Rocket non-explodiness

[itsme86]

Is it just me, or is 0.20 a lot more forgiving in the rocket-falling-apart-during-ascent arena? Don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining! Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I seem to be able to get away with a lot fewer struts, and a majority of the time with no struts at all!

The resulting lower part count in conjunction with the optimizations in this version mean I've had a completely lag-free experience so far.

I have felt that it has been less forgiving. trying to put a skipper in serial with a mainsail causes horrible horrible things for me for some reason.

Yea its been a lot smoother for me too. I could've sworn my rocket last night was going to come apart. Thing was quite the wobbler. But amazingly it held together and got the job done. Even with stock struts..

To add confusion, I have noticed no change at all. Go figure

[WhiteWeasel]

Mine seem to be a bit more explody...

[Kerbface]

From the comments above I think I can conclude with reasonable certainty that chance and varying rocket design is the cause of whatever people are experiencing

Same rocket than 0.19 (was working) is not working in .20 (exploding during assent)

I've found that if I switch to a ship with the new engine on it with the ]/[ keys, it explodes. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

[Pursuedtank]

I have found It to be slightly less forgiving, to no change at all.

I've had a lot of times where a stack of tanks+engine will unexpectedly decide to forge its own path in the universe, ie. break off... Maybe it'll just drop off before launch, or it might turn into a missile during ascent.

There won't be any "connection failure" events in the mission log, either - just "X collided with Y". It's been happening frequently (more than in 0.19.1) and non-repeatably enough that I'm wondering if there was a major adjustment to the physics, maybe even a bug.

I find that my rockets are exploding a lot more but that could just be my incompetence in building new launch vehicles (I was quite dependant on SubAssembly Loader previously)
