you can rename vessels from the tracking center!

I did not know that. Honestly I never will probably use this but cheers for the discovery

[Renegrade]

hopefully KSPedia will fix that.

Agreed! Not going to board the #hypetrain on that though, hope leads to disappointment, which leads to anger, which leads to the dark side, I've been told

Also - it has an issue where sometimes it doesn't register the click. I'd initially assumed it wasn't a thing until Awaras pointed it out.

Yes. Dead useful, stupidly obscure, doesn't work in map view despite the widgets looking the same.

Actually it does work on the map view. It sometimes doesn't work (possibly due to the navball bug, possibly due to lack of control - I haven't tested to isolate what causes it), but there are conditions where it definitely DOES work.

I've wanted this feature, and it's been there all along!

Nice. Very nice.

And here I was v looking for mods or considering save game file editing to rename things uncontrolled or from a distance..... THANK YOU.

Is there a repository of such unintentional secret functions somewhere?

Wait, what? Amazing, I still don't know all of KSP's UI.

Nice one, THANKS!

[Tex_NL]

Mind = blown

You say mind = blown? I say face = palmed!

This has been discovered, mentioned, discussed and asked literally dozens of times over the last few years.

The only thing mindblowing about it is the fact so many people don't know about it.

Yes. Dead useful, stupidly obscure, doesn't work in map view despite the widgets looking the same.

Fortunately that bit of the UI is something that's getting a redesign for 1.1.

I have hoped for a long time now for uniformity across the various disparate UI buttons, icons etc across all scenes.

Good news that they are looking at the UI in depth.

Hooray for U5!

[DMSP]

It's really awesome!

I use it all the time now days.
