Non-staged parachutes

[sharpspoonful]

Just as the title implies, I would like action configed only drag/drouge/main chutes. This would eliminate staging issues and having to restage landers, and allow for more flexiblity for slowing large crafts through atmospheric bodies. Any thoughts?

I agree but think its part of a bigger issue. post-launch action group editing needs to be added and we need to be able to add/remove any function from staging. eg. "extend solar panels" drag and drop to stage 4 or whatever.

maybe this is already on the way with the whole tweakables feature?

can the devs confirm/deny?

I always find annoying deal with the parachutes in the stage config. But the action groups is one of the last things that you learn to config.. Is not hard. but is not as friendly like it can be.

Agree with Snuggler.

A common suggestion has been the addition of an "inactive" stage or "non-stage-stage" to the staging list. Say, above stage zero, so that you could drag any parts you liked into that container to remove them from the staging sequence entirely.
