Craft image in launchpad and runway craft selector

[pincushionman]

So you can see what you're actually picking. An image of a saved craft, rather than simply relying on your written descriptions, would be a valuable tool when selecting among a large number of ships or planes. Especially when going directly to the launchpad or the runway, rather than the VAB or SPH.

Since crafts can vary in size/shape, it should let you choose a good angle. Basicaly be a screenshot, but with a clear or black background rather than the VAB/SPH maybe.

Alot of programs and games make a save file picture of whatever you saw when you saved. Maybe something like that, even for flights in progress.

There is a relative easy way this can be done.

As BenHR already mentioned; just have the game take a screenshot the moment you click the save button. .craft files are basically nothing more than text files. The PNG format, which is already used by KSP, can store a lot of information in the back ground.

1 + 1 = 2

SPORE (the most over rated game ever) saved its creatures in this exact same way.
