Lot of dead kerbals since .20

[Nicoli]

So has anyone else been having issues where if you don't start with a command pod, when your rocket starts failing you end up stuck "controlling" some worthless part as your guys go plummeting into the planet/moon even though you could save them? I've had this happen a few times since this patch where something goes wrong then every time I try and switch to the capsule it refuses because "can switch to a target about to crash" or "Ship unable to switch under acceleration."

Nope, haven't experienced this problem.

As long as you make sure your initial part is part of your final vessel, you should be fine in terms of not switching randomly.

Yeah, that's what I figured out. Problem is that didn't work out with my idea of making several "lifters" and then slapping the payload on top as needed.

Do you set to "control from" the capsule that contains your kerbals before launch?

Everything i launch is a lifter with a payload on top and i know the problemlem, but doing asas Brotoro said works.

Did the control from bit before I launched and still followed a fuel tank instead of the capsule.
