Had the exact same problem a few days back - Unable to deploy chute while stowed - somewhere along that line. Never encountered before so i had a wee bit of panic at the disco time. Fortunately, i always have spare chutes which i only deploy if i see that the initial group of deployed chutes are not enough - never hurts to add 1 or 2 more chutes somewhere

Meron pa po ba naglalaro dito after ng 1.0 release?

WOW! Just as i said, i am still new to the game Didn't know that was possible! Thanks a lot guys for helping out, im marking this thread as ANSWERED!

Yes, you are correct about the Oxydizer part, after several more tests i found out that the Oxydizer gets drained way before i start my second stage. I made a few changes on my initial craft and tested a few more things, instead of 3 i now have 4 Reliants fueled by 2 FL-T800 tanks on top of each other. The first picture shows the Fuel and Oxydizer gauge right after i ditch my first stage, if you notice one FL-T800 only has 50% Oxydizer left which is strange because i haven't even activated the second stage yet - as indicated by my staging sequence on the left. And same with the EC, notice that its already drained a little of the total EC and i have not activated anything that would require EC yet. Any ideas why this would happen? Its never happened to me before so ill need to do some more tests to find the cause but if you can help suggest stuff that'll help a lot. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - On my first 4 retries, it is exactly the same ship and there would be no point making a new design when i know that the original design works fine and as intended - - - Updated - - - More stuff - found out that even before i launch the rocket the top FL-T800 tank only has 50% Oxydizer. No idea why, haha!

Mods, i have - KAS, KIS, KER, ScanSat, a few parts pack, asteroid day, alarm clock, near future (4x), station science, chatterer - not that much and no MechJeb and no RemoteTech. I havent even used a single part in the parts pack mod since my tech tree has not yet reached their levels (in career mode). Thanks!

To those that have replied so far, i appreciate all your suggestions but please do note that i have finished the first tourist mission with the exact same parameters as the second (the one that im running now) with exactly the same ship and there were no problems with that. So, no fuel line issue, no battery issue, just plain engines stopping midburn and losing EC I'll be home in a while and when i do ill get those screenshots and possibly a video if i can manage to record, haha! Thanks!

Thanks for responding As for you questions, first, i dont have any probes and reaction wheels installed or any EC requiring part for that reason. Right clicking on the engine doesnt show much other that "Nominal" and a zero Electric Charge, for what its worth, all parts/module show ZERO Electric Charge when this happens. No Ion engines though, haven't reached that far in the tech tree yet As for the alternators, yes, you are correct, they do generate EC when powered up and running and i did see them generating EC during these periods BUT as i stop my engines EC gets drained... slowly. I can see it go down from 41... 40... 39... 38... all the way to zero. And of course, i have to power them down when i create nodes and or drift/warp along my orbit. Do take note that i am basing all of these in Kerbin time and not real world time, because in KSP warping seems to make getting from point A to point B faster but essentially the same amount of time has passed, only faster - with this in mind you spend more Kerbin time idle than burning, which, as i stated before - my EC drains when engines are idle. And this i noticed in my fourth attempt because i let my craft drift along its orbit until all EC is drained then try to power up which i couldnt because there is zero EC. With regards to mods, i have - KAS, KIS, KER, ScanSat, a few parts pack, asteroid day, alarm clock, near future (4x), station science, chatterer - not that much and no MechJeb and no RemoteTech. Once i get home and start KSP ill post a pic of the ship with the necessary info so you guys can have a look at it and help me find out whats wrong Although, i am starting to think that it could be a bug/kraken and might just rebuild and/or redesign the ship. Thanks! PS - does staging/decoupling need EC? Never really noticed that and well, last night when i was drained of EC i can still release my stages without issue

I recently just started playing KSP, have about 80 hours+ of game play and still consider myself a newbie. The problem that i am experiencing now is that my engines stop functioning midburn - and by that i mean all engines, both 2nd and 3rd stage, and they wont start up again. Some background, i took 2 tourist missions that are exactly the same - orbit Kerbin, orbit Mun and orbit Minmus -, reason is, i had missions to fly by, orbit and collect data from both Mun and Minmus and told myself that i could take the tourists along and make more money out of the trip. So, i made improvements on a craft that previously used to orbit the Moon. First stage had 4 Skippers, 2nd stage with 3 Reliants and the 3rd stage with 1 Reliant - combined Dv is around 5k (which is actually more than enough). Now, here is where it gets weird (for me anyway), i completed the first tourist mission using the craft that i designed without any issues, all stages worked fine and was able to land safely on Kerbin again. Saved the game and proceeded to run the second tourist mission. Everything starts as per normal, i proceeded with my usual ascent profile (which i have to improve), completed an orbit around Kerbin and created a maneuver node for a Mun transfer. As i am burning my node for the Mun transfer (40 seconds+), midway my engines would stop working. It can't be a fuel issue because everything says i have fuel, i am puzzled, thinking that it might be some glitch or the game might be acting up i exited to my desktop and restarted the game. But lo and behold, same thing happens on my second and third retry. As checked what went wrong i noticed that all Electric Charges on all engines are ZERO, that goes for 3 Reliants on my second stage and 1 Reliant on the first stage. I tried ditching the second stage thinking it would solve it but no, same, engines wont start. As i try my fourth run on the mission, i noticed that my Electric Charge gets sapped slowly when my engines are IDLE, which i find weird because the only part on the ship that requires electricity is the Communotron16 and i haven't even activated that yet. Turning OFF/ON SAS and RCS doesnt help either. Im not sure, it has never happened before and dont know why its happening now, all along i thought Reliants didn't use Electric Charge. I haven't tried again after the 4th run, maybe i should rebuild the ship? Remove the Communotron16? Any ideas? Advise? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
