      Please don't neglect the occasional (monthly or so) update on KS, for backers who don't have the time or ability (badlandstudio.com keeps giving a "Page not Found" and only displaying a banner unless I override its CSS) to follow every project. Cutting and pasting from a dev blog doesn't seem like much to ask...

      @Gazz , Phillip & Brian

      What happened to this project?
      My forum account got locked and since there hasn't been a post on the forum for a full MONTH, I suspect that everyone's account got locked...

      I hope the ship modeler has better controls because as it is now i find it very confusing to build a ship using the actual controls... but i like what I see so far =)

      Creator Nathan Grass on June 6, 2012

      @Console,

      It can be anything you interact with in the game. I provided a name but no "context" so they can just apply it wherever it fits best.

      @Gonzo,

      I would retry later as it may be a temporary DNS issue. I had no problem when signing up and they have quite a few users already.

    20. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Gonzo Granzeau on June 5, 2012

      I am unable to sign up for the kinetic void forums to make an account. It says:
      The entered e-mail domain has no valid MX record.

      It looks like you guys have a phpBB misconfiguration.

    21. Skj_avatar2_128x128.small

      Creator Veav on June 3, 2012

      @console That's at the $30 level: "name a minor element of Kinetic Void, possible elements to name are, ship modules, weapons, resource, etc. All names are subject to approval." So you can try shoehorning in a Console Inc. Medbay or something.

    22. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator console on June 3, 2012

      > What minor element name would you like to be included in game and in what context?

      Can somebody tell me what this question is about? I never watched any of the videos, I just wanted to support the project.

      Creator Lewis on June 1, 2012

      Just enter my name. Or you can put "none." :)

    26. Xeno.small

      The survey Requires I enter someone's name/email as referrer even when I don't have one.

      Creator Greg "Scorpio" Myers on June 1, 2012

      @ Scott Catron - They mean the forums at http://www.KineticVoid.com/forum.

      Survey question: What is your forum username? (optional for forum privileges)

      Which forum are we talking about?

    29. Missing_small

      Creator cutterjohn on May 31, 2012

      erm, well I got the alert about some sort of resp as far as username/etc. go and the email if I was clueless to put in "none" so I did....

      Creator nameless on May 31, 2012

      I wanted to mention the same as Raphael.

    31. Dog_100.small

      Creator Raphael on May 31, 2012

      Congrats to funding!

      Just one quick remark to something that disturbed me in the presentation videos: there is (next to) no friction in space, and very little gravitic influence in deep space. So once you have reached target velocity you won't need your main engines for most of the time; course corrections would be done by maneuvering thrusters. It is confusing to see huge engine trails continuously. Please consider to adapt this accordingly.
      (I would like to see the thrusters that enable to turn a ship around as nimbly as seen in the video, but that's another topic entirely.)

      Does anyone know how to rotate around your ship in the shipyard? Can't seem to do it? only strafing and zooming. Is it my mouse? (had some issues with it)

      The stress of watching this all month is finally over. I guess it's on to the other great sci-fi projects on KS like Drifter, Skyjacker, and Lodestar. I think my hair is turning gray.

      @Ben Went over by EXACTLY enough in fact. 5% to Amazon, 5% to Kickstarter - 10% of 60k = 6k. As long as you don't get fiddly with a calculator they scored exactly 60k after fees and charges. :D

    45. Blackmage.small

      Went over by just enough to hopefully cover fees and charges.
