Until everyone hired has one mission then repeat.

I know you can do it manually but I thought it would be nice if each time a Kerbal flys a mission, he was automatically put at the end of the que.

Yeah, I'd go for having a cycle, as right now it automatically puts Jeb as the pilot. This can get annoying if you set a pilot and change something before launch, it will re-default to Jeb. I love the guy, but he needs a break.

At least an option to cycle like this. I'd like to see new faces each time without needing to manually select them.

You can choose who is on board for every mission by clicking on the launch pad or selecting it on the "kerbal tab" when building... just take the half second to make a selection. Are we that lazy in preparing our missions that we can't do that? How long do you spend on building the craft and you can't take about 1-2 seconds more? Do you want the computer making a random selection or do you want the player making the conscious decision of who should go?

Don't waste any time on this feature that isn't needed. This should be about 500th down on the list in comparison to other requests.

It would be a great feature to have mission stats on your Kerbals. And as they gain experience they gain the ability to overcome mechanical issues. (that is, of course, if random mechanical issues are part of the game in later versions).

Also, if a new Kerbal flys a mission with an experienced Kerbal, they might get a bit more experience than they would with a totally "green" crew. (note, the "green pun",,, arr arr).

Maybe even a rank, Kadet, Kommander, ect.

@Gangrene: I have to disagree. My testing cylce is launch, fail, revert back to VAB, perform a minor change, relaunch. The problem is not choosing the pilot for the first launch (i usually do that). The problem is that KSP forgets this selection as soon as i revert to the VAB for the minor change. Everything else on the rocket is saved, why not the pilot assignment (or worse, the removal of a Kerbal for an unmanned test flight). Jebediah keeps sneaking on into my unfinished experimental flights.

If I save a ship as "empty" I would like to have it saved empty, instead of autofill with the gang again

This. ^^^^^

It is enough to change a part or even an action group and the little guys sneak back into the pod ...
