[nanke jeb]

hello guys 

i’m new here and not good at english

recently i found, if B vessel docked at A vessel, after disconnecting , B vessel’s name was changed, became to another A 

and the time of vessel also was cleared, start count again from 0year 0day 0hour

what should i do before disconnect the dock, to prevent that rename happen

See this article about vessel naming. It allows vessel B to resume its name after undocking.

when youy dock it depends on the ship that is in control usually its the one you  are controlling if your using the so called kiss method. IE lining both ships up and than thrust one ship forward. its usually that ship. not I said usually we are talking kerbal here since your new its easier on you it was at one time you ended up with the dreaded debris on one ship with kerbals inside you would delete it and bam kill all kerbal inside but now when you undock it turns into a probe so all you need to do is rename it it will be name like Mun ship probe. just remember you can have 50 ships with the same dam name gets confusing keep that in mind especially doing carrier. do sandbox for awhile than do science and carrier. good luck and kerbal on

You can just simply right click the vessels probe core and rename

From my experience, this usually happens when you undock in different order than dock. If you dock A to B and later dock AB to C, the game sometimes gets confused when you undock B.

This also happens when you just think you undock the same vessel, but you don't. Let's say you deliver a tank T to your station S with your rocket R. You then dock S with TR and later undock R from STR. This is a different link. And if TR came straight out of the VAB, then this link doesn't know anything about names.
