Joining, Lurking, Posting -- same difference

[SkullCollector]

Greetings, chaps and gals!

Curious, one might think, looking at the date I joined. And yes, I've really been an overly curious lurker, but never had much reason to post as every question I had had been answered before. So now I'm here, trying to be an asset, or, well, at least there.

Started playing KSP when it hit 0.8.1, was intrigued for a bit and just followed its development until, I think, 0.12. Got on and off the game ever since, and only now has career mode provided me with something to contemplate, enjoy and rage at. Point cut short, I'm a very long-time playing noob. Just recently got to Duna without MJ at last, and this being my so far proudest moment should convey quite a bit about how at-the-beginning I am.

Personally, I'm about to study physics come October, trying to get a proper MSc going. Fascinated about all things science, nature and space; avid devourer of literature, way too tempted to discuss every smidgen of a point I find controversial or interesting. Please hit me when I do.

Looking forward.

Cheers

Welcome! Good to see you introducing yourself.

If you've been lurking that long, you obviously know how huge the variety of skill levels is here. Both in the game and IRL.

You don't have to be a physicist to play the game, but it helps.

Happy landings!

Welcome aboard! You've got a serious case of lurking... wow.

Is the 5-post limit overridden by join date? (Kasper, that might be a good thing to check! Those spambots might find another way in)

Welcome to the forums!

Glad to see you've finally taken the plunge and decided to join the community. Since you've mentioned you're still a "long-time playing noob," you may want to take a look at some of the tutorials I've collected in the Drawing Board, which is conveniently linked through my signature. Some of them are aimed at completely new players, but there's also plenty of materials for players like you who've already mastered the "basics" but just need a few gentle nudges in the right direction to put it all together to accomplish grander and more complex goals. As always, if something in particular gives you any trouble, feel free to ask for advice on the specifics.

Hope this helps!

You have only one post, yet you have a rep bubble.... Senpai teach me your ways!!

Seriously though, welcome to the forums? Also nice work not losing yourself in the great forum plague... we will remember.

I've had more rapid things to hang onto in my time, this forum plague was a piece o' cake. Is there some kind of memorial day for those who lost their grip?

Thanks for all the greetings, so sweet.
