weird bug - cant move ship and its accelerating

[Callmedave]

So i put this into orbit as i had some 'recover part from orbit' contracts, there are three 'grabbers' pretty basic claw, probe, baterry, solar, mono, a few thrusters and a load of chutes.

i uncoupled the first, got the part in orbit and succesfully de-orbited it. undock the second grabber set the manouver node and now i cant rotate it, i cant warp as it says the ship is under acceleration, i cant switch to a ship as it says its under acceleration.

I was able to repeat this thanks to a quick save.

Has anyone else had this?

Mods are just KER and Alarm and Docking port alignment.

It's grabber-related stuff.

The Claw seems to be still a Kraken-bait. I don't use them at all since Claw usage leads to corrupted saves, broken universe and all the bugginess.

Yeah, it's the claw. It's horribly buggy, and has been so since forever.

Even worse: once it triggers a problem, it horks the game in a way that re-loading a save doesn't help: for example, "oh gosh my ship is accelerating... load a save... go to another ship that doesn't even have a grabber on it..." will still be bugged. The only way to un-hork the game is to exit KSP completely and re-start.

The claw is so buggy that I've just given up on it completely; I love the idea, but the implementation is so broken that it's just not worth the misery. I don't use them for anything, ever, and if that means I just have to ignore asteroids and "recover item" contracts completely, so be it.

Same.

Don't worry though, they'll fix it before they releas..... oh. :/

Yep that save is borked! my space station does the same.

BUT! due to 1.0.4 being released, I have a game back up of just before I launched this mission! Will restore to this and delete that craft and not use any more claws!

I knew they were buggy, but i thought it was only when you had were on an asteroid.

Thanks Guys.
