HI re ablative kerbals, the answer is yes, you can apply an ablator to @PART[kerbalEVA] But the ablator resource weighs 1kg per unit, and kerbals are very sensitive to COM and mass changes, simply moving a kerbals COM can render them incapable of proper movement, and simply adding a few grams has interesting results.
  If you wanted to go nuts, a patched in  ablator module with fanciful numbers, and a custom  much lighter ablator resource would probably get the results you desire

Anyway, I may do more stupid stuff like this. Anyone will download it if I upload it here?

I like the idea and was just posting how one would go about the MM patch.

In fact, I will probably be adding something like this to my own game's kerbal eva patch.

The MM patch in question will probably be somewhere public (if you know where to look) in the next day.

Topic title made me imagine a ship with Kerbals lashed to the front for use as heatshields ala Reavers in FireFly. What you actually meant is a good idea but still, am disappoint.

doesn't mean you can't do it with KAS and / or KIS! or even just kerbalseats! Nothing shows up in a search.... surprised noone has done that yet...

It most certainly has been done many many times, but it's such a just for laughs thing, that many probably never think to  make a big deal about it  Plus the reducing of Kerbals to mush, spaghetti, pixels just for  fun is frowned upon by the majority of forum users ( who seem to think it's a serious space game)

Now that looks like something Jeb would love to do!

PS - SGEx frowns heavily on ANY possible loss of Kerbal life or limb.

I started keeping this as a permanent MM cfg file so didn't loose KIS settings accidentally.

Updated it to add a KH to all seats, JIC accidentally become Lost-In-Space and need to freefall from Orbit. Will see if works with this ball of life. :)

 

Probably needs some work - hasn't been working for me lately - but initially sound.

(included license because I hear people get in trouble for not including it - so it is the JIC license.)

got ENIAC fired up, was an old mod I was trying to play with (VNG - FrementGUI) that was causing all the issues.

The patch works, 'Goldenball' shows in part list, but not in KIS Pod inventory. I have the part name right, so trying different part names to see if that is the issue.

:) nicely done!

ALSO

might be a starting place for a texture. Just remember to obey the license, and give accreditation.

Here is the MM patch to add to every (new) pod's inventory:

Spoiler 

@KISConfig:FINAL
{ @Editor { @PodInventory { addToAllSeats = KHS01 } }

Credit goes to @TonkaCrash for fixing the patch. Thank you!

 

Issue had was that the part name didn't seem to want to work with the patch, so I ended up renaming the part.

Spoiler 

// create copy and rename to KHS01
+PART[kerbal_heatshield]:FINAL
{
	@name = KHS01
	@TechRequired = start
	@category = Thermal
}

// hide the original part
@PART[kerbal_heatshield]:FINAL
{
	@name = kerbal_heatshield
	@TechRequired = Unresearchable
	@category = none
}
