Bug #6955
Issues launching craft on launchpad in attached save
100%
Description
I've tried reloading this save several times.
Either the craft does not respond to Space for start (spamming Space will pop up a message about lin/rot switch mode)
Or the craft will fly, but when staging, the decouplers do not decouple, instead they are blended into the current stage (and all groups are split into separate elements)
Recovering the craft from the launchpad and loading it again from the saved model in the VAB solved the issue.

Updated by Your ship has zero electric charge and is unmanned. It is normal that a probe without electric charge becomes uncontrollable. You probably left it on launchpad too long.

It is recurring problem - running out of electricity is easy, figuring out that it's the problem is not obvious since electricity gauge is hidden in the resources tab which is by default closed. Many players come for help with that to forums or reddit.
It would probably help many players if particularly electricity had a (semi-)permanent icon similar to how your phone shows you battery status.
