Stage lock staying with craft

[saskwach]

Stage lock, as implemented right now, is not the most useful of features. It applies to the game instead of the vessel, so if I lock my interplanetary probe and switch away to a new launch, I have to unlock staging. Then, when I switch back to my interplanetary probe, I'll accidentally hit the stage button and blow the thing in half with most of its fuel unattached to the probe core. Then comes the wailing and the lamenting and the tearing of clothing. Anyway, my point: stage lock is a great feature that should be a property of vessels instead of a property of the whole game.

Bump. I also like this idea. As well as adding the ability to lock specific stages while in the VAB/SPH.

You can disable staging on some parts in the VAB via right-click, but I agree being able to lock and unlock individual stages both in the VAB and in flight would be a nice UI adjustment.
