Interesting Behavior...

[texasyojimbo82]

Hi all,

I accidentally discovered this behavior, which may or may not be a bug.

1.) Ready a rocket for launch, get it on launch pad.

2.) Go to space plane hangar, get a plane ready to fly.

3.) Fly your plane into the rocket on the launchpad so that it causes a catastrophic failure of the airplane.

Instead of prompting you about the crash, focus will not be on plane anymore, but instead on the rocket. Also, if damage is done to the rocket, it seems to be undone (the first time I did this, my wing clipped the command pod, both flew off, but when focus went back to the rocket, the command pod was back on top.

Saw this in 0.24, Windows, sandbox mode. Searched forums, didn't see it documented.

Yes, I can confirm that the focus is taken away from the plane and taken to the rocket. Even if the plane's pilot survives. But for me the rocket doesn't self-repair.
