Vessel

class Vessel

These objects are used to interact with vessels in KSP. This includes getting orbital and flight data, manipulating control inputs and managing resources. Created using active_vessel or vessels.

name

The name of the vessel.

Attribute:

Can be read or written

Return type:

str

type

The type of the vessel.

Attribute:

Can be read or written

Return type:

VesselType

situation

The situation the vessel is in.

Attribute:

Read-only, cannot be set

Return type:

VesselSituation

loaded

Whether the vessel is loaded, i.e. its parts are instantiated in the scene because it is within loading range of the active vessel. A vessel that is not loaded exists only as orbital data and is always on-rails (see Vessel.packed).

Attribute:

Read-only, cannot be set

Return type:

bool

packed

Whether the vessel is packed (on-rails). A packed vessel has its physics simulation suspended and follows its orbit analytically. A vessel that is not loaded (see Vessel.loaded) is always packed.

Attribute:

Read-only, cannot be set

Return type:

bool

physics_range

The distance from the active vessel, in meters, out to which this vessel keeps running its physics simulation — and so stays controllable, able to burn its engines and respond to its autopilot. Setting this raises the vessel out of the stock physics bubble, so that it keeps flying while the active vessel is far away. Set to zero to restore the game’s default range.

Attribute:

Can be read or written

Return type:

float

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

This always reports the vessel’s live range, so reading it when no range has been set gives the game’s default for the vessel’s current Vessel.situation — which is much shorter than the distance at which the vessel unloads. In orbit a vessel is put on rails just 350m away, long before it unloads at 2.5km, and a vessel on rails produces no thrust and ignores control input even though it is still loaded.

There is a 10% margin below the range, so that a vessel hovering at the threshold does not repeatedly drop out of the simulation and rejoin it. The vessel leaves the simulation at the distance set here, and rejoins it at 90% of that distance; in between it keeps whichever state it is already in.

The requested range applies in every situation. The game’s own defaults are not uniform — a vessel flying in atmosphere stays loaded out to 22.5km — so setting a small range can shorten the range such a vessel would otherwise have had.

A range lasts until it is set back to zero or the game is exited. Unlike most state a client sets, it is not released when that client disconnects, because dropping a distant vessel back to the default range would put it on-rails part way through a maneuver.

Holding a vessel off-rails a long way from the active vessel costs performance, and accumulates positional error that can destroy it. Raise the range on the vessels that need it, by as little as they need.
