A 'Deactivate Command' option for command modules and probes

[kerbonaut101]

This would essentially turn the command module and the rest of the vessel into debris, allowing you to revisit it later if you want either recovering it, encountering it or just pressing the 'reactivate command' option to convert it back to what it was if you need to use it again, rather than just deleting it from the game via the 'terminate'. This would help to clean up the tracking station view by not displaying things you dont want to use anymore but may want to preserve for posterity, especially usefull during the late game when things can get a bit crowded with old vessals, stations and probes

Can't you already do this via the "Rename Vessel" window?

If anything, I suppose you'd be looking for a new option in that window, "Vessel on standby" or something like that.

1: In the top-middle of both the map and tracking station screen is a pull down menu. Clicking the various icons will either add or remove them from the visible list.

2: When renaming a ship you can not only change the name but also the type of craft.

Combine 1 and 2 and any craft can be visible or hidden at will at any one time. You can even change name and type from the tracking station by clicking the name in the info screen on the right hand side of the screen.

I thought this was saying that you should be able to do "control from here" as a custom action and I want that so bad.

This is however buggy. Often in flight you can't press the buttons in the map view so you have to back out to the tracking station.
