Kerbals can add parts in EVA

[TheAquired]

Hi all,

I looked to see if this has been suggested before, but it doesn't seem to have been.

So What I would love to see in game is the ability for kerbals to add parts on to ships, once they are in orbit or landed etc.

For example, I built a core for my space station and sent it up to orbit. I then sent up the next module, only to find after an hour or so of meticulously manouvering to get the module in position to be docked, that there was no docking port for it to attach to.

I had to pretty much just destroy both ships and start again from launch.

Not only would this feature remove a frustration, it would add an exciting element of gameplay.

To have a kerbal attach a part, you would have to build a special rocket for the job. A part, called the storage container (Or something like that), would have the ability to assign parts to "store" in it. ot just any part could be stored, only radial attachment type of things. AKA, no structural components or fuel tanks. (MAYBE engines, but that is pushing it. Probably not)

Then when you put your kerbal on EVA, you could click the storage container and get the kerbal to hold the part you want, then, similar to KAS, you could place it by showing a half transparent image of what the part will look like on the ship.

I'm looking forwards to your opinions, and suggestions

I strongly suggest you check out the Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) add-on by KospY / Majiir - the latest version comes with containers for storing actual parts, as well as the ability to attach/remove them while on EVA.

Wow! I did not realize KAS could do all those things! I will definitely add that to my mod collection. Well then I change my suggestion: Can the devs please make KAS part of the standard game?
