Locking EVA Hatches

[Pugspaceprogram]

Let's face it; we've all lost at least 1 kerbal due to putting them on EVA, and then they can get back to the capsule and so on. I have devised a plan: When we click on the hatch of a crew module, we can have to option to 'lock' it or 'unlock' it. This way, we could attempt to put a kerbal on EVA when the engine is firing, and we would not be able to leave. We could even get the message: 'Hatched locked, cant EVA'.

Cheers.

How exactly would this solve the problem you were talking about? Also what's the point kerbals don't EVA unless we explicitly tell them to anyway.

He's probably searching for a solution of accidentally clicking EVA instead of IVA. If this happens during high speed atmospheric flight your Kerbal is ripped off the ladder and usually lost for ever.

Correct. This has happened to every KSPlayer i know. It is also how i accidentally lost Pug Kerman.

That has never happened to me before. Just learn to click what you want to click, lol.

FYI, pressing V will toggle between IVA and Flight cameras.

EDIT: C will toggle views, V toggles between cameras.

Indeed it does. IF you're already in IVA view. If your still in exterior view it cycles through the various external cameras.

C is your best friend

Whoops, I meant C. V toggles between camera modes.

EDIT: dang ninjas!
