Command Pod

[Kialar]

Good day, everybody.

When I designed my first 0.22-Rockets yesterday, I stumbled over the following:

As soon as I added a command pod to the design, a "command pod"-symbol came up in the staging area.

And now the question: What does the pod do, when it comes to the point where it is staged?

Nothing - for me at least.

Maybe it has to do with some techno-babble-reasons or is deemed more user friendly - or to support future reentry heat mods/updates?

[Dogface]

yeah, same question.

In some of the demo videos they could assign the lab and specimen containers to staging to get automated readings, this was dropped and I guess the command modules are a leftover.

I think it is part of development:

When you click on pod u can do reports/ eva and you can transmit report.

Use a 3 kerbin pod and 3 pod symbols r there.

I am sure Squad will add more heat shield/ tech as ksp grows.
