Different size crew compartments?


Recommended Posts

@Lisias That restriction may have an association with the issue of number of seats in the IVA space (when one exists). If you up-scaled a crew part and CrewCapacity increased, where will the extra kerbals appear? Players might go looking for them and then complain about that, in which case it's good that this restriction exists. Also... "Tweakscaled IVA space." Think about that for a minute.

But, so, KSP should enforce the cap by the numbers of IVA seats. If you mangle the "crewSize" of the part on the prefab, you will be able to add more crew than available seats on the IVA. Assuming the part has an IVA, of course: not all of them have one or just reuse some default ones from KSP - so this arbitrary limitation is pointless.

A pesky pop up warning that "not all Kerbals will be shown on IVAs due lack of seats" would accomplish the same (prevent the user to expect to see extra Kerbals) and would not hinder the modding scene, not to mention saving us the need to brute force our way using Harmony - and this is something that can fire backwards, as make things pretty harsh to diagnose when something goes down trough the tubes.
