Remove the original 3 from the roster, show only random kerbals

[Dave Kerbin]

I'm just about to start a new career and I've been making some changes to the file to set difficulty (turning off respawn, quick save, etc). I also want to remove the 3 orange suit kerbals so that my program can be with a new and random set of kerbals instead of the ones I've flown with a hundred times.

Is there a way to remove Bill, Bob and Jeb from the roster without putting them on the KIA list? Can I safely just delete them from the ROSTER section of the save file or is there anything in the game that requires them or expects at least one kerbal in the roster list. I guess I could try it just to find out but I'd prefer not to run into an issue several missions into my career.

Easy test, make a new save and try!

[Andrew Hansen]

I don't believe you will run into any issues. But as KvickFlygarn87 said, you just have to try it!

The safest way to get rid of them is to send them on a mission to a nearby location and leave them there.

Stick them in a hitchhiker pod with wheels, and trundle them out to the grasslands. Leave them there.

Such a cruel fate. Trapped in a can just in sight of all their hopes and dreams launching into the sky but they can't get there.

I call my Jeb/Bob/Bill contraction the "visitor's center" where little Kerblings can visit their space heroes. Meanwhile the ol' whitesuits are doing the heavy lifting.

[Shiftyeyesshady]

I keep them on my big space station at all times.

Place Bill and Bob at the end of the runway and Jeb on top of the VAB in a VTOL?

[Liowen]

I just do the easy thing and switch my crew before every launch, takes about 5 seconds not that inconvenient to be honest. And yes I did that for my 34 passenger Minmus mission as well.

[Kasuha]

I'd send them to the Astronaut complex. They're all veterans so taking care of all new recruits is best for them. And they still get to see all launches from there.

[Mozziedoo]

You could go into the KSP files and remove them by hand.

[pauldbk99]

Let them have an "horrible accident"

[thereaverofdarkness]

I'd just strand them somewhere.

I should have probably done that this time around. I already lost a kerbal and it was Bob.

Use a Mun lander for an Eve mission. Or pay a visit to the Kraken (Danny's Messing around in KSP 7, anyone?).
