The EAS-1 External Command Seat is a Command Module for one Kerbal crew member during their mission. Unlike all others, this module is not a capsule, but a seat that can for example be attached to rovers. Thus it has no interior, integrated SAS module or electrical storage capabilities.

Usage

This module is designed mostly for rovers. While it can be used to pilot spacecraft, it does not start with a Kerbal in it.

To make a Kerbal take place in the seat, make him perform an EVA, move him close to the seat and right-click it.

As long as a Kerbal is sitting in the seat, it provides full command-module functionality.

Description

The EAS-1 External Command Seat provides all the controls needed to fully operate a spacecraft, just like a command pod, but without such needless frivolities as "pressurized interiors", or "seat belts". It's bare-bones, pedal-to-the-metal efficiency at its finest.
