Please Delay Flight Report Pop-up after Crash - (what happened to Unique Explosions?)

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

I want to watch the crash!  The instant pop up defeats this.

Also - there are times when my ship just seems to vanish - this is especially true for spaceplanes during reentry.  Just *POOF* with the unnecessary & immediate Flight Report blocking 1/2 the screen.

I'd really like to see what happened to the ship... not a poof - and when it does go BOOM - not Pretentious Kerman's Unnecessary Flight Report.

Yes! I hadn't realised why the post-incident report felt so jarring, but this is exactly it - the instant you crash it's there up in your face.

Agreed!

+1 good suggestion

You aren't supposed to crash, but if there is going to flaming Kerbal meteors, we definitely want to see them!

Finally had a crash without the report.

Glorious:

Rather than delay it, I would prefer having to hit esc or some other key to bring it up rather than it being automatic.  In KSP1 I could sometimes limp my broken craft into the air or off the runway. In the current set up, I am locked from doing anything.

 

And yes, I want to see things like this again!

Maybe a floating 'Report' button appears at the top / bottom of the screen you can click to open the report?
