Ship Deletion Below Time Warp 1x Altitude


Recommended Posts

After a series of incredibly dumb failures exploring the Jool system in career mode (ranging from not executing landing burn soon enough, aerobraking too hard, running out of fuel, time warping fails . . .) I finally decided to get it right.

I was at my first destination, Bop, and had lowered my orbit nice and low--so low that it required 1x time warp (I believe this is significant). However, it was in a perfectly reasonable, stable orbit.

I had to orbit just a half orbit more, and figured I'd switch to the KSC and warp ahead. But when I looked in the planetarium, I couldn't find my beautiful spaceship. It had been eaten!

I believe the relevant factor is the altitude. The orbit didn't intersect Bop (and the ship disappeared exactly when I loaded the KSC), but I had been switching around just fine at higher altitudes before.
