Do you love your kerbals?

[JIMMY_the_DOG]

Do you like your kerbals? I sure hope you do....

[YNM]

Hey now, you either kill kerbals or you don't kill them at all...

 

Will just say that giving them names is too much. Should've just been a registration number.

Staff is a stuff.

As any property it must be kept safe when possible.

Kerbals are not our slaves.... hmmm but they kinda are

[R-T-B]

I used to love them.  Then this happened to me:

[Misguided Kerbal]

I personally am rather attached to my kerbals and I try not to kill them. So far in my save I've only killed two kerbals who died while I was testing out a shuttle design.

Well, If I didn't have revert to launch/VAB then I'd be a kerbslautherer.  I dont mean to, but take for example  Jedsy kerman, who crashed a about 100 m/s ish

trying to land and terrain. Nose gear broke off and he was K.I.A. I am so sad when they..... die .....(sobs) that I have on Kerbal respawner.

I usually hate killing them. But sometimes I have to for example in upsilon you can't submit crafts if the crafts don't have four seats per kerbal.

[Wanwood]

I include extra seats for them, give them a launch escape system, redundant systems, extra ∆v, include life support, always include a way to return to kerbin or to the nearest station, and I even keep the G-forces low during launch and reentry
I'd say I look after them well

[Stormpilot]

I you don’t want to be angry, don’t read the hidden message.

Spoiler

I launch my Kerbals out of cannons, and put seats on missiles for them to ride.

Good.

I try to treat my kerbals as pets if you will, but then there is the occasional death

Except if it's a stock inventory...

 

A failed mission is still a bummer, though. It means 1) back to the drawing board and 2) if in career then that costed money.

[razark]

No, I don't "love" my Kerbals, and any allegation may be addressed to my lawyers!

[Kerminator K-100]

What's the statute of limitations again?

Until I find out, my lawyer recommends I say nothing.

Just now, JIMMY_the_DOG said:

all of them

[JIMMY_the_DOG]

I'm confused by what you mean, you mean the limitations of how much you like your kerbals?

From Wikipedia:

A statute of limitations, known in civil law systems as a prescriptive period, is a law passed by a legislative body to set the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated.^[1]

When the time which is specified in a statute of limitations passes, a claim might no longer be filed or, if it is filed, it may be subject to dismissal if the defense against that claim is raised that the claim is time-barred as having been filed after the statutory limitations period. When a statute of limitations expires in a criminal case, the courts no longer have jurisdiction. Most crimes that have statutes of limitations are distinguished from serious crimes because these claims may be brought at any time.^[2]

[JIMMY_the_DOG]

Oh. 

[Slam_Jones]

I can't claim to "love" them, but I do get a bit sad when they die.  Mostly because it means I failed the mission.

[Just Jim]

I seriously think the bigger question is:

"Do your Kerbals love you???"
