Space station - Moving Kerbals to other capsules via EVA

[groom]

Hello,

new here!

I built a huge space station, 12 or so Kerbals are on board. Now I docked a new module. It's an empty Mark 1-2 capsule. I cleared it off Kerbals before liftoff and controlled the Vessel remotely. I want to use this thing as a return system. I can transfer Kerbals to this Capsule via EVA now. Whenever I undock, the Kerbal disappears, though. As soon as I undock, he is gone and not part of the new vessel. As long as the Mark1-2 is part of the station I can choose my Kerbal and get him out without a problem.

So you're saying that you connect the Mk1-2 to the station, EVA a kerbal to it, then undock from the station, and he no longer shows up in the Mk1-2?

Try right-clicking the exit door and see if he's there. Sometimes their portraits just disappear.

If that doesn't work, go to the tracking station, select the vessel, then select the 'crew' button, check if he's there.

If he's not, i have no idea...

Make sure that the kerbal is inside by clicking the right pointing arrow button at bottom right screen, right next to all the kerbal cams.

Probably this.

The only explanation I can think of is that by controlling the vessel remotely (I assume probe) it isn't showing up the crew portraits for the pod. If that's the case, right clicking on the pod and clicking "Control from here" will show the Kerbals. Maybe.

If kerbal is gone when you undock,click [ or ] or switch to the escape ship ^^

That did the trick, thanks. If I switch to the vessel via the tracking station, the Kerbal reappears.
