Mark 1 Cabin exploding o_O

[0x7be]

I'am trying to build a Dyna-Soar-like space plane on top of rocket, but my attempts came to halt. The reason is that it explodes as soon as it reach ~175 m/s.

By experimentation with different parts and configurations I came to conclusion that culprit part is Mark 1 Command pod. If I replace it with Mk-1 Command Pod everthing is fine.

Ok, Mark 1 can be weaker than Mk1 (after all it is just aircraft cabin), but I couln't find any hint in any documentation that it is intended behavior.

So, my questions are:

1. Did you ever encountered such behavior of Mark 1 Cabin?

2. Do you consider it to be a bug or feature?

U have any mods like Deadly reentry or FAR? What does you G meter say upon exploding? press f3 the next time this happens, and let us know what it says.

No deadly reentry or FAR.

Could it simply be under to much stress and just break off?

Pictures would be nice

That's weird. My planes using this cockpit sometimes create plasma during flight - and yet there was no exploding cockpits.

OP have you tried adding extra struts as I have had cockpits snap off and cause the whole rocket to eat itself before now and extra struts do fix it (sad but true).
