EVA Issues

[Utra]

Hi all, im kinda new to KSP since i found it ive been hooked, granted lol so far all ive been able to do is build things occasional orbit them and more often crash and kill my poor kerbalnaut's, i was having trouble docking ect to build a station (whenever i would try to decrease my speed on approach to target i would fall out of orbit lol) but with help from mechjeb i finally after almost a week of trying built me a large and shiny space station, trying to play it safe i build the station un-manned originally so no kerbals would die during construction.

Anyway... long story short stations built, just needs crew, one problem the 3 crew i have docked at the station need to eva to the stations crew hatch's and whenever i attempt an eva and my poor kerbal shoots off into space (or rather stays still as my station shoots off), ive tried about 30 times now, the second i enable the jetpack i loose control, what am i doing wrong? why does this game hate kerbals so much?

Hmm. Sounds odd. Usually, when you enable the jetpack the kerbal just rights himself and is fairly stationary. You holding a key down or something?

I checked again after you mentioned this, trying to be patient i pushed off after launching the eva, all of a sudden i was in control, i was about to come here and thank you when my second eva flipped out again, it turned out it was an issue with the jetpack causing it to collide with the ship the kerbal launched off causing it to bounce away.

So it was a collision bug lol, thanks for your advice it helped me figure the problem out.
