I've had my fair share of Kraken attacks as well. The most recent one was with the Gyro Kraken. I was sending my ship out of Kerbin's inner atmosphere and heading to Minmus, as I haven't visited her in a while. But suddently, the Gyro Kraken nabbed the rocket with it's tentacles, and spun it out of control, wrecking everything but the Mk1-2 Pod and the adjacent Rockomax Brand Decoupler. Fortunately, Bill, Jeb and Bob were not harmed in the process, but casualties include several Kerbals being killed by the raining debris, $100,000 gone to waste, and a very angry Minmus for not recieving the scheduled visit.
