We had some server issues this morning and they should be all fixed up now. For future reference, to check on the status of the various KSP servers, check the following URL and bookmark it. http://status.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ Happy Launching! Arrr! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

Squad is proud to announce the Q&A Process for Update 0.21 has officially been completed and we've moved to the experimental phase! Cheers! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

no thing anoise me more thn u ppl w/ur txt speak. Arg, that hurt to type. It's one thing to use shorthand when you are limited by message length. There is no limit when posting on a forum, so there really isn't a reason to use such shorthand. You worked hard to learn those English skills, all that agonizing time you spent in school! Show it off by using it properly! *the previous message was that of the poster and not the views of Squad* Cheers!

Use F5 to quick save. Be aware, you can't save while throttled up. Hold the F9 key down to load the quick save. Cheers! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

They can also come from legitimate sources too. Most websites deliver content from multiple servers, sometimes over a dozen different ones. Any one of those can be compromised and set to deliver malware. While these are often caught within minutes, to make a blanket statement that viruses only come from questionable sites is just wrong. I've been using computers since long before the Internet and have even built them by hand with a soldering iron. In my 30+ years of working with PCs, the only time I've ever been infected was when I had forgot to turn my A/V back on after some testing. So, personal experience is extremely variable and for most people, practicing safe computing isn't something they think about. This is why these people NEED an A/V solution. Whatever A/V solution you use, I recommend against ANY that are subscription based. These companies have a vested interest in having their software pop up a message every now and then claiming they've protected you from some unknown bad guy. This is how they get you to keep paying for the subscription every year when there are perfectly usable FREE solutions out there. Personally, I have been using Avast for many years and have never had it cause a problem. The issues with KSP and Avast are related to having the game installed in Windows protected folders. Since KSP does not have a proper installer, files copied to these windows managed folders do not get the proper permissions set and Avast might think something funny is going on in your system. This is always solved by moving the program to somewhere like C:\Games\KSP. Cheers! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

Our Quality Assurance team has a set of procedures and unit tests they run the game through to catch the most obvious of errors as well as errors that may have crept in affecting something that isn't part of what the current update was working on. This is less about playing the game and more about working through specific sets of actions to ensure the results meet expectations. The QA Team also has a balanced number of testers for each OS as to not leave anyone out. Cheers! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

Stop trying to help this "friend" that does not want your help. When he comes to you asking to fix his PC, refuse. I absolutely refuse to help people with their PCs if they can't take a moment to protect themselves as well as practice safe computing. I used to try helping, but all you end up doing is providing a crutch. I still have a friend that refuses to do *anything* preventive and constantly plays any online free flash game she can find. She reinstalls her entire system several times a year because it just gets loaded with crapware, malware, and everything else. I just don't get it. Cheers! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

While we don't condone piracy, it's good to see that KSP is such a great game that even those that would not otherwise have paid, come back to buy the game and become legitimate customers. For whatever the reason, we are glad to have you here! Happy Launching! Arrr! Capt'n Skunky KSP Community Manager
