Kerbal Space Program patch 1.1.2 is now live!
Monkthespy commented on KasperVld's article in Developer Articles
I have a feeling that's because the update had hundreds of other benefits (performance, mainly) and they felt that the update would be better released in it's current state than delayed again. -
I bought KSP when it was something like 10 dollars. I forget when, but they had put the game on Steam, and offered EVERYONE a key to switch to Steam. Why don't they do it again? Well, from what I have seen, it's just not a thing anymore. It's very likely it's on Steam's end, and not Squad, and I think I know the reason why. Steam gets a certain amount of money after every purchase, I believe 30%. A company could just say "Buy it on our website!" and then just give you to the key for Steam. It's not fair to Steam. Anyways, let's say they let store users get the prerelease, which is most likely going to be updated at least once every few days or even hours. That's basically a whole new build submitted, downloaded, extracted, etc every single time. Their servers are tiny compared to Steam's. They simply can't handle it, even if they could, it would most likely be insanely expensive. Don't blame Squad, or Steam.

Yeah, I see your point. The problem is I don't think (like you said) people would understand what the button is for. It's not for just normal bug reporting but if the whole mod is malfunctioning and not working. But alas, I don't think they will understand that. The only solution would be if a sufficient number of reports come in an actual admin goes in and tests the mod, although this would get out of hand real fast. It would have to all be moderated which I don't think Spacedock admins have the manpower to do. Still, maybe there is a good implementation of this but I don't know.

People who joined back in 2011: are any of you still here?
Monkthespy replied to Panichio's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Oh man... It was so long ago. I remember first trying KSP before even time warp or maps (or the Mun) and attempting to get orbit. We couldn't tell if we were in orbit and I didn't understand the m/s would tell me. So I just guessed and did something else for a while and came back and checked if I crashed or not. -
I would recommend just one social feature, which is "report as broken" or "not functioning well". I suppose after a certain threshold of a number of these reports a little red/yellow/green tick would pop up a warning users that other users think the mod is currently broken. The counter should probably get reset after any update, although this could be abused, but I don't see a reason why you would try to abuse it. For the mod author, the reports could have a little text box that sends it to the mod author telling them why the user thinks its broken. If needed (maybe like a brigade) the mod author could send a complaint to the admins requesting the counter to be reset or something like that. Another is something simple, the mod author could mark it as experimental, beta, or full release, and it would obviously show up for the user. This could be expanded as well, allowing a mod author to put warnings that aren't in the description and should catch the users attention (maybe a big red box). Just some of my thoughts.
