Whoa. KSP costs $40 now. I don't think I'll be able to convince anyone to jump in anymore. I had enough difficulty when it was $20 and even then people would have preferred waiting for a sale.

This whinging in the forums is totally bizarre! I love this game, for me it's been totally playable for ages and I've played the poo poo out of it. Hell I'm playing through career mode (again) and having a blast, though I do wonder about my masochistic tolerance for no revert play. What are these people thinking, take a happy pill.

Seeing as it sparked a lot of education and enthusiasm for orbital mechanics mathematics, as well as enthusiasm for space exploration on the PC, I can see it doing the same for a lot of PS4 users who would never have had the chance.

The only way the PS4 release impacts the PC version that I can see is Squad making FAT STACKS, which is a good thing IMO

Given that KSP is mostly CPU-bound, and that the PS4 has a bunch of weak AMD cores, they'll almost certainly have to work out some sort of multithreading solution. Maybe that'll get ported back to the PC version.

What I want to know is PhysX able to run in hardware in Unity 5? If so, I'll be able to add a lot of extra life to this ageing PC with a better graphics card. It plays everything else I have great, but KSP knocks the wind out of it.

Is there a reason for the current cap on how fast you can timewarp? Having one more step on the timewarp meter would be helpful for missions to the outer planets.

Any overhauls to KSP that bring it in line to pass PS4 QA are good for everyone, plus it basically means a concentration on actual multithreading support which is super. On top of that it means more money for Squad, which hopefully equals expacs and sequels. Why the hell are people bitching about the port? Pc version gets more stable, probs gets DS4 support, and ends up running with less overhead which means more mod flexibility. Who would bitch about that?

I'm still mystified why they chose a porting company that pretty much exclusively does 2d mobile ports, with no experience in any modern console.

I'd guess the choice of company had more to do with Unity experience than PS4.

Check the Time Control mod thread on the forum. The version on KerbalStuff is outdated, but the thread has a 1.x recompile that works. I use it for the same reason giving an extra order of magnitude time warp as well as lowering the altitude for some. Haven't run into any oddness.

I started playing the game again this past week after not touching it for over a year and I've achieved more that I ever did before. I performed my first rendezvous (and about 12 since then) and sent probes and landers to the Mun and Minmus, as well as a Kerbal to the Mun surface. My Mun orbit Kerbal needed rescuing as did a contracted rescue job and although it took 4-5 successive rescue missions (each bringing the Kerbals ever closer to home) they finally touched down last night and this morning. One such rescue attempt was complicated when one of my rescue craft reached orbit and I realised that Jebediah had unknowingly tagged along and took up the single capacity command module. They came home in this:

The biggest issue with high timewarp values is that they can cause ships to "tunnel" through celestial bodies (you can actually make this happen already if you intersect with a planet at a really high angle). Of course, this is just a quality-of-implementation issue, since the patched conics approximation allows you to easily predict the position of an object at any point in the future. As far as I know, there's actually no need for KSP to even use timewarp, since they could let you just "jump" to an arbitrary point in the future. I was actually pretty surprised that the "warp to" feature didn't just jump immediately, but I suppose that would have taken more work to do, and it might just not be a very high priority.

It's probably the SOI changes, those are still done iteratively as far as I can tell.

I like to be able to stop the Time Warp Here if something comes up that needs attention. The only thing I want improved with the Time Warp function is to be able to go full speed if you're in a stable orbit around a body and not touching atmosphere. Also holy hell the neckbeardery on the KSP forums is mind boggling.

They should just make it so that pressing 'x' during on-rails timewarp causes it to immediately stop. It's already a reflexive "STOP!" key for burns, and it's otherwise a dead key while on-rails.

Yeah, there should have been an emergency stop button for timewarp long ago, especially since until recently it could break your orbits if not caught at the right moment.

Perhaps Squad had people, you know, interview/meet the folks working for the porting company and after a detailed discussion/analysis decided they were right for the project? I mean come on, what type of a question is this? Squad obviously decided they have the engineering resources to make it work, and the QA resources to pass submission to PSN. It's not like squad is just gonna take a random chance with no thought. What I'm saying is that you are mystified because you have zero inside knowledge on how the decision was made, which is to be expected. Many companies have you know, released their first big hit project. Maybe it's their turn to knock out a fantastic port.

It seems that Contract Controller is no longer supported on x64. Either bye bye cool contracts, or bye bye tons of mods so I can run x32 again. Damnit  I decided to go back to 32 bit version but drat do I have to scale back on mods.
