Damn kraken is still here in 23.5, still attacking!

[TheScareCake!]

So, i am trying to build the station on the asteroid, everything seems fine except that my rockets have too much delta v for that small payload. My second stage still had plenty of fuel when i attached the habitat to the asteroid, so i tried to deorbit it and this happened.

Its on the escape trajectory now. This is not on vanilla ksp, i have rockets parts mods, visual enchantments and kethane mods, but still, looks promising.

But you cant steer it. Kraken, welcome back!

Could it be a single part... KRAKEN DRIVE!!!???

I encountered exactly the same apoapsis increasing problem, but there were no parts missing on my craft. I had this issue twice but with the same craft. The vehicle used some clipping parts though and i pushed it on that. I remember that it happened, when i came out of time acceleration (the game of course, not me) and i wasnt able to turn the acceleration back on, because the vehicle was considered throttled up, which it wasnt. I will launch that vehicle again this evening, maybe it is reproducable. Then i will file a bug report.

That sounds very much like an accidental kraken drive, care to share the .craft?

It appears you too, have stepped into the Kraken's Apothecary.

The kraken is very important. It adds a unpredictable and adventurous aspect to the game. It is also a important part of of this kommunity.
