So, I'm trying to make a spacecraft with a permanent orbital habitat portion. (Reusable NTR driven interplanetary craft is the plan) I kind of like the look of having a pair of Vroz orbital modules connected together as the main crew habitat. Unfortunately, these things seem to have a built-in interstage that makes them want to pop apart from whatever else is attached to them. Like the hatch for the descent module to connect to, or the rest of the ship, or... you get the idea. Having a crew habitat that decides to go to pieces is not a desirable feature, so, does anyone know if there's a way to turn this feature off?
