There seems to be a trend that I notice about beginners to this game. They almost always, without fail, pick one of the airplane cockpits, usually the Mk3 cockpit first. I think their descriptions should say explicitly (Bold is new, Italics are changed, linethrough is erased): "The Mk 3 Cockpit is the pinnacle of airframe cockpit technology. In the rare event of a Kerbin-penetrating anomaly, this cockpit will ensure your Kerbals are interred according to health and sanitation guidelines. This cockpit is designed for spaceplanes, NOT for rockets." "C7 Aerospace is proud to present our second generation cockpit. This unit is equipped to ensure survival in some of the worst conditions possible. The extra re-enforcement has slightly increased the weight. This cockpit is designed for spaceplanes, NOT rockets." "A next generation inline cockpit. Designed for sleek high speed aircraft, NOT rockets." Another thing is that the information on how to use fuel tanks is on the FL-T400's description, but the first fuel tank you get in career mode is the FL-T200. The Descriptions should be changed to fix this. Another thing to add could be R&D tips. These appear during loading screens and in the VAB and SPH. Here's a few examples: Struts can help to stabilize wobbly craft. The aircraft cockpits are designed for spaceplanes, not rockets. Press [angle snap button] to turn on angle snap for more precise placement of radial parts. Press [symmetry button] to turn on symmetry. Symmetry is important for rockets. You can have 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, and 8x symmetry. No part is better than another. They all have their own purposes. You can see more information about a part if you right click on it in the pallet. You can tweak parts in the VAB or SPH by right-clicking on it in the editor. If you are confused, play the tutorials or read the KSP Forums. If you're flying a crewed vehicle, don't forget the parachute! Parachutes don't work on The Mun and Minmus. You'll need to slow down using rockets. Right click on parts during flight to get science. Kerbals have jetpacks to maneuver around with.
