Thanks for letting me know other mods that are having problems. I am currently using a mix-matched versioned mod set because this is for a youtube series. I did not exactly have the time to wait around for everything to get updated properly due to my video schedule. Everything has been working 100% ok in game with other mods, and EPL has never caused a problem until this. It is strange that pausing the build and switching a kerbal around caused such a break.
I have not tried it yet because I want to avoid doing more damage, but is this a bug that would only effect that one craft or is every EPL craft now broken?
