Preserve the history of destroyed vessels for future viewing
Scripsit @lpgagnon:
After about a year, the moon ate my first moon orbiter while I wasn't looking. As I try to find an older save from which I can watch the end, I wonder: would it be possible to preserve the history of destroyed vessels for future viewing?
Relatedly, it would be nice to not lose all history upon landing.
Now that we have solved #2400 once and for all—but—Once and for all!, we should be able to do that without ridiculously enlarging saves. We already have zombies, this would be a matter of adding more stuff to them, and coming up with a way to look at that in the case of destroyed vessels. https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/blob/977a31521b9f350b1a18141349befa354e38cb55/ksp_plugin/plugin.hpp#L568-L574
(It is amusing to note that looking at such zombie trajectories could require reanimation.)
