Went to view an ejected engine in orbit, but now cant go back to my basegoingtomun

This new absence of "End flight" is starting to really get on my nerves.

Sorry I can't take screenshots, since I have to exit the game to get them

I am bringing a large mun base to the Mun with 5 kerbals in side. I accidently released four of my engines, but they stayed in place and it got me to go in trajectory to the mun. Once I was in the correct trojectory, I started my other engines and let the nuclear engines just keep going as they went around in circles

I wanted to see if they would stay as space debris, so I looked around at em looking at their orbits. BUT I got too far away from the mun base which is flying towards the mun and now I cant select the mun base to control. The stupid excuse is "can't change ship while throttled up"

It won't let me change to the mun base because my completetly bare and empty seperated engine which I am viewing is still technically "throttled up" despite not having any fuel left or electricity

How do I throttle down this engine so I can control my mun base? It is heading straight for the mun with 5 kerbals I don't want to do this all over again just because of a stupid limitation

I looked in the cheat menu, I can't find any with electricity or whatever so I cant throttle down. Besides there are nobatteries on that engine. I can't go to space center, because it will revert the flight to launch. There is no end flight so I cant even get rid of the damn thing. The kerbal wrecking ball does not work in space, the balls are just appearing far away and just fall slowly to earth

how do I get back in control of my mun base

Hit X to cut the throttle (this works on debris) and the go to the space center and access your base from the tracking station.

oh hey it worked thank you!

oh, one more question if i may,

What makes a base a base?

My first mun base on the mun is labeled a "ship" on the space center but I noticed there is an icon for "bases"

How do I make it so my mun base is labeled as a base rather than a ship?

You right-click the command module and press change name =)

While controlling your base in flight mode, right click on the command pod or probe core, and select 'Rename Vessel'. You can then rename your craft and change the map icon.
