Ejected Fuel and Engine Debris reported as a Relay

[Wader8]

I have some of the launching structure debris with a lot of fuel tanks and engines ejected that happens a few high-gain direct antennas on it, it is completely uncontrollable, comlpetely devoid if electricity, but some fuel tanks are not empty completely. It is obviously not connected to KSC.

But the system thinks it's a relay satellite.


EDIT: I think this is the wrong forum, shouldn't bug stuff go into Suggestions and Development ?

None of the forums has the kind of description suitable for bug reporting, I'm totally confused.

/me points to the antennas

that's what it's picking up. since it sees the antennas it thinks "oh, a relay." regardless of controllability or available power.

You can rename it to debris. As long as there is not a line going to kerbin, you have nothing to worry about.

Well okay, minor thing, but I'm not sure if renaming would change the classification, will see.

I still think minor things should be taken care of, if they add up it makes the whole game look bad.

The KSP bug-tracker is the proper place to report bugs

http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/issues?set_filter=1&tracker_id=1

Sadly the only links I can find to it in the forum are buried inside of posts in the 'Technical Support' forums...

Maybe just terminate it in the tracking station?
