What is KSP Weekly? Glad you asked! KSP Weekly is our means of making sure you get all the KSP Related weekly content you can handle from all kinds of sources. KSP Weekly will be an on-going article series written by Damion Rayne and Capt_Skunky, your Community Mangers, with a focus on giving you a single one-stop-shop location to find all of the following, KSP Related News and updates Testing Screenshots Dev Blog overviews Community Contests and Challenges (In Connection with our friends at Reddit!) Updates on Development Progress Where can I read KSP Weekly? Right here on the forums of course! What better place than the true home of the KSP Community on the internet than the place it all started? KSP Weekly will be an article, just like this one, right here on the forums. Will you post links to KSP Weekly on other sites? You betcha! We'll make sure to have links posted on all our Social Media including Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter to the weeks current article, as well as the articles appearing in the main forum sidebar! You'll always have a way to find out what's been going on with KSP during the week, pretty cool eh? We think so, Oh and we'll even post a link to it on Reddit. Why start this now? Ah, good question yet again. Well, to be honest, we're not doing the best job we can at making sure that our loyal fans and customers are updated on all the goings on with the team. While we do post something new almost daily from screenshots of the test builds, to live streams, to dev blogs (when the guys have things to talk about of course) we've not been great at making sure you've got access to all this information. We understand for example some of you don't have the time to sit through our live streams, or work and other RL issues get in the way. So we thought it was best to sit down each week, write something of a news post up and make sure it's always in the same location at the same time, and has all the news from all the sources. When will you post KSP Weekly? Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Well, if Tuesday's good enough for Starfleet... No but seriously, it's right after the Weekly Dev Stream so we thought that'd be the best time to post it up. As for what time? Well, sometime Tuesday but always on Tuesday! So there you have it folks, our commitment to you, our awesome fans to make sure you've got all the news you could ever want from us from now till Tuesday. Wait, still thinking about Star Trek! Anyway you get my point, so stay tuned! -Damion "Anthony" Rayne Kerbal Space Program Community Manager

So here's the trailers we were missing. They're finally up. -DR Here's Chicken Keepers, This one is by HOC Gaming,

Some time ago, I sat down and decided to start contacting those YouTuber's of sufficient quality who were producing great KSP Videos. The idea was to bring them all together, in to one place and to have them work together, learn from one another, help one another and grow together. The other side to this coin was also a group of people whose sole task it was, to help us promote KSP. Over the last few weeks, I sat down and asked these guys to make trailers and gameplay videos to show the internet that KSP is amazing. Well, they did not disappoint and one person in particular got his video used by us as an Official Trailer. That First Video is here: Now, we had to make cuts for our own uses and Ryan gladly helped us by shortning and re-building his long from trailer into a quicker one for us located below, Now, the rest of the group also strove to achieve their best work for us and those videos are below, Below is Streetlamps work, This one is by our good friend Scott Manley, Below is PLeb's Trailer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zGIfLPTgvK0 This one was done by PD, We're missing a few, but stay tuned as we'll get them out soon. -DR KSP CM

Community Spotlight As a game designer, sometimes it's hard to let go of your game and let it out into the world for people to play it, and tell you what they think of it. Even harder still, is opening your game and allowing someone else to add their own content to it. Well, KSP has been designed from the start for this very thing, we love seeing what you create and what you can make the game do with the tools we give you, while we strive to grow our game even more. Today, I'd like to take some time to spotlight and mention a very prominent figure in the KSP Modding Community, R4mon. Who is R4mon? Let me tell you... http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/12384-PLUGIN-PART-0-17-Anatid-Robotics-MuMech-MechJeb-Autopilot-v1-9-3 If you follow think above, you'll find yourself in a thread for one of the most popular mods KSP has to offer it's player base, "MechJeb." This mod's been a huge success and proved what a patient mod maker with tools and time could do. MechJeb has been in development for a good while now and continues to grow and adapt to the changes in KSP, and we can't wait to see what he does with it next. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/9270-0-17-Multiversal-Mechatronics-Munolith-Research-Division-1-3 The link above is to yet more work, showing r4mon's continued commitment to building mods that play to what we're doing in the main game, and when the "munolith" came out he built a mod designed to hunt them down. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/12329-0-17-Multiversal-Mechatronics-Fixed-Camera-1-2 Last but not least, is the fixed camera mod for KSP. Not a lot to discuss here, but a fun little mod to check out nonetheless, we suggest you give it a try. So, in closing, we want to say thank you to the mod community for showing us your talent, sharing with us your creations and letting us know people are passionate about KSP enough to spend time developing something else for the community to enjoy together. Damion Rayne Community Manager

As you may or may not be aware of, we've just recently bought two brand new servers to handle a change in services, and to help with load spreading. But the great news, is that KSP has gone to the cloud! We'll be using Amazon CloudFront (I think) to handle release days. -DR
