Legendary Kraken Attack!

[3mon]

So, here i was peacefully trying to dock my latest SSTO rocket into my unnecesarily huge space station at 2 fps....

No time warp, no physics warp. Then suddenly my pc freezes to death. Next frame i see is... well... see for yourselves. I started spamming the screenshot button and made a gif out of a selection of the best pics. (hope it works)

Or in album form here (hope it works too, never tried):

Santa Kraken attacked me!! Luckyly for me it was all done from the launch, so i was able to revert the flight and recover the many hours i put into that station. Although i was tempted to keep up just for the sheer fun of coming back and exploring the wreckage...

That's quite a mess.

Looks like a scene from Gravity. Nice rings, but things like that tend to be kraken bait.

Indeed, the ring on the left which started it all was moving and rattling up and down on his own like mad.

Now im trying to do it again lol! (The docking, i hope )

Jeb was sneaking a smoke in by the oxygen tanks again.

It looks like one of the scenes in Call of duty Ghost.

Now you can re-enact Gravity

Hmm... The Kraken is returning... Perhaps this was KSP's Christmas present to us.

Methinks you need to do some repair missions... or just de-orbit the whole thing and rebuild it.

Just tried it again with the same ship and got the exact same results. Big wheel exploding, massive debris cloud and whatnot. The funny thing is i've been dockng new modules with no problems at all until now. I'm gonna try docking a different module and see what happens... It seems the Kraken has taken control of my station

Odd, I just posted my own Kraken comment. This beast is really beginning to **** me off. My ship was nothing complex or complicated with no clips, seems nearly everything I send outside of the Kerbal system gets eaten by the Kraken!

We know what it likes for bait, how do we kill it?!?!?!

The Kraken Lives!!!!

Was watching 4kb have similar issues the other day. Don't remember which mod it was, but one of the mods he was using ended up being the culprit. Are you sure all the mods you are using are updated to .23?

I'm running very few mods, and only one with any parts and am frequently visisted by the Kraken. MechJeb2, Kerbal Alarm Clock, and Fuel Balancer are all I use. Sure it's easy to say it's a mod issue and stop looking, got plenty of tech support like that out there that take the easy way out and just side-step the issue without so much as a look.

Well, i must say in desperation i gave it a shot and removed Chatterer, which was the only outdated addon i was running. Dumb thing right? It's just sounds... But anyway, i dont know it it was that, or rebooting the game to do so, or some change in the manouvers i have not noticed (tried 3 different times in 3 different docking ports with the same exploding results).... but i actually approached and docked without things explodifying around. So thanks for the tip anyhow!

you might benefit from the ubizor welding tool if you aren't already using it.

That was/is an epic station you have there. Good to hear you had a backup, and were able to defeat the mighty kraken.

He was simply giving you a reminder that he's always there... watching...
