Parachute Safety

[Minimalist]

Is it possible to modify the parachute icon in the staging display to indicate whether it's safe to deploy?

I guess there would have to be 3 states: Unsafe, Risky and Safe. Maybe a red, amber or green (or no) background on the icon?

At the moment I'm right-clicking over a 'sacrificial' chute to determine when to deploy

It already has different colors to it. Yellow means something like "can't do it yet because we're moving upwards".

Your idea of visual indication is very good, though.

I agree. The biggest failing in 1.0.4 is the lack of information about how fast is too fast to pull the chute.

Though I'm biased, I think the biggest failing in KSP in general is the lack of information about just about everything.
