Kerbals just keep turning up

[p1t1o]

Heyhey,

so Im running a career with MissionController. I have Kerbal permadeath turned on, but whenever I put a number of kerbals on a mission, when I return to the space centre there is a group of fresh kerbals there to replace those that are away.

Any way I can prevent this?

Cheers

And...why would you? If you want to run missions using only a couple of kerbals simply do so. Permadeath only means those who died will be not respawned.

Because I want to, and because MissionController can put a price on "hiring" new kerbals. Having them just turn up kinda neutralises that mechanic.

Its not exactly game-breaking, but if there is a way, I'd like to know it.

This strikes me as the sort of thing you might want to ask the plugin developer about directly. You can find the Mission Controller release and discussion thread here.

Will do. I figured it didn't have anything to do with it though, the mechanic is simply a button that charges you money at the moment, as far as I am aware. Thought there might be a line in a config somewhere that might be responsible for endless kerbals.

I believe what is happening is that the game is seeing you have empty kerbal slots when you have a command pod in the VAB, it then "Hires" kerbals from the Astronaut complex to fill the empty pod.

On a similar note... In my career game, I accidentally iced Bill Kerman. His spaceplane, as it turns out, was terrible at landing. A few missions later, he was in the command pod, sneaking off to Minmus! Anyone else seen this?

The Main 3 (Bill, Bob and Jeb) are set to respawn after a certain interval.
