Kerbal Ejection seats

[Navyguy]

How cool would that be?! They would help alot of people save their Kerbals as well. Also sorry I think looking back this could be under the more parts thread.

Would be pretty cool, as long as the kerbal can have parachute

[Psycix]

Why not make them using stock parts?

Decoupler + Command seat + parachute (optional, recommended) + sepratrons (optional) = ejection seat!

[Navyguy]

I've done that same formula before. ...It deatached from the parachute when it deployed it's parachute.

definitely give us something to put into the abort action group.

There's a mod for this.

There's a mod for this.

and....he/she wants it stock. It's a suggestion. Starting by 0.1, there would be a mod for everything

that is not really it actually it would probably more of this

includes motorcycle and ejector seat

Personally I feel it would be better to make ejector seats only for MK-1/MK2/MK3 cockpits, and only allow it to be used in atmosphere. The ejector-seat would also preclude the kerbals getting back inside. For space capsules, you'll need to think up something on your own. Possibly also only make it safe to use below a certain speed.

Would make sense for ejection seats when tweakables are added.

Tweak each seat to RCSPack or Ejectionseat. Where Ejectionseat replaces RCSPack with a small solid rocket (for zero-zero ejects, with thrust vectoring), and a Kerbal Parachute.

Now that I think about it, the Kerbals could ALWAYS be in ejection seats in-atmosphere. And the EVA could always wear the RCSPack. Ejection seats are a one-way abort anyhow.

I think you should be able to use them everywhere:being in vacuum don't prevent you of firing rockets.

Of course, it might not be a good idea, but you should be able to do it anyway.

Ejector seats would make the Gemini and Vostok mods more realistic, and back-up/replace Launch Escape Towers

[Roderik]

its a great idea just in some command pods ejection seats otherwise they are in a mum of time dead
