The new description system is so awesome.

[cesarcurado]

Allow us to add some "lore" to our models

Here is the description of one of my aircraft:

An Experimental twin-engine aircraft made for Reconnaissance and Electronic aerial surveillance, designed for flying at high speeds and at high altitudes, the "Frost Troll" comes in the standard model with a state-of-the-art aerial surveillance system and top notch flying computer and gauges.

Control surfaces are commanded with an advanced fly-by-wire and the engines are thrust vectoring capable.

Please note: This aircraft is an experimental model and we don't take responsibility for any accident that may occur, as described in the purchase contract.

I know it's useless but it's kinda cool to add some deep info into your designs.

Do you add description to your models or do you just go straight for action with them?

I've started adding them once I realized they showed up when you selected a vehicle from the launchpad on the space center. I've added KSP-style tongue-in-cheek descriptions to all of my 0.21 creations so far.

What'd make my day, RP-wise, is a 'Kerbal Space Museum' building, where all successfully launched missions have small-scale models of them exhibited in a row, with name, description, date of launch and mission flag.

It's very cool, i'd like it if Kerbals had a notes section too, "gets sick easily, best placed sitting a few meters away from the rest of crew) hehe

That would be an amazing feature!

This is a fan-freakin'-tastic idea. I'd love to hear from Squad if this would be difficult or tedious to code. If not, I hope they could stick in their timeline.

I primarily use it to remind myself what the action groups do.

I would also like to see this description accessible through the map view knowledge base tab in-flight.

Now that would be epic. Would love to see that getting added into the game.

I am planning to use it to record useful information actually. Such as jet engine flameout thresholds, action mappings, and pre-launch tasks like disabling gimbals and docking port crossfeed.

Is the info available in flight? Or just in the VAB/SPH.

Only before launch and in VAB/SPH.

Would be very useful if they added a button in map window inside the info panel that pops up the aircraft desc.

Or something like that.

Just thought of a description for one of my ... Missing kerbals. Luke kerman: Never knew his father and is obsessed with ion engines. Not to mention another pilot i lost during a plane test was called omy. The way i read that was O-my kerman: when he pilots a craft you will be saying his name etc.

[Anton P. Nym]

Man, I didn't realise those were user-editable until reading this thread. I've got a lot of writing to do now...

(Mainly action groups and quips, but some flight notes for craft with oddities too.)
