When Did you join KSP?

[Comrade Jenkens]

I started playing in 0.17

Edit: When are ppl considered vets?

[Alavarien-46]

I discovered the game just as 0.14 was released, and playing the demo for a week before buying it.

[Large Kerbin Collider]

I started playing in 0.17

Edit: When are ppl considered vets?

No idea, but despite having started in 0.10 I don't even consider myself a vet. The poll suggests otherwise though - I'd say you're a vet when you're in the earliest 50%. So 0.17 just counts

[xrayfishx]

It was either late 0.17 or early 0.18.

The first full version I played was 0.18, then later I bought it right before 0.21 (exactly what it looks like. Sorry). However the demo I played was 0.13, not 0.18 so I think I might have started during the final days of 0.17.

End of March, v0.19

A guy mentioned it on the Minecraft server I frequented, saying it was "FINALLY on Steam" and I was like "A space game? Wat? Space wat where" and here I am today. I loooove space.

I joined during the Great April Kraken Attack of 2013, during 0.19. It's amazing to see how much has changed since then, and I've only been around for 5 versions.

[SpaceGremlin]

Started right after 0.18 came out. Still not sure how KSP flew under my radar for so long...

[Yakuzi]

Very simple question.

When did you started playing KSP?

A simple question, but not a simple vote... I joined in 0.20 so should I tick 0.17-0.20 or 0.20-0.23?

OP please correct the poll

[sgt_flyer]

I joined ksp maybe one month before the Kraken attacked the forums

[Uncle Mort]

A simple question, but not a simple vote... I joined in 0.20 so should I tick 0.17-0.20 or 0.20-0.23?

OP please correct the poll

As 0.20 was so buggy that it became 0.20.1 then 0.20.2 within a few days I'd suggest voting 0.20-0.23

[TranquilTempest]

My first experience with KSP was the .13 demo, which included a mun landing+return with no landing legs, as well as dropping a rocket into the sun(which at the time lacked a surface), to be subsequently ripped apart by tidal forces, and flung into the abyss at insane velocities.

[Goldham]

.18 that was such a long time ago,

[Bagface145]

I found KSP from a Kurtjmac video during .13

[Raikoutrio]

I joined in .19 when I saw it on steam and I was like"Rockets? Explosions? Sign me up!"

[Bioman222]

0.15.3

KSP, has changed.

[czokletmuss]

I joined in 0.16 after playin 0.13.3 demo for some time. Man, it'll be two years soon...

It's interesting to see there aren't that many people hanging around from the humble beginnings of KSP. In my times we didn't even have docking, not to mention other planets! :grumpy old man:

[Rhyunix]

I remember writing a massive letter about docking to the Devs, all about docking potential- if you saw the thread I made, then you'll know. I remember when it was just Kerbin- the joys of nostalgia

[eggrobin]

When I heard about it in Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I got the first version with symmetry.

It's interesting that it seems to peak between .17 and .20.

The comparatively small number of people from the beginning probably stems from the fact that the game was not very well-known at the time (assuming we have a representative sample).

[LameLefty]

Right after it came out as part of Steam's Early Access program last March, 0.19.

[jcraft]

Been playing KSP since 0.7.3 (but joined forum on some later date), well... "playing" as launch rocket few times - see how high it can fly - quit game - come back next version, there wasn't really much to do in KSP back in these days - true fun with KSP started when they added planets in 0.17 and most importantly docking and maneuver nodes in 0.18 (two best updates KSP ever received).

[TheRequimen]

Started in .11. Lurked on the forums right up to the start of paid updates.

I remember landing on the moon for the first time in .12, the fun of rockets that didn't work. Those were the days when the devs were really active on the forums, and they still talked to us, and discussed things.

Nostalgia.

[rasheed]

Started when the first paided versions came up (0.14-14.3)

[Lundmunchkins]

I'm a KSP vet. I've been around since .17, oh, those where good times. I remember how I would try to get to get to other planets using rockets that wouldn't even make it off the pad I didn't really get that good until .18, when i first got to a planet (Jool) and built a space station.

[RocketPilot573]

.16!

[Blaze 9X]

I joined around .17 and i really started once docking came around. Docking itself really opened the game up for me a lot.
