When did you guys join?

[krblman]

I joined when KSP 0.12 was state of the art. How about you?

[UmbralRaptor]

IIRC, 0.7.3 in July 2011, though it might have been 0.8.something. Does that make me a Great Old One, or something?

Sadly, I didn't even hear about KSP till 1.2.2

Don't feel too bad - met a friend of my son's a few days ago, & we started talked as we have a lot in common.  I asked him if he'd every played KSP since he likes both sci-fi games & actual science.  He'd never heard of it, so I showed him.  He's been watching KSP videos since then, but unfortunately he doesn't have a computer right now so its driving him a little nuts.

I'm jealous of your son, I'm 13 and I still don't have friends.

[Dientus]

I don't remember the exact time but it was 2017 after 1.3 release

 

I was searching for a good space style game since my game at that time was dying/dead (StarMade) and never knew KSP existed at that time. I remember reading and re-reading the description thinking to myself "it can't be this cool". Finally got it and yes, it was!

I don't feel bad at all I'm thankfull for getting to know this game after allways having been interested in space. And a lot has happened since 1.7.

It's just a shame that after a day of work, wife and kids, there's so little time left to actually play the game

That means you have lots and lots of time to make friends my man!

First heard about the game around 1.8, 1.9, then I finally bought it and started playing literally days after the 1.10 release.

[Guest]

1.3.1 for me. I forget what I’d been playing but got bored and searched on Steam for a new game with sort by user reviews and it came up. Sounded interesting but i honestly thought “this’ll be some 1 day-play max budget indie game”; how wrong I was 

[RealKerbal3x]

I got a KSP video recommended to me on YouTube. I was immediately hooked.

About a year later I got a computer that was just barely capable of running it. I bought 1.3.1 and the rest is history

I started in 1.7.3, saw the game pop up on Steam a while before that but didn’t have the computer to run it then.

[Sky Kerman]

I joined in 1.0

[Mahnarch]

I bought in May of 2014  - so, about 0.23?

 

...I've only ever been to the Kerbin system, Duna and Eve in all that time.

 

I'm kinda sporadic, though.

The first part is really relatable. Although I have been to Laythe once (on accident which is funny) but then the Laythe Hell Kraken ruined the mission.

I remember being excited about Career mode coming out (now Science mode) but being on a trip and not being able to play it right away. I don't remember what version it was but I started playing in 2013.

[pandaman]

For me v0.18.3, in March 2013.  And what an awesome 8 years it's been.

[kerbiloid]

0.13.3. Physically.

Morally - since the childhood.

[Philae_Rosetta2021]

I first saw it in videos when I was about 7 years old.

Then I forgot about it for 10 years.

Then I somehow remembered (my mind works in mysterious ways) and by then it was 1.10. So, I am a pretty late-comer and I have been playing this solidly for almost a year now.

[Starhelperdude]

right after 1.7.3 release

forums later though

[Maria Sirona]

I joined at... Was it 0.99? Well anyway, the only beta version of KSP.

[Ben J. Kerman]

I don't remember what version, but I got it for my 10th birthday (Feb. 2018, I think) I first got interested in KSP when I saw some videos on YouTube of other people playing it, I thought it looked fun, and I asked for it. Then, I got it.

Yeah.

Back when I started in 0.12, it was very confusing seeing as the command modules were their own stage. (what?)

[Space Kerbalisation Tech]

I joined in 1.6 to vee or not to vee.
I’m curious about how people that have been playing since beta or even earlier think of ksp which has developed and improved so much over the 10 years, because all I know about pre alpha/beta ksp versions are mega cringe footage of old ksp on YouTube and it must be amazing to play that and now have 1.12 and see the ksp2 trailer.
