Crew Manifest

[WMC]

Hi all,

Was wondering, how do you alter the number of Kerbinauts on the ship? Was trying to do a Rescue Scenario, so wanted to launch one of the capsules that could handle 7, but only have 2 on it at launch. Cant seem to find anything on it. Thanks, WMC

Try the addon Kerbal Crew Manifest. Very handy for exactly what you're trying to do.

Other ways to do it:

EVA out 5 of the kerbals before launch.

Build a ship with multiple capsules, only the first one gets loaded with kerbals unless you EVA more into it or use Kerbal Crew Manifest or something like it to populate the craft.

If you care about your Kerbals enough to be mounting rescue missions, you'll love the Kerbal Crew Manifest mod.

A lander can and two hitchhiker modules would do the trick; of course, that's 7.5 tonnes already. If you want a maximum of seven, maybe use the lander can as the main command module then attach a Mk-1 on top and the hitchhiker on bottom; that'd lower the mass to 5.8 tonnes. Are you trying to build a lander or a ship?
