This is some sort of joke right?

The picture is referencing the heat/aerodynamics overlay. The Dv readout is from Kerbal Engineer.

I'm assuming you know that? If you are making a joke I must confess I'm not getting it at all.

I'm still wondering what would actually be the point of that.  It doesn't really add anything to the game.

Expand  

It does if you want full realism and have to manually move your kerbal from command pod to docked vessel, expecially if they give us some tubes and stuff or fuel tanks with internal passageways, or make all the not fuel equipped structural pieces double as passageways.  If you are going for a full IVA game, then being able to move from command pod of a docked ship, through the space station via passage tubes and into the science pod in order to relieve the kerbal there would make a lot of dreams come true, instead of the current method just click here, click there and bam your kerbals are relocated.

Moving kerbals manually is not "full realism," even though many against things being even slightly realistic would misrepresent realism this way. 

Expand  

Well it would enforce not being able to transfer them through girders and fuel tanks, and make it obvious why it was impossible.

Not that I'm championing it, but it IS a point.

I agree with having passageways, for sure. I'm just saying those of us who call for "realism" are not asking to have to manually move each kerbal to the bathroom, or work their arms to feed them, etc ;)

Disabling crew transfer (or any other kind of transfer) would be quite difficult, as the Claw links 2 ships into 1 as if you used docking ports. So, this Claw clone (Clawne?) would link the ships together as well.

And I for one wouldn't mind that. Crew transfer around ships already allows you to go through girders and the like, why not allow transferring through fuel lines? If it bothers you, either don't do it or just assume you're taking a shortcut to doing the busy work of getting out, clambering around, and getting into the other ship.

Expand  

In fact it is already possible to limit this kind of  crew transfert,

this mod prove it:

I like it, though I won't use it much.

I'd be much happier with it if there was a way to only have it happen to windows.

Actually it entirely depends on the model design. Stock models were designed to show cutaway. Some modders already made their pods and cockpits have only windows transparent with this feature on.

Hm. If they're just defined areas maybe we can un-define them. And by "we" I mean someone who knows anything about how models work in Unity. :D

That's probably the task for Ven's Stock Part Revamp. Cutaway rules represent an overlay mesh with cuts in the model file. One will need to reimport the model into a 3D editor, tweak that mesh and do all the export procedures through Unity editor. Which is not a trivial task.

Working on a new version of RPM transparent pods that does exactly that. It's about 95% complete
