Hello and a few questions from a happy KSP player

[Eleusis La Arwall]

Hello everyone!

At first a very big "thank you!" to the developers for this awesome game, I had very few games that sucked me in that hard for such a long time. Keep up the great work!

So I finally managed to join the forum after about a year into KSP. I started with 0.20 last summer and a few month later after visiting all the planets and moons (except the Joolian moons) I tried some mods, mostly visual and HUD mods like EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements, AlarmClock, EnhancedNavball, ... but also KSP Interstellar. Since 0.22 I play the career mode without any mods until the stocktree is finished, afterwards I include the mods. Since two weeks now I can fully enjoy the beauty of the planets in 64 bit without texture reduction . At the moment I try IVA-only flights with RasterPropMonitor.

I often read that KSP brings people into science, which is great I think (because science is great!) but for me it's a bit upside-down. I was and still am into science quite a while before I started playing but the game and the (modding-)community also inspired me to learn how to use blender/unity/gimp. I've done some little things and few animated parts but I'm really horribly bad at giving them a soul (texturing). So there is still a long way ahead.

None the less KSP changed my priorities in science. I now keep my eyes open for space-related projects at the univeristy .

Also I have a few maybe stupid questions:

1. I would like to make a lab coat with the KSP logo on the back (https://i.imgur.com/u1Ew63n.png) to express my love for the game but I'm not 100% sure if this allowed due to copyrights etc. I looked up the Fan-Art rules but could not find anything in detail.

2. Is there a list with company names being used already? I have an idea but don't know if that name is already in use by someone.

3. I want to help improving the game but also not to slow the development down with useless crashreports. So whenever the "would be very helpfull to the developers if you send in the crashreport" message shows up I'm unsure what to do. I don't really need support for myself because the game is not finished yet, crashes happen and I learned to make backups of my savegames (the hard way ) but also I'm not able to judge if the report is usefull or not ...

At the end a little apology to to the linguist for my english skills.

Hello Eleusis la Arwall. Welcome to the forum.

1. Currently, the rule is that you can make fan crafts like this as long as you're not selling them.

2. I have not made one up, but somebody probably has, so ask around.

3. Please do post the crash reports in the Bugs sub-forum, and the developers will get around to it when they have time, so you're not causing them any inconvenience. (To help keep things orderly there, there are a few rules you should read over before submitting the post.)

And your English is just fine. I had no trouble reading your post.
