I think the one question that should be asked that hasn't is:
how can I help?
A: Have the author(s) set up a paypal account for donations for whatever need be (most likley soon enough server costs, thanks to Games For WIndows Magazine)
What If I want to help make the game?
A: thats between you and the author(s) but I suggest if you can help out with a sequel (as I assume this is just a portfolio game not a acutal full fleged one) especially if you know how to do netcoding

I don't think th15 is allowed to take donations. Part of the gaming license he's working with, it's non-profit.

AFAIK, GameMaker games are fully marketable...

Really? I don't think so, it's not considered paying for the product.

I don't know a thing about it, I'm just guessing.

Hosting donations aren't the same as, say, actually charging money for the game.

Exactly. Wikipedia requests donations all the time, and they get away with it because there's no "premium content" only for donators

I can't see anything wrongw ith donations. Many free projects with even more strictly free terms (e.g. GNU GPL) make money from donations.

Edited in a question about part/flak arcs that seems to get asked relatively frequently.

Q: How do I target Boosters and Aegis Deflectors in Shipmaker?
A: Select the Aegis Deflector or Booster Module, hover the cursor over the target section, then hit the T key.

Yea but the T key causes the ship to scroll.

Not in my Shipmaker? Both my SM3 beta (with .85j) and SM2...

The background scrolls, not the ship. It's a minor problem of the "T" key also being assigned to "scroll background up".
