 Made somekind of base  The game is fun, but its also buggy. Clearly a EA. The thing that needs most improvements is the UI. the game doesnt tell you why your course plotting is failing in navigation menu, it doesnt either tell you how to fix it. docking panel doesnt have any relative direction indicator, and no angle indicator either (relative to docking target ofc) and navigation panel gets really cluttered when theres a ton of stuff on orbit, and theres no way to tell if you have already visited the object.

So you're flying to other bodies in the system and stealing base pieces to shove on your base?

As long they don't start simulating structural integrity of such setups... I'd love to build some sort of borg cube of modules. Needs more modules with docking spots on top and bottom, tho. Seems like everything's mostly planar.

All I want from a game like this is some sort of alien growth that can only be managed environmentally and can cause infections that show up on other players (whose objectives become to infect or die)

Agreed on the part about it not being too hard , difficulty is good. It's that half the commands are not listed or something you would never guess in a million years If my Eva suit uses arrow keys to select a target. Why then use the mouse wheel combined with T in RCS docking mode ? And I'm still 50/50 on docking. Often times I can't get the docking assistant to show up but it will still dock anyways if you line everything up properly

Only seen it connected to premade stations you can spawn on Heres my current creation  it has hangar and  fusion reactor connected to starting moduleThe hangar module has 6x docking ports for ships and 2 cargo spot's currently those 6x docking ports seems to be disabled  but i imagine space traffic controller might become a thing if this game stay's popular (imagine 8xgoons trying to dock at once).  Traffic controllers menu of docking clamps. Dark Off fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Feb 27, 2017 |

If I have everything turned on in my starter module and connect to the starter ship , do they share the load now ? Or is there an invisible wall at the docking clamp Some modules hook up and everything is green. Others show the environment controls offline , and I can't see them listed in the control panels when browsing

There's actually a module called "life support" that's a proper version of whatever comes on your ship/starter module and allows you to pump air between various sections and have an entire big station pressurized (or de-pressurized) by pumps like airlocks, instead of having to deal with individual corridors and manual overrides and getting knocked over by airflow all the time. Before you get that, pressure control is kinda a pain you just live with.

If you're in europe, French servers (FR#33-39 or something like that) provide a very smooth experience for me. DE ones are very hit or miss. I get 12 ping to some, but then it lags to poo poo, which suggests their CPUs are poo poo or are poo poo virtual machines with shared cpus.

Ah that will help , so grappling is the universal docking port it seems I asked before but how does one add RCS fuel to a module ? Say I dock a corridor module to my starter pod , that docking port view is now obstructed by the new module I could control the docking from said new module to dock a further attachment to it , but it has no RCS fuel It is the trick to use the undocked module to bring itself to the being-built base module ?

Grappling system is just arms that are at the back of the ship, rather than an actual port. When you "dock" they extend and grab a docking port by the sides, rather than actually dock to something. Obviously meant as a way to haul poo poo around, rather than actually dock, though it works as a hard version of "lock speed" option that's actually relatively bug free  I wonder if there will ever be the option to clamp onto junk modules with that. I'd love to make the vicinity of my station an obstacle hazard, and it'd make salvaging less of a pain too if one could attach that.

The grappling system also has the fun fact of being on the rear end of your ship and ether by design or bug your controls dont change to match the veiw in the screen so everything is backwards

(I had intended to attach the port on top to the station. Whoops.)

So I played this over the weekend for a game. Took about 5-7 minutes to load in, then I was floating in space looking at a space station. I actually thought it was another loading screen but then I died. Then it unloaded me back to the start screen after another 3 minutes. Is this normal for load time? Am I supposed to figure out how to get inside the space station within like 15 seconds? I couldn't even find the door.

I chose some New York server with a low ping, and it took a very long time to load in. I'll try it again though. It looked very pretty! But I didn't want to wait another ten minutes for another go.

Ugh 90% of the time the docking 'hud' doesn't show, i get the regular reticle and sometimes arrow pointing to where the module is I need to steer towards But I don't get the velocity indicator, distance, or the helpful (which way 'round' should I spin to line up) reticle... if I back my commando away from the terminal I can see it on the screen, just not when I'm actually USING the screen super frustrating and makes docking a crap shoot as to if I'm right way round or not

The netcode is right now probably "optimized" (as in, not touched at all) for lan/very low latency connections, as will be any netcode straight out of the first developer's hands on an early access title. That said, netcode is in my (somewhat limited but still) experience 20% implementation, and then 80% tweaking the details until it works right for your particular game, and the fact that a full on ksp style simulation glitches as little as it does, it tells me their implementation is pretty good. They need to figure out a way to do client prediction well and tweak some numbers, and it'll work fine. Might take a while tho.

Normally I'd agree that I was doing something wrong , but the dock still engaged I know it was two compatible ports , like I said I could see the docking crossbar with arrows if I exited the RCS laptop , but as soon as I entered it bam no cross hair
