Radial exits for Mk1 Crew Cabin

[MrWilliam932]

Just that, I cant exit from a plane if i dont have a radial exit, I think this must be a hotfix instead of wait for the next big update.

I believe that is by design, you need to have a cockpit to have a radial exit. To exit you transfer the crew to the cockpit and then exit from there.

So, if I had 100 kerbals, Would I have to transfer them one by one into the command pod and then EVAing them again one by one?  I think its more easy to click EVA on the portrait and they EVA to the nearest exit they have acces

If your plans include a 100-seat ship, might I humbly suggest the Mk3 crew cabin instead?

 

I do like the idea of "EVA button = find nearest exit" though. That could save a lot of trouble in certain circumstances.

Yes. There was a discussion about this almost immediately after 1.0.5 came out.

I'd support a universal 'kerbals automatically appearing from the nearest available exit' solution, rather than a 'side door' on the mk1 crew cabin.  Apart from the fact that long row of doors on the side of a small plane would look a bit silly, it automatically covers cases where exits are blocked by a players ship design.

Yes, actually, I started that discussion in the past xD

I don't get it.  You don't climb on top of a 747 to board?

I don't know, I feel like a hatch on the roof wouldn't kill anyone, right?

This is KSP. We can find a way for it kill someone.
