  1. Mainly around what the crafts purpose is, then what revision

    Say if I'm making a space station, I start with SS #1a

    If I find the SS benefits from a tweak in design or launch vehicle needs work then it becomes SS #1b, then SS #1c, etc

    If I rebuild the entire thing from scratch it becomes SS #2a, then SS #3a, etc

     

    I do also custom name craft in game if they're going to be a significant part of my space program, like moving crew to other planets and back with their science.

  2. On approach to that small black dot visible in the background

    Same dot, now a bit closer and more colourful

    Unfortunately the other craft for the mission experienced some rapid unplanned disassembly,  so these guys and girls will have to wait around the Joolian system for a couple of years at least for it to arrive.

  3. Time to get off this purple rock. First to fuel up my escape craft.
