Help KSP, and Brush Up on How to Report Bugs for a nearly flawless post-release patch (if needed)

[inigma]

Just a reminder that 1.0 will need the community to all pitch in and report anything game annoying or breaking - and when you do so, do it politely, on the bug report forum, and screenshots if you have them and steps to reproduce if you can. Look for other reports first too before posting.

Let's make any post 1.0 patch a golden opportunity to make a great game even greater! (if we need it)

And have fun!

See you in 1.0.

Hopefully make it as specific as possible too.

See you on the other side!

I don't know about you, but i think this thingy looks space station worthy, even if it is heavy.

I think he calmed down... i think.

So, Chris Kerman, does our life insurance company cover Space Kraken Attacks Under The Launch Pad? Dang it! I knew it would only cover Space Kalmari Attacks Under The Launch Pad...

Didn't feel like writing a post all over again.

Bad Bug Report contains, "dis her ting is brokens yo, fix it bad dev!"

Good Bug Reports contains: Specifics, screenshots, ways to reproduce, exactly what you were doing when it happened in detail..etc

One more thing i should add to the bug i found, it happens, but only sometimes, other times Jeb or any other kerbal springs off the launch pad, sometimes at a trajectory(not the space kind), other times the kerbal springs off a centimeter.

They could even possibly do backflips!

This is why we didn't get to test v1.0

Do I think they should have been adding features in experimentals? No... but we need to remember that SAYING there is a bug, or even saying there is a crash, is NOT the same as saying what CAUSES the bug or providing reproducible steps.

Yes +1 inigma!! Let's all make a real effort to make superb bug reports!!

So, another glitch i found how to do.

Go to the Runway or the Lauch pad, click on a craft, click edit, enable advanced mode, Filter by Cross-Section profile, Surface Attack,

And suddenly,

AN ASTEROID A GIANT POTATO!

The best bit is, even if this gets fixed, you can put the Potato in a subassembly before said fix.

Also seen in EnterElysium's 1.0 preview.

Ha. Asteroids are actually a part, and it looks like a bit of an oversight there on the part of SQUAD. Might be in there for testing (Please, SQUAD, all you have to do is mention it in a change log and people will love it)
