I'm excited about the idea of a sequel but I'm really hoping there's enough new content to slog through all the development cycles the first game went through along the way. I feel like a lot of the new stuff they promised is gonna take years to actually happen (and work well). I really liked Career mode in KSP 1 as it really challenged my ability to design and fly rockets, gave distinct pros/cons to manned/unmanned missions, and it was fun to upgrade the space center along the way. I hope they really expand on that with colonies and stuff as well as more kerbonaut management ie "Jeb is out with the measles who else we got crazy enough to fly this thing in 3 days?"

Why not just unbookmark and check back next year? Like, it's fine.

I still have serious doubts about whether they'll manage to make colonization and interstellar travel work, game design wise.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this whole thing gets tossed in a box, but it would be absolutely hilarious if they get the game up to the point where it can accurately replicate KSP1 and then cut off development.

I'm thinking about getting back into this (this being KSP 1 specifically) but haven't played since 2018. Are the expansion packs worth buying? Breaking Ground looks like it adds a lot more I'd be interested in. What's the best way to get a DV estimation in the hangar these days? Was it ever made part of the base game?

The robotics are pretty great and the KAL enables some wacky stuff like engine thrust overclocking. DV calcs are in the base game now. They're only rarely wrong.

KAL is fantastic. I once built a space shuttle clone, and mounted the shuttle engines on a hinge. I used KAL to stage all boosters and adjust the hinge angle over time to keep up with the shifting center of mass. It's not a novel idea, though: the actual shuttle tilted its engines.

Breaking ground is good, but I reckon you also need the mod with community fixes. theres issues with the robotics on impacts where they get set to odd positions and end up unusable that it fixes. As well as robotics, I love the rubber anti-slip mat parts for making bumpers & roll cages for rovers. They have a much higher break limit than other pieces so you can make fun carts that can bounce off rocks without shattering everything. Also, a small one mounted radially at the bottom of a jet engine can save it getting smashed off on a sharp takeoff.

Right now on Steam the bundle of game + both expansions is only $2.50 more than game and one expansion. If you had to have one Breaking Ground is clearly the one with actual gameplay, Making History isn't much more than a parts modpack... but it's a really nice parts modpack.

went to read this out of morbid curiosity: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/218671-bug-status-728/ and dude, how are wobbly rockets and decaying orbits that difficult to fix when they were solved problems in KSP1?

Because for all intents it seems they threw out all code 4 times over and *(whatever explains the lack of memory for what they had)  Seriously I can't get over the disconnect between the dev videos thoughtfulness and the sadness of ksp2. *I really wonder what the post-launch fired tech lead actually did

Is there even any staff overlap between KSP1 and KSP2? I thought Take2 did this completely independently of our favorite Space Mexicans.

It’s really bad and disheartening. Looking forward to the science/career system being a reskinned version of KSP1’s dogshit system so I can give up hope completely.

Remind me why the owners of KSP felt like they needed to sell KSP2 / find major publishers again? They seem to have created the hill of becoming a household name despite being a small indie company. They have a rabid fan base who would have bought KSP2 if it was self published.

Squad wasn't really a game developer. KSP started out as a side project. They were probably offered an amount of money that was much more appealing than the prospect of doing the same thing for another ten years (and I don't know if very many of the original development team was left even at that point)

The notch paradox  Create small personal sandbox game Turns into a wild overnight success with rabid fans Make tons of money ??? Keep making tons of money ??? More money Never release a sequel or anything interesting of consequence ever again Harvester's new model airplane game looks great the only problem with it is that I can't ever remember the name of it. Kerbal was such a screwball name it just kind of jumps out at you And yeah squad was a high end guerilla marketing company in Mexico City, KSP was just a carrot to keep the young prodigy from leaving I'm sure a franchise rights broker offered them $$$ and then sold it to take two and got a 10% commission or something Hadlock fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Aug 3, 2023 |

There was no KSP2 for Squad run KSP. They didn't want to hire anyone on at the level that could set direction and the team there was collapsing under their own weight just getting to 1.0. I forget which original developers left for why but one of them was poo poo talking Squad leadership taking profits and leaving them to self organize without any budget or impetus to actually run it like a studio. Take 2 was happy to buy it and set a direction. And Squad leadership was surely happy to just go to a nearshoring talent model for Take 2. When I say there are probably whole versions of KSP2 with different teams, things got really sketch during the history of it. Originally Squad devs worked on 1.0 support and DLC and Star Theory was given KSP2. Between DLC sales and Star Theory not getting over the line Take 2 wanted to bring everyone working on KSP2 into one Take 2 wholly owned and operated studio. Star Theory was originally in talks to be acquired directly but at some point talks went nuclear with the rumor being the owner told Take 2 no acquisition, no code base and Take 2 calling his bluff and hiring everyone willing to work on KSP2 directly from Star Theory and Squad. From outside it looks like the rumor is true and the owner wasn't bluffing, with Intercept Games starting over in 2020.
