Gaming The Kerbal Space Program - Version 1.2.x

[Pipcard]

Frilock is talking about the ROUND-8 toroidal fuel tank part. Apparently the devs are planning on replacing the regular liquid rocket fuel in the part with xenon propellant (for ion engines), and a lot of KSP players don't want the change.

So make a copy of the current .cfg for it, rebalance it to play nicely with 1.0, and release it as an addon. :shrug: Don't see why they're up in arms about it. Hell, I'll probably make a Firespitter driven fuel switch setup for it.

HarvesteR, just wanted to wish you all the best for Monday.

I think a lot of Obiter-Forum have been following your progress and have a special connection to KSP as the son of one of our own.

Thanks for all your hard work, and may all your rockets fly straight and true.

And may that nice game continue to be improved (weather ?)

Too bad there isn't a Probe easter-egg in there somewhere....

I removed the x64 branch off Steam to avoid confusion. The win64 build was outdated and unstable, so we decided to take it down for the time being.

x64 is now on the backburner until a stable version comes along... That's not up to us though, so we can do nothing more than wait and see.

Cheers

Linux x64 will still be available at release, right? What good use other than satelitte image processing would I put my 32 GB of RAM through if not for the Mother-of-all-Modded-KSPs ... :lol:

Many thanks!!

I'm following the countdown previews, so far the new features look really promising. Especially the better aerodynamics, spacecraft blowing like fireworks during reentry, yeah !

Stock fairings and mining were expected too, nice to see they made it :yes:

To commemorate, a couple of screenshots of my first ever Mün orbit (many Müns ago!). What four years can do...congrats, Squad!

Ah, I remember those days fondly.

In my days we had to use spreadsheets to figure out if we were in a stable orbit...and we liked it!

Remember the thread where we tried to figure out the mass and radius of Kerbin?

There really is a little bit of misty eye over this. I remember this thread first popping up, I can't remember when exactly I purchased, but I really got whole hog into it about a year and a half ago when I started watching Scott Manley's videos on KSP, and now I've just come off watching his preview of 1.0.

It's still mind boggling, even by proxy, that KSP ended up where it did, and even moreso that it came from one of our members. I know I'm not the first, but I felt I just had to say my part.

Congrats to you and the team HarvesteR, you dun did gud.

Best of luck to Squad with this release. KSP has come such a long way!

That was this thread, around page 10 or so, heh (I was reading through the early pages the other day).

Cheers

One thing I have noticed is that the game itself has become more polished, so have the Kerbals in their space program.

Launching your spacecraft heavily strutted and exposed on the top of a wobbly rocket was part of the charm circa late 2012. Now with larger rackets, fairings, better structural integrity, etc. it is as if the player should not expect their rockets to fail...

Let's take one last look back to the beginning, before 1.0 is released.

We have come a long way.

Hah. Hahahahahahah.

I can hear the sweet symphony of RUD on the wind already.

Cool camera shake effect! Would be nice as a mod for Orbiter cinematics (e.g. external shots during re-entry - [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2062"]CamShake[/ame] only works for virtual cockpits)

Not that they are not going to crash...:lol:

But I mean, circa 2012ish the rockets sort of looked like they were made from junkyard parts by a species of brave but dumb little creatures that had no real business having a space program. But that was part of the fun...it made it okay to fail. You don't know much about rocket science? Good, neither do the Kerbals. You will learn together through trial and error.

Aircraft and spacecraft that I am seeing in 1.0 preview, (and really for quite a while) look much more polished somehow, with much more appropriate parts. That's a good thing. I get that you are supposed to go through a tech tree now. But the feel seems a bit different, a bit more serious. Hard to explain.
