I'm actually kind of concerned because on top of this decision to release prematurely this is what, the second producer to leave in a year?

Hey where is that cutaway view everyone was talking about a while back?

When you hover over the crew pictures in flight, there's a tiny little button that appears to the left. If you manage to click on it to get the exploded view.

He tried to do it buy cutting out the middleman and just exploiting the gently caress out of his staff i guess :shobon:

From what I understand, he was also an employee of Squad and not the actual boss.

Alternatively you could join the Flowerchild cult and get BDSM (or BTSM I forget). Say what you will about that weirdo, he didn't put opt out tracking metrics that phoned home to his server full of KPOP photos and copywrited a hexagon.

isn't btsm still only for 1.0.4 ?

There's also an option that would have helped Scott while landing that "ghosts" a navigation waypoint as it passes behind the navball. Instead of disappearing, it goes translucent. That option's been there for a few versions now, but granted it's not in an easily discernible location - it's in Contracts.cfg.

If y'all are worried about KSP2 performance at launch then you must not have been around at the start of KSP when performance was measured in minutes per frame when launching off the flat featureless untextured solid green level plane that was the play area at the time. KSP was ludicrously awful with performance for at least a couple of years, it took a while for Squad to even do a basic optimization pass. It didn't get to what we would consider an "acceptable" level of performance until sometime around 2017 or so, and I started playing this in 2011

KSP has always been a series that has been playable and fun in spite of the performance rather than not and if KSP2 starts out that way, then it's not the end of the world.

i feel like the crucial difference here is that back then the price point was "if you insist, paypal me a few dollars, but dont feel obligated, and if you pay seven dollars or more we'll say that all updates and expansions are free"

so another thing that its important to realise is that this isnt like the early days of ksp because this has been in development for three and a half years

the proper comparison is v0.90.0 Beta Than Ever, which sold at USD26.99 at release but almost immediately discounted down to $18 for the first week because the release was timed with the steam winter sale

here is the changelog for that release so you have an idea of implemented and iterated game mechanics

as a reminder, at three and a half years into development KSP1 had career mode, science mode, and asteroid redirect missions available as well as a robust docking and construction system and a thriving mod community that had been actively engaged with and planned for during engine overhauls, had fully rebindable support for multiple concurrent inputs including 3d mouse, and sold for twenty seven dollars

at three and a half years into development, ksp2 looks really pretty and sells for fifty dollars

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:

my first piece of advice to every new player is always to ignore mun and go to minmus instead for this very reason. mun is a jerk, its gravity makes return landings deceptively hard and its terrain leads to toppled landers fairly often even if you've been playing ksp for a decade. plus minmus is just outright more fun to screw around on anyway.

yeah, the mun is *fantastic* for learning the basics of hohmann transfers and maneuver windows but a hell of a learning curve for landings and vice versa with minmus; for local operations i've always done kerbin orbit and vessel rendezvous -> munar rendezvous + molniya satellite relays -> minmus rendezvous + minmal satellite constellation -> minmus flats and mountain landing -> munar surface operations when im relearning orbital mechanics after a while away

It really does look unplayable tbh. Can't even get to the mun without the rocket spontaneously exploding a dozen times.

gods not even a minute in and giving a pre-emptive apology that the entire video was almost scrapped the bugs were so catastrophic...

There was a couch coop game a couple of years ago where two(?) people controlled different parts of the same space ship and it was a blast.

spaceteam? up to eight players where everybody has their control panel on their phones and also get given instructions that usually dont correspond to their own panels so they have to shout bridge operations while listening out for commands they need to be following themselves and if you shell out money for dlc you can get a ship's cat that does nothing but gently caress with your own controls every now and again

Well gently caress, was thinking of getting back into ksp 1 but neither global construction or remotetech is updated, are there spiritual successor mods for those or something?

remotetech is now part of stock ksp1 and there are tons of satellite refurbishment/orbit shift/retrofit contracts to keep you going back to networks you already set up

global construction is i think nowadays mostly replaced by extraplanetary launchpads

matt lowne showing off some of the patch improvements and bugfixes; i'm honestly impressed by the improvements but its a bit sobering recognizing that its still very much low double digit framerates on his fairly beefy setup (and he does call out that even heavily modded ksp1 runs far and away better once it loads)

i just dont understand why anyone who bought this at launch didnt refund it. no content and no performance, why keep it

trusting the word of the publisher that this was the cheapest it was ever gonna be and the price would go up every update?

which sure that person's an idiot but also at every turn the blame is landed squarely on the publishers themselves for loving over everything about the game for a quick dollar
