Seabase aka "Why do you get sick on water but not in a spaceshuttle??"

[Broco]

I tried to make a useable seabase in addition to my space station at Laythe and thought: "Maybe it's a good idea to test it first.", and so I did:

After a smooth landing (parachute-aided) it was swimming like a charm.

So far so good, but then I wanted Jeb to take a walk around on that platform I built.

That was the moment when I found out that Kerbals get sea sick. Why did noone tell me? You shoot them into space, they go extreme EVA on Minmus but standing on a floating object? No Sir!

No seriously guys, I cannot get the Kerbanauts get up to walk after they leave the craft and fall on the platform. Any hints? This is not an control issue.

This is because vessels landed in water have a "Splashed down" rather than "Landed" status assigned to it - Kerbals cannot walk on vessels that have splashed down.

Try the Sea Sickness Cure mod - dunno if it has been updated to work with 0.21+, though.

But thanks alot.

Eh, it still uses only stock parts so I'd still call it stock.

It's not like a craft isn't stock just because you have Steamgauges installed or anything. They're just utilities.

Ok, I'll try it, thanks.

Was slightly disappointed. But good that I recognized it before I went to Laythe
