It Returns

[mivanit]

Komrades, I bring a harrowing tale of impending doom.

Many of you have suspected this just like I have: the occasional glitch in position, phantom forces on your craft, etc.

The Kraken is back my fellow kerbonauts.

What began as a simple asteroid-capture mission for me became plagued by phenomena not witnessed by anyone for more than half a year. Upon quitting to the space center, I was confronted with this:

however, my ridiculously pathetic attempts at theatrics aside, has anyone else been experiencing kraken-y symptoms? I've played the game since 0.12 and this is the first time that I've gotten severely Krakened while in Kerbin SOI

[Deadpangod3]

it returns...

man the cannons!

Catch all the asteroids!

PREPARE THE NUKES!!!

POWER THE LAZORS!!!

LOAD THE KRAKENSBANES!!!!

Squad, I hope you built a spare Krakensbane device...

I had this issue when i docked both Armed claws into each other and then poof kerbin was gone.

May Danny be with us.

TO BATTLE!

You mean there was a time when the Kraken had left???

[User Unrelated]

I have only ever gotten attacked ONCE before today, and it was some random issue with my ship's COM coming de-coupled from the ship itself and floating off into space (and other such errors and silliness)

and today, literally minutes after installing the new update, I can't seem to do ANYTHING without my capsule flying off in some random direction, or my spacecraft rapidly disassembling itself in an unplanned manner.

The kraken was never gone, the kraken has always been there, but less than before 0.17

Brothers, we must call one last stand. For our country, for space, for NACHOS.

The Kraken was, for the most part, fixed in version 0.17. Before that, Exiting Kerbin's SOI would cause your ship to spin randomly and generally make flight impossible due to inaccuracies in calculating position.

However, with .23.5 ive gotten not only random spinning in Kerbins SOI but also enormous phantom accelerations, causing my engine-devoid ship to go from 500 m/s to 12 km/s in under 10 seconds.

I've encountered the COM problem many times as well, exiting to the space center seems to fix it.

[Comrade Jenkens]

K-drives are faulty so it must have escaped! Don't worry it will be bottled again in no time to keep it from causing any more harm.

[Kinglet]

Oh man... It was less scary when the kraken used to just consist of phantom forces.

I'mmmmm baaaaacccckkkk!!!! I told you all I would someday make my glorious return!
