The weirdest kracken yet!

[Loren Pechtel]

First, a Kerbal rescue went bad.  My Kerbal got flung away from the rocket at about 15 m/s, tumbling so badly that the system couldn't figure out how to cancel the spin.  The jets kept firing wildly, pausing a bit and then firing again.  Since there was no hope of recovery I reloaded to the save at the launchpad--and my rocket immediately headed up a couple hundred meters--the engines were not burning!  It tipped and started to fall, I reverted--and proceeded to fall into the launchpad about half it's depth, then head up.  Revert--fall half it's depth and there were rocket parts heading into the sky all over the place but no visible boom.  Revert to VAB and it's flown fine so far.

um...

okay, that's just weird.

It's not my first time with the unrecoverable spin but the rest is unlike anything I've seen before.

You can always recover spin by just clicking the 5x timewarp and then back to 1x again.

Duh!  I know it kills rotation but I never thought to apply that to an out-of-control Kerbal.

just goes to show how buggy the game is. Its the main reason I'm not playing it all much these days. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are not as buggy but frustrates me less.

Squad should be sued for releasing such crap.

Try releasing some of your graphics stuff. i find the game works much better with areodynamic affects at low
