Recognise Kerbals ingame.

[Loerelau]

Maybe it is a stupid question.

Quite often I have to go back to KSC to check what kind of kerbal it is (Pilot/engineer/scientist). Am I the only one that would like to see it in game (Or am I already able to see this?) ?

You don't have to go all the way back to the space center; you can check in the crew info button on the far right edge of the map screen (the view needs to be focused on your ship, of course).

The "Kerbal Inventory System" mod also displays each kerbal's job in his or her inventory window, if I remember correctly.

That being said, it would be nice to have, I don't know, different color uniforms or patches on the spacesuit sleeves or something.

Dmagic made a mod for it. There really should be a stock equivalent, I often forget what profession a Kerbal is.

Yes, you can go to the map page and find out. But really, it should be much easier. They could, for instance, color-code (or otherwise identify*) the names in the list that shows up when you click on a hatch. Usually the only time it matters is when you want to do an EVA or transfer a kerbal, so that would be the ideal place for it.

(*Color-coding works great except for people who are colorblind.)

A simple name and a symbol on the face screen wouldn't be enough?
