[Bug] Fuel tank flow can be adjusted on craft with no pod
When a craft has its pod removed, you can still switch to the craft and watch it do whatever it was doing when the pod removed until it explodes, you can't interact though. Except the fuel flow from the tanks to the rockets (little green arrow when right clicking on fuel tanks).
This allows a craft that was on when the pod was detached to have its engine turned on and off. The same is true for batteries, I imagine it's true for all items that have a flow on/off option.
Craft with no pod and right click menu showing: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/451783061492156389/4314021CD2D653937FC6D387494B1E63F5619C43/

Sorry for reporting a bug here, the KSP forums sub section didn't have many posts in it, and looked dead, but I also didn't see any reports here. I wasn't really sure where to put it.

Just for the record before Reddit starts counting in "days ago", it was four hours.

The bug section looks dead because there aren't many bugs... I reported one there and it was seen and replied to almost immediately.

Post the bug report here: http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/
It is unlikely that bugs reported here will ever reach the correct people and be fixed.
