KSP 1 Question/Problem My Kerbals are doing... things.
This has happened multiple times, sometimes there's up to three Kerbals there which are actually sitting in a hab module somewhere below the main capsule. If anyone knows a fix I'd really appreciate it.

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Mods that you would always recommend to new players, no matter the situation? (Read desc)
Lots of mods are dependent on factors of the user (graphics mods would need a good pc, rp1 and stuff you would need a bit of skill) but imo there are some must have mods (opm as my example)
What mods would you always recommend to new players? Obviously say the classics of KSPCommunityFixes and stuff, but also try and add some fun mods. Things that should be base game but are not, and would help newbies get used to the game?

KSP 1 Image/Video my new Space Station, PlanetPort (working title)
PlanetPort is the Pinacle of Channel Federation Engineering. ever since the Space Administration's pivot to Nuclear based ships for translunar duties, PlanetPort was founded to enable Bonaventure Class Nuclear Shuttles and Sarnus Mini shuttles to dock, refuel and to continue to places unknown
PlanetPort consists of 2 main sections. the Workside, and Fuelside. the Workside of the station is comprised of modules and solar assets from our former main Orbital Space Station, Sunbay which will house our orbital scientists and astronauts awaiting transport. the Fuelside of the station includes 5 large LH2 tanks for refueling and docking upto 3 Bonaventure Shuttles at the same time, not including the Workside Ports.

KSP 1 Image/Video Got a random idea to make a prototype flying car based of the roadster... guess I wasn't alone but here is mine
I keep having issues with the thrust being limited by having multiple KAL controllers interfering with each other and priority groups break since they cant just take priority from the most recently used axis group. This is a jerry rigged custom "rcs" system which im sure could be improved.

KSP 1 Image/Video Wow... what a beautiful probe. Wait, where is my transmitter....
TL;DR spent a long time getting this to the Mun. I spend a long time ensuring this rectangle can make it to Mun. It's finally landed... and I forgot a transmitter.
Always a rough feeling...

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Putting nose cones on the rapier
Do you guys consider this cheaty or is it just making up for an oversight the devs might have had? Also does it even really make a difference? I’ve only noticed a slight bump in performance
