Yeah, good guess. I think some sort of time warp issue (like the heat) is a very likely culprit. Sadly interstellar missions without a time warp would require me to build an actual stasis chamber for myself. Let's hope somebody cracks this in future updates (be it this one or Kopernicus)

I've got a weird problem with engines. Sorry if this has been brought up already - the thread is long and I got all blurry-eyed while trying to read through it.. Both the arerospike and vaccuum bell engines are totally awesome for interstellar travel, but every now and then weird thing happens - the engine's reactor (not the engine itself) starts consuming a HUGE amounts or fuel. A "whole tank gone in five seconds" huge. When it happened for the first time I managed to fix it by reloading, but since then it's a show stopper, the only way to get rid of it is to terminate the mission and start over. Which kind of sucks when I'm two R/L das into a mission (I don't use the warp mode, so burns take hours) Has anybody encountered this or is it some local issue (a mod conflict, probably, although I did take care and don't use any with known conflicts) Also, as a side note (and probably also something mentioned here before (sorry)), the aerospike engine is not in the tech tree so it's missing from science/carreer modes.

Yeah, the main problem with KSP is that there is too much stuff about it all over the internet and the game has been out for so long that simply googling a problem doesn't usually work because it either gives you a million antithetic answers, or it gives you one, but six years old.

YES! Thank you, that does the trick. In my 300+ hours in the game, I haven't noticed this key (I guess it's the one others refer to as "backspace")

Yeah, I'm starting to suspect it might be one of the mods that acts like it's okay but have some secret non-descript problem with the newest update. That's the only possible explanation I'm going to try to find out which one it might be. Tomorrow, probably. I'm kind of done for today. Thanks anyway. At least I know it's specifically me and not the update.

Yes. I am controlling the ship. When I press "M" I return back to it. It's just that in map, when I target a planet (to fine-tune my approach trajectory, for example) I can't Tab my way back to the ship. I have to stay focused on the planet and control my ship from there. Or switch to a different planet that is closer to my ship so I can see better. It drives me nuts. I don't know what "corresponding tab" means, though. (EDIT: Ah, yes, if by "corresponding tab" you mean if I have the visibility of ships turned on in the upper thingy where you can switch various types of objects on and off then yes, I do have the ships tab turned on (i.e. I can see the ship icon on the map))

This is probably my own stupidity, but I'm playing for the first time after the last update and I can't re-target my ship for some reason. The backspace key that I've read about somewhere never worked for me, but I was always able to "return" to my ship by flipping between system objects by Tab and Shift+Tab until I found my ship. Now the Tab flips only between planets and my ship isn't in the list. I've also searched the key bindings and didn't find anything. I would appreciate any kind of suggestion. :| Thank you!

Edit: Nah. It was a bug unrelated to this mod. Sorry about that. What a great first post. Well done me.
