanks, LexieAssassin
