Sure. As a reference, the biggest 1-meter fuel tank (FL-T800) becomes transparent and the entire vessel behind it is still visible, making it easy to see where you are placing the part. However with the orange fuel tank (Rockomax) everything behind the tank "disappears", except for the engine which is visible as a single part. And the biggest SRB makes even that disappear (SRB). I just find this to be an odd design decision.

Hi, long time player and rare poster here! For the longest time when mounting the Rockomax fuel tanks or any SRB on to a vessel, the part of the vessel obscured by said parts turns invisible (except some engines oddly enough). When placing other parts however the vessel stays the same with only the part you are going to place turning transparent. Is there a reason for this? Because when I build this is simply an annoying hindrance when placing parts that the Symmetry Mode can't handle or handles "wrong". And speaking of annoying when placing; Why do the radial decouplers have three snap-on points, or the big flat one having five? When not in Angle Snap Mode I sort of get it but in what situation do you need to place something at the edge of a radial decoupler? Wouldn't it be simpler/better to have only one snap-on point? I am genuinely curious if this is a concious decision (and in that case, Why?) or if it simply is an oversight that older players like myself have have become used to and therefore don't notice anymore.

I fully agree. Also the font headline for science being reviewed should be more visible. I'm ashamed to admit it but it took me close to three hours before I spotted the name above the report ("EVA report in orbit above Kerbin Grasslands" and so on). The font in the notes is bigger than the one in the headline, for goodness sake! But I really do like this update!

Nevermind, I realised what I did wrong. Having the experiments open on re-entry seemed wrong to me so I used the 'reset' button to close them. I figured reset meant in the meaning of reset the doors/close. Of course it doesn't, it means reset everything to zero, including the experiments. Well, lesson learned.

I had a similar problem today. I launched a rocket with 4 Mystery Goo Containment Units and 2 Science Jr beneath a Capsule. During the launch I observed the MGCU:s at different altitudes and saved the data. I also observed 1 Science Jr at 600km and 1 at 80km and saved that data as well, including a Crewreport and 2 EVA reports. My craft landed safely on Kerbin Grasslands where I took a sample, went back into the Capsule and recovered the craft. All I got out of it was a crewreport, 2 EVA reports and the sample. Nothing from the MGCU:s or the Science Jr:s. I had previously done a similar mission where I transmitted my findings back to KSC but the "science-thing" said 'Science value 20". Does this not mean that only 20% of the data gets recieved/ is useful? Don't I get more science for returning the craft to KSC? I'm confused.
