Feature #5119
Let users explicitly assign Kerbals before launch from the VAB and SPH
0%
Description
Currently, a default Kerbal is assigned to a rocket/vehicle when launching from the VAB and SPH. The default should be empty and let the user explicitly assign Kerbals before launching via a separate dialog window (similar to choosing to launch from the main space center view). This way rockets that are meant to be empty will not launch with a Kerbal accidentally placed in it.

I know it is 1 step more in the process to lauch but it makes a lot of sense to choose the crew before lauch (just like click directly in the lauchpad or runway).

Updated by If you start the design with a command pod, it gets a crew assigned automatically.
If you start the design with non-crewed part, any command pods attached to the rocket will be initially empty.
Also, you can set up the crew from VAB/SPH using the crew button to the right of the action groups button. The matter is just to not forget to check the crew before launching.
