Mk3 Cargo bays

[Wanderfound]

Anyone else having weirdnesses with Mk3 cargo bays?

I recently flew this to orbit:

And this is what happened as soon as I undocked the cargo:

I see would you mean; Dunfred is smiling instead of looking shocked. Very strange indeed!

Something is clipping.

This happens when there is even a small bit of clipping.

many of my SSTOs are quite notorious for exploding when they take damage or collide a little too fast, since they have anywhere from minor to alot of clipping, especially stuff like intakes being inside the craft (20 rams dont look cool at all). All i can say, is that for teh carbo bay, make sure there is nothing clipping between the vessel yopu are launching, and the mothership. Once the game detaches the 2 craft, if theres any clipping, itll send the entire thing into oblivion.

I think the problems originates from the docking port being connected to the cargo bay's node instead of the fuel tanks (or the other way around, idk). Try surface attaching the docking port.

Odds are you have something mounted under the science lab that is clipping through the bottom or into the bottom of the cargobay. And judging by the debris shot it looks like it maybe near the front of the cargo bay.

I would recommend removing the lights. I saw it, and saw your problem in a flash. without the lights, you'll be fine

With Kerbal Attachment System, you can put the lights on after you deploy it. I have no idea if it has been updated to or ever will be compatible with beta.

KAS just got an update.

Can you post the .craft file somewhere so we can look at it? Likely something with the docking port is clipping into the node it is attached to. It happened often to me in 0.25 but I haven't had it happen in 0.90 yet.
