Time warp random explosions (Or how KSP become Michael Bay simulator)

[Sumimoto]

So, I was going to have a Rendezvous with my command vehicle. 2 km... 1 km... 0.5 km....EXPLOSION... WHAT?!

It happens to me 3rd time. Log says, that my vehicle is overheating.

Ok, I understand, that now we can overheat in atmosphere, But how can I overheat on 300KM orbit?

(PS: Love this "Blast awesomeness" line, )

Also happened to a Probe Core of one of my Rockets at an altitude of about 80km.

What was happening:

Probe Core was mounted on top of Command Capsula for a Rescue Mission.

On ascent Capsula got very hot around 1600° whereas the probe core had only a temperature of around 1000°. Due to heat flux and the considerable higher thermal mass of the capsula the heat was slowly transferred to the probe core reaching its overheating temperature which in return lead to overheating in higher orbits.

So check your temperatures on your craft

But the game is really missing some kind of extra information for this kind of explosions. Not even the flight log will tell you what happend....
