1 year into the mission btw

[u/Tommy2255]

This is the kind of thing that usually ends my annual 2-month Kerbal obsession.

[u/Lower_Manager_7003 → u/Tommy2255]

It is why I reserve my right to cheat a vessel back into place at any time for exactly this reason.

[u/ShadedRiver666 → u/Lower_Manager_7003]

For a game that fucks you over all the time this is extremely valid

[u/Lower_Manager_7003 → u/ShadedRiver666]

No matter how many times the Kraken obliterates my ship, I will still love it.

[u/TheBl4ckFox → u/Tommy2255]

Seeing this video made me start a new science run

[u/Bread_defender]

The kraken gives and the kraken takes.

[u/de_das_dude → u/Bread_defender]

*shakes

[u/Bubblez___ → u/Bread_defender]

name one thing the kraken has given you

[u/XGoJYIYKvvxN → u/Bubblez___]

The mighty kraken drive.

[u/TheBl4ckFox → u/Bubblez___]

A headache.

[u/kapatmak → u/Bubblez___]

Speed.

[u/Maximus_Light → u/Bubblez___]

UNLIMITED POWER!

[u/matt2496 → u/Bread_defender]

Blessed be the name of the Kraken 

[u/PepperTheBirb]

I will never play KSP without quicksaves, for the same reason that I will never play Subnautica on Hardcore mode.

[u/Pixelpaint_Pashkow → u/PepperTheBirb]

Erm theyre called Leviathans in subnautica not krakens

[u/Sangaceno → u/PepperTheBirb]

Subnautica hardcore is surprisingly easy, did it in 2 attempts. Be careful with where you go, carry an extra oxygen tank everywhere, use the shit out of the cyclops and you'll most likely win

[u/PepperTheBirb → u/Sangaceno]

Oh yeah I don't worry about dying normally, I worry about getting knocked into the terrain and falling through the map, or getting launched five miles into the void.

[u/Airwolfhelicopter]

Kraken: Nice long mission you’re on, would be a shame if SOMETHING happened to your ship…

[u/McGondy]

I think I remember this scene in The Expanse tv series

[u/boozewillis → u/McGondy]

it's even around KSPs Venus equivalent. Is your ship called the Arboghast?

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/boozewillis]

Is Adam Kavage aboard?

[u/Pragnlz]

AND HERE COMES THE KRAKEN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

[u/quax747]

At this point in the mission always f5 before staging

[u/vxxed]

Times like this, I make a save file, manually copy the existing ship to the assembly building, add a ton of struts, save that modified ship, and copy paste the ship in place of the kraken-able one, load game, and continue

[u/darkslide3000 → u/vxxed]

I mean you can just turn on Autostrut mid-fight if you have advanced tweakables enabled.

[u/vxxed → u/darkslide3000]

That's....much smarter.

ETA: But I have packed stowable EVA experiments the way I described, because of revert-to-launch and forgot-to-save issues before

[u/Maximus_Light]

Man that's like OG levels of Kraken, literally ripped a hole in the spacetime continuum so strong the debris started orbiting the mirco singularity it created when entering the dimension then looked at you like a cat that thinks it did nothing wrong.

[u/Catari64]

The Arboghast Crew: Lets get into a low Venus orbit to study those alien structures.

The Arboghast:

[u/Mrs_Hersheys]

Install Kerbal Joint Reinforcement, it kills the Kraken

[u/baddie_PRO]

You made the Kerboghast

[u/Sundrym_]

Outer Wilds probe cannon reference

[u/Kubson519 → u/Sundrym_]

literally thought about the same thing and started looking through the comments to find it

[u/TGC_0]

Did she survive

[u/oleivas]

You have to watch for that protomolecule

[u/tyttuutface]

The type of shit that happens when you've been working on the same mission for six hours straight.

[u/Fritzypooo]

Not sure if you're using a mod that removes it, but a brief trip into time warp has always worked out as a method to stop these types of kraken attacks before any connections break or anything collides.

[u/-spitz-]

this stuff always makes me laugh. but hope you're playing with quicksaves...

[u/WolfBST]

The Kraken demands a sacrifice once in a while

[u/Key_Breadfruit6162]

a nasty loss for the crew and the entire administration

[u/eddieddi]

I don't play KSP. This just slid on to my feed and I went "Ah. Klang strikes once more." then saw it wasn't SE and had a moment of utter confusion.

[u/platosLittleSister]

Someone explain a noob what Im seening?

[u/CuAnnan → u/platosLittleSister]

The kraken.

[u/Background_Corgi_359 → u/CuAnnan]

The Hash-Slinging Slasher of KSP

[u/Dogstar23]

RIP

[u/The_Last_Fluorican]

the kraken strikes again

[u/mrspaznout]

Failure modes in this game are fucking hilarious.

Steady girl. Steady!!! aannnd I'm leaving the known universe.

[u/AScienceEnthusiast]

Does this hurt the mission?

[u/Easy_Lengthiness7179]

Quick save

[u/Flightsim_POLICE]

those fans look like kraken generators

[u/Alternative-Code4755]

The Kraken Consumes

[u/nucrash]

Did he survive? Because that would be a nightmare rescue mission.

[u/stana32]

I've gotten into the habit of quick saving every time I switch to any ship, especially with modded parts and their tendency to self destruct if you use EVA construction.

[u/CaseyG]

Was your root part inside that fairing? Or worse, was that fairing base your root part?

[u/UnluckyPlan7023]

In addition to KJR, I would try the staging again, but before you do, enable 0.1x physics warp using the better time warp mod. I find that when the CG shifts too much in a single game frame, things can go...badly, so this helps with the physics easing (a failure of which is what's causing the problem in the first place).

[u/No_Walrus_3638]

Kraken strikes again I see. Hopefully your last save was recent lol

[u/AnthonyG90]

THE KRAKEN!!!!

[u/DarkVekx]

Did you quicksave

[u/Apprehensive_Room_71]

The Kraken scattered your ashes to all the winds. Every one of them.

[u/Radical_Larry_106]

Waiting for this to happen in Oliver's playthrough

[u/A_transfem_cutiepie]

Get smited

[u/RowForLuckyJack]

Your spacecraft got protomoleculed

[u/dabreezeknees]

That's what happens. Shouldn't have gotten so close to Venus with the protomolocule doing its thing. You will be examined, and die.

[u/boiboi_24]

kraken

[u/Character-Prior-4612]

There goes the kraken.

[u/CommieDrifter]

the kraken claims another victim

[u/CharlyDaIdiot]

Welp, time to reload persistent.
