Kerbal Space Program

This may or may not be a bug, is dependent on intended behavior...

Details
On staging if the Staged segment contains it's own controller the new controller will not retain the state that the stage was in on seperation.
i.e. if you have a stage that is firing it's rockets when the stage was separated this is not currently carried onto the new controller.

Gameplay usecase
I found this on creating a rover skycrane I had expected that if I dropped the rover that the skycrane would continue to fire it's engines, however as the rover had the primary controller my game focus was retained on the rover and the skycranes engines shutdown due to independent controller on board, crashing it into the rover it just released. I had expected it to accelerate upwards and I could then switch control.

Reproduction steps
See attached pics for design to reproduce. (essentially a seperatable stage with rockets that has a controller optionally attached)

• Fire rockets on separation stage
• Separate the stage (rockets launch off of the stage as they are still firing)

• Fire rockets on separation stage
• Separate the stage (controller in the separated stage takes over and resets the current state to the starting state. therefore shutting down the engines)

Suggested fix
On controller activation import the current parts state information so that the controller takes control in it's current state.
