First of all, my apologies for necroing this thread, but I just had this exact same Kraken strike last night in v1.02. Has any headway been made to solving this or figuring out what it is from? If the bug is saved to my persistence file, then does this mean that my entire save file will be buggy from now on, or just this single ship? Am I forced to restart if I want to enjoy this game properly now? Details: KSP v1.02 Stock. I had built a ship to mine an asteroid in orbit around Kerbin. It contained a Claw, fuel tanks, engines, and mining equipment. It launched fine the first time, but I realized that I should have waited for a better launch window to help match orbits. I reverted the flight and time warped for approx 52 minutes. When I went to launch again, something at the top of my craft was frozen/fixed in place at the launch pad. I reverted a few times and kept trying. If I time warped prior to launch, it would stick in place. If I didn't time warp, it would fly no problem. I eventually went to the vehicle tracking station to do my time warp, then to the VAB to launch. Doing this worked fine. It launched properly and got into orbit. I then set a maneuver node and tried to time warp to it. The ship stayed frozen in place while the maneuver counter continued to count down and all other ships in orbit moved as normal. Once it got to zero, it then wouldn't let me time warp again, saying that the ship was under acceleration.
