Weak ASAS units

[Reavermyst]

Ugh... I know it's probably a problem with my own design, but why is it that my ASAS always breaks off when a Kerbal so much as sneezes on it? Most notably, it's the large Stock ASAS unit that even LOOKS flimsy. it always collides into something and breaks on launch and it's kind of frustrating!

Anyone see this as an issue? Or is it just me?

Post a screenshot of the ship please.

The big ASAS is notorious for having no structural value. Moar struts!

Well, ASAS is a brain of the ship. Like any brain it's fragile, and needs to be protected from hostile environment. Which means pretty much everything .

Never had a problem like that. How about some pics of the problem designs?

well I never bothered taking pictures of it, I ended up removing the item completely and replaced it with the smaller ASAS unit and sat it on top of my lander can xD

That's the way to do it. I never bother with the large one any more. If I don't want it on my upper stage, I radially attach smaller ones to the fuel tanks.
