Why can't we rename astronauts

@Pedro alright, thank you

@RamenNoodlesXVII it's very easy to break the game tinkering with the astronauts, thus the obfuscation

@Pedro ah okay. Wouldn't it just be simpler to add a tinker panel for astronauts as well? Or how com you guys haven't done that earlier

@RamenNoodlesXVII select any part that shows the tinker panel, open hidden properties, select the astronaut

@Pedro is there a way to just add xml for astronauts as a whole? That would make the process much simpler instead of having to open a separate app to edit droos, since all other parts have tinker panels besides astronauts

@RamenNoodlesXVII we changed the crew from being defined per craft to be defined per sandbox, since that makes more sense with career mode in mind.

You can still rename the astronauts with xml or the use of the hidden panel (although that requires some trickery), but opening the crew assignment panel will reset the names.

Additionally, you can tweak your sandbox xml to rename your crew to whatever you want, but that won't be applied to people downloading a shared craft unless you share the sandbox with it.

We will soon reopen the suggestions page so you can post there this. The closest we could do is, in sandbox mode, an easier way to rename the droods, but reverting back to craft based names is out of the table at this point.

Like really it wouldn't be that hard to let us name our astronauts?
