Description¶

It appears that the CometVessel VesselModule only works when attached to a vessel that has a PotatoComet part (and gets removed otherwise). Allowing it to work with any part that has ModuleComet would allow new modding possibilities.

Verification¶

Unfortunately, I cannot think of a way to reproduce this issue in stock KSP. I encountered it by trying to create a comet from a custom part using a development build of Custom Asteroids 1.9 [unreleased at time of writing]. I'm assuming the current behavior was an intentional design decision, and should therefore be clear from the code.

Desired¶

Any space object containing both ModuleComet and CometVessel should show a tail, etc. like a stock comet.

Observed¶

Comets based on any part other than PotatoComet, even an exact copy with a different name, do not show cometary behavior in-game, and do not retain CometVessel in the save file. Comets created from PotatoComet using the same mod code do behave like stock comets.
