A way to disable "Auto-Control From Here" when IVA of a probe-powered ship

[Benie]

I have this little thing;

The design is to get a specific Kerbal from a specific planet to a ship that orbits the planet (why the docking port is there).

But I got a question. I want this ship to be probe-powered, so the Kerbal doesn't have to control it when going IVA in the lander can (I wanted a smaller habitation module, so this is the best I got). Unfortunately by doing so, the game assumes that I want to control the ship via the lander can (as it is a command pod).

Is there anyway to override this, to keep the probe the one that controls the ship?

This also leads to a similar question. The ship that will be orbiting that'll (hopefully) be capable of going from Laythe to Duna and back, will have a Mk3 Cockpit to control the craft. On the back, I want to have a PPD-12 Cupola Module. Both are command pods. This'll be where my Kerbal that comes from this rocket, can watch the stars as he's being, chauffeured between planets.

With him going IVA, will the game think again, he's the one controlling the ship, or will it see the Mk3 cockpit being the one?

As soon as you'll go IVA, the craft will assume you are controlling from there, there's nothing you can do about it sadly.

no matter what you do, when you IVA you will take control from that kerbal. That is how you would always expect it to work.

Thanks, guys. I was hoping there was a way to bypass. Hopefully in a future version, there would be.
