Legends of KSP - Epic Craft Museum!

[Noname117]

[quote name='FishInferno']I think that instead of being six months, the rule should be that the craft [B]cannot work in the latest version[/B] and it [B]cannot have an upgraded version[/B] that still works.[/QUOTE]

Even though this rule seems to have already been made, I still feel as if it isn't really that great of a rule, as it may be too strict and limiting (And favor inactive creators rather than active ones). Some craft will age better through development than others, and may still work long after they were first built. If development on them stops, but they still work in later versions, should that exclude them from being submitted with craft from that time period?

Or maybe a craft has something extremely innovative on it which gets removed with later versions. I don't think those craft should get excluded either.

Or perhaps a craft gets voted onto here and then gets updated to the current version? What do we do then?

Also, what happens when KSP development slows or stops completely (Or moves on to different matters than changing the physics within the game or adding more parts to make old tricks obsolete)? Craft lives will get longer, and eventually craft made after a certain time will never become eligible for a place in the museum.

I just feel like adding this rule just disqualifies some craft which should be allowed, and something less strict should be put in instead. I've got a couple ideas:

Stick to the 6 month rule, but add that updated versions of the craft less than 6 months old cannot be featured, shown, or mentioned in the museum. Only mentions to the old craft should be made.
This just adds a quick patch to the 6 month system to allow in a few more craft which should probably be deserving of a mention

Go to a system where the amount of months old a craft has to be depends on its status.
If the craft is broken (or horribly obsolete/impractical) without hope for revival in the near future, it must be at least 3 months old.
If the craft still works in the current version, but is obsolete without hope of an update, it must be 6 months old.
If the craft is still seeing active service in either its original form or an updated form, then it must be 9 months old.
This system still runs into some of the problems I mentioned, but far less of them. It allows amazing but broken or impractical craft to be added to the list sooner and forces still active craft to wait a bit longer without excluding them entirely. I'd recommend something very similar to this.

Also, put me down for a vote on both Zeke's shuttle and Ptrevrev's U-boat.
