Hello KSP!

[footforhire]

Hello fellow Kerbalnauts (Kerbonauts?)!!!

I (graciously) broke down after playing the demo off and on for about a year and bought the full game right after it went beta. I've logged a little more than 200 hours and this game has got me hooked. I'd like to say that I'm in it for the long haul, but I haven't accomplished all that much! I've only ventured as far as Minmus (with the help of dear, Mr. Manley) and have been more keen to test out different mods and parts and see what the community that has been built around this game has to offer.

I'm interested the most in pushing my space program forward and developing neat looking (and practical) craft that can accomplish this goal. I have set up a satellite communication system with guidance from Bob Fitch and his Projects Alexandria and Odyssey, and am deeply interested in the idea of a self-sustaining extra-planetary base of some kind using the Karbonite, K+, Kethane, etc. resource mods in conjunction with other station/base mods like MKS/OKS and the like.

I love the artistic aspect of this game as well. While I don't have a really awesome computer right now (MacBook Air 13"), it runs the game fairly well, despite my GameData folder being overwhelmed with mods. I have tried my hand at some Blender renders as well, and have not been overly successful, but I'm hoping that when I do finally get some sweet spaceships and learn how to use Blender, I can share my stuff with everyone!

Thanks for having me in this great community and I'll see you at the launchpad!!!

Is it three now? Back in my day it was five.

Welcome to the forum!

I thougt it was five, too. Why has that been changed?

[Red Iron Crown]

To reduce load in the moderation queue, I'd imagine. It's usually pretty clear that someone is not a spammer in a couple of posts.

Welcome, the community is great here!

I'm sure you'll have fun, and feel free to ask questions!

Continue your expeditions and explorations, and head to Duna! I do recommend going to Laythe, and setting up a couple of colonies there.

I remember when KSP had me first hooked , enjoy the game, discover its potentials.

Also, completely off topic, but I had a dream last night where I was flying on Laythe and I discovered a "Laythe Arch"...
