Regarding naming Kerbals

There have been a couple of frequently asked questions about naming Kerbals in For All Kerbalkind that I thought I'd answer.

1) How long do I need to be a supporter to get a Kerbal?
As soon as you sign up as a King/Emperor Penguin and send me the details of the Kerbal you want, they go into the list and will fly on the next available mission. This usually ends up being in the episode after next. If you want them to fly a specific mission profile like landing on the moon, it may take longer. You do not need to stay subscribed until they fly, one month is enough to get them their first flight.

2) Will they fly more than once?
If you stay subscribed as a King/Emperor Penguin then yes, they will continue to fly missions as they rotate through the roster. You're welcome to request specific missions or lore events for them too. However, if you unsubscribe or move to a lower tier, they won't fly again.

3) What happens if they die/retire?
If you're still subscribed as a King/Emperor penguin then you can request a new Kerbal.
