2nd, As far as reproducing, It seems to happen whenever i create and attach probes to a vessel that is alternatively controlled (ie, i start with a command pod, then attach the probe to it to be launched). I have tried this with a clean (mod-less) run and it doesn't appear to happen, but it was a very basic test. (what i did find out was there is a bug with ion engines constantly using power even if you are low/out of power so you loose control of the probe)

I'm not sure how to narrow down which mod it might be. Here is a list of what mods i do have. This is the 2nd time i have had this issue, and the mods with the * by them are new mods since i had this problem the first time. I checked and all mods appear to be up to date and state they are compatible with my current version.

I did do a test with another engine, while it did have a ion attached, it wasn't the part that was left over. Also notice the nav ball is pissed off, with all the maneuver node adjustments on top of each other, not sure if that has anything to do with the issue. I also don't seem to be the only one experiencing this issue.

Resolution:

It turns out, I had SmokeScreen installed, which is a mod i didnt see was out of date. This turned out to be the cause of the problem. The latest version seems to address this specific issue, as indicated in their notes.

2.4.5 fix the disappearing ship bug that some user had.

So if anyone else is having this issue as well, head over and update your smokescreen mod/files.

Thanks, sorry if this wasted everyones time.
