SAS Not Working After Electricity Runs To Zero and Then Goes Back Up

[Kelvin Kerbin]

If I have a ship with a probe core and the electricity runs to zero (when the planet the ship is on rotates and it is "night"). When the electricity goes above zero (when the planet rotates and it is "day", it has solar panels) the ship comes back to life but the SAS doesn't work. The probe core will not hold the ship steady, nor if it's an advanced core will it show the buttons to hold the prograde/retrograde/normal/etc... directions.

I have the following Mods installed:

Kerbal Engineer

Hyeredit

Kerbal Alarm Clock

Is there a way to recover the probe core SAS functionality? Is this by design or is it a bug?

I believe this is intentional. SAS eats electricity and for larger ships with more reaction wheels, drain may be significant. It makes sense to start in "safe mode" after power loss in case you need power for control (ie. deplying forgoten solar panels).

Nah it's an old stock bug, quicksave then quickload should restore it.
