Rant warning: I'm trying to land a large plane and a lander on eve. Everything is the Mk3 and Big-S parts, so very good heat tolerances. I managed to land a smaller plane with the same lift/drag ratio, but upscaling it causes all sorts of weird effects - especially wings breaking off halfway through the atmosphere, sometimes without cause, sometimes due to structural failure, sometimes to G-forces exceeded (the plane is not rotating or anything). It feels like the game, when more parts are in play, tends to let things break esier if it struggles with the framerate and more complex parts (as in more partcounts). The aerodynamic forces are beyond what the game is designed to cope with. The forces acted upon my lander by the rear inflatable heatshield warped my craft - I had to reset the autostrutting to get the cockpit/top part aligned with the bottom again. There are no lander leg of the required sturdyness to land an eve lander - the engines are far better! The inflatable heatshield seems to be perfectly designed to keep a craft going sideways - you should not be required to build redicilous heat-shield parachute on top of the craft just to keep the correct end pointing towards space.

KSP version 1.2.2.1622. Windows 64 bit I was landing my spaceplane from orbit, coming in to the island runway from the west, where the island was sloped north for some reason. The ground there is also blue, probably because of 1/8 resolution textures. Anyway, I landed short of the runway, opened the chutes, and slid down the hill sideways at 1 m/s. I decided to use physics warp to go to the bottom of the hill faster. When I hit the water, the kraken attacked, the right wing immediately broke into pieces, and the spaceplane underwent RUD, leaving most of the body intact, but the engines and the wings were gone, though there were a few pieces lying around. The wings were autostrutted to root part and were using rigid attachment. The spaceplane only used stock parts. mods: Kerbal engineer redux Kerbal alarm clock Trajectories Kerbal attachment system Kerbal inventory system Formula one car parts pack(forgot the name, adds 9 colors of formula one car bodies, matching racing suits for kerbals, extremely OP wheels that I decided I would only use with the bodies they came with, and 2 tracks) kOS Texture raplacer

Hi I have a question about the Kraken bug, it had nothing mentioned about it in the big bad bugs,
