Description

Currently, Kerbals on EVA will not have helmets on Kerbin (not sure if same applies to Laythe or other bodies with suitable atmosphere).

If you put a Kerbal on a command chair attached to a spacecraft and make them go to orbit, you'll end up with a helmetless but very alive kerbal on EVA in space. Unless, of course, kerbals don't exactly need spacesuits for life support purposes... maybe they're like batman.

Solution would be to implement a life support system that makes the kerbal go unconscious or even die if they exceed certain altitude (or speed) with no helmet on, and make a toggle menu for helmet on/off in atmosphere.

Alternatively, just make Kerbals use helmets when they mount a Command Seat. It would probably be easier fix, even if the helmet appears from "thin air" when the kerbal sits down into the chair.

Report is technically invalid. Currently, Kerbals will always wear helmets; the lack of one is from a mod you have installed. Try contacting the author for assistance.

I am sorry but this is not a bug, or a feature. You seem to have a mod installed and this is not the section to place items that are mainly/only mod related. If you wish to have this changed then please contact the mod author.

Yes, apologies for wasting your time. I didn't realize one of the mods had this feature. Of course I should've checked more thoroughly before assuming it was a stock feature.
