EVA Madness

[wmwconnors]

Can someone tell me why my Kerbals often begin an EVA by flinging themselves into space like space lemmings? Maybe, we could add a little bit of space rope to the tech tree?

Also, is there a way to stop the view from jumping to a different angle when I start an EVA? Even if I have it focused on the hatch, as soon as the EVA starts my camera leaps to an angle that hides the astronaut from view.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

I'm guessing that they tripped going out the door, lol.

though, it probably also has something to do with any parts being anywhere near the doors.

Kerbals flying off into space on EVA is a glitch, and an irritating one at that. Just imagine them being blown out the airlock.

It doesn't happen very often for me, but then again it still does happen.

And as far as I know, there's nothing you can do for the camera issue. But that's as far as I know.

Making sure your camera is stable and hitting V to make the view so the hatch is right side up helps.

I think it's only the starter capsule that flings kerbals out the door. The kerbal generally stays on the ladder when exiting other capsules

i think that one really depends on what is mounted on the capsule. If there's anything other than the normal parachute on the top, then I think they're more likely to go flying away.

sometimes they stay on the tiny ladder on that capsule, sometimes they don't.

Airlock failures sound really quite cool actually. could happen to damaged command pods/ damaged crew comparts

I think its just poor old Gus Kerbal screwing the pooch

It's a bug addressed in this small fix mod: [KSP v0.90] Stock Bug Fix Modules (Release v0.1.7c - 4 Jan 15)

Mu was the dev behind fixing the ladders and making them somehow stable, and he said he had nightmares about them, because they were so annoying. And since there seems to be an invisible one on every hatch we just have to deal with it. I actually dont mind that, unless I dont have an EVA pack on me Kerbals.
