Weird bug with the Klaw

[Jeb x Valentina]

Hello dear kerbonauts.

Today, in my career KSP save, I was experimenting with a rescue ship with a klaw, probe core and empty pod, due to my awful skill with jetpacks and struggles during reentry of an Mk1 crew cabin and a pod.

Everything was running smoothly, until I grabbed the target. There were no IVA portraits. I then desperately right clicked the Mk1 crew cabin (In which the kerbonaut was supposed to be) and surprise, she was alive. Transferring her solved the bug.

Hi @Jeb x Valentina

 

When I first read your post my thought was hit f5 then f9 to force a reload.

Or go to the space center and comeback in. Same difference.

But you solved it well enough.

One would have to recreate the bug to see if it is consistent or a one off.

Perhaps when they did the debugging it never occurred to them to try an empty ship docking to an inhabited one.

So a little coding might be necessary but this late in the game....Not happening.

Thx!

I'll recreate it in sandbox to see!

This and and some other weird phenomena are long known bugs in the module that gives the Klaw functionality. The outcomes are not consistant and seemingly random. Nobody who could fix these bugs has ever expressed an interest in doing so, so we are just stuck with them.

Hmm... Interesting. The good thing is that the bugs don't really affect anything important
