Hi, if its anything like [URL="https://community.invisionpower.com/"]*THIS*[/URL] then this forum is going to be amazing. I think this is sounding great. It is very responsive. I hope it goes well. Please go well. KSP has a bad track record for stuff like this though, I remember a certain time that shall not be mentioned.... :sticktongue: I know this will go well though, you guys really seem like you've done the proper prep work. Good luck.

Rofl, this community... ..sometimes... *shakes head at ridiculousness*

Wow, Damion Rayne and PD. Thats a cool video. Even got some devs in.

No Chad.... I wonder what he has been up to. my guess is fixing bugs.

I really dislike these kind of threads. I consider myself one of those silent majority people. I don't really post much but come to the forums everyday. As you can see my join date is back in the early days, so its been a couple years and i only have like a hundred something posts. Ive seen these little movements happen in KSP and they don't really go over well. The message i think is clear but the way people seem to come across baffles me. I think these things are the cause of Squads PR changes over the last couple years. It cannot be a good thing to have all this negativity when you want something done. Reading this and if I were a dev i would be insulted. The tone and many of these posts really goes against what Squad has actually done. Calling the community just bugtesters and saying the community doesn't matter to them blah blah. What logic is this? Squad is excellent to this community and continues to be. Its really frustrating watching these threads go off on tangents while you know it only hurts our chances in the future to get tidbits of info from them. I know for a fact the tone throughout this thread is not helpful for anyone. If a Dev actually started reading this they would probably just stop after seeing some of these absurd comments. I think its why devs lock themselves in castle towers for weeks and just focus. Which sucks because their are some users on here that love reading the goings of the devs but cant get that much from them anymore because some other people have the tendency to get get all bent up when something doesn't go as planned. This is literally all the nature of the beast when making a game. Not everything will go how it was planned. That shouldn't surprise anyone... (To me, these threads are the Bane of my existence on the forums. Its very frustrating to come here to see the awesome plans and the inner workings of this game only to have that reason slowly go away because of a couple fellas that didn't have the patience to see how it works out before throwing people under the bus. This I think is the very reason Squad is different then it was. It has to be the reason.... I dont think i could quite take a beating like this thread has thrown and not try to change my interactions in the future so it doesn't happen. Cause and effect. Without this cause i think we would literally still be reading harvesters daily updates. He use to write what he was up to everyday such as when the kerbals started walking (the eva system) and what not, but that ship has long sailed. ARG!!!! He cant do that, because of this. Right. Here. (Second proof read rant added)) This thread has so much negativity at Squad. Squad pampers us. Maxmaps gives us daily news on whats happening, heck we get full notes from each dev on what they did that week... We have KSP TV and squad cast Fridays and so much more. What is the issue? All this is literally coming after KerbalKon which they gave us like 48 hours of constant streaming with so much interaction with devs. No game that i know of has this type of development interaction in the world. That is why I have been sticking with it. Its like a full on experience. Whats more if the community members don't like something in the game (or lack their of) then Squad has given us other outs by the ability to heavily mod the game. Each update they usually throw many things in for the modders. It is seriously possible to add this resource system that everyone is complaining about. I think all of the fellas making such a fuss need to relax. Lets get a grip and look at the situation (Situation being listed at the top of this paragraph). On top of all this, the major complaint i think im taking away from this thread is the gripes about resources. Have the complainers actually watched the video? I saw it and my take from it was this: They began exploring the resources system. They got so far on it that they sent a screenshot of it during a squadcast. Somewhere along the line it became clear that the system being developed (in its current form) was not what the dev team desired. Since the dev team didnt like the resource system (in its current form) they put it on back burner. Other priorities are being implemented before they come back to the resource system. Resource system will be something different then before likely easier and better thought out. Now to me, i dont see what is wrong with what they did. They started making the system and didn't like it. Clearly they arent going to release what was...because it was not what they liked. To me it seems like the complainers are seeing the above like squad is just flat out dropping resources which was not what was said. And if they dont think that then they are upset over the fact that they liked what the screenshot contained and are upset that it wont be included like it was but stock. And if you saw the screenshot they released in 0.19, i dont see what is stopping a modder from putting it in. Squad clearly didn't like the system so they arnt going to make that stock. I think a lot of this energy would be better served if the people would get together and make a mod instead of flat out insulting the developers of the game for not doing something they already did but didn't like (If that makes sense). At the very least i would hope my post brings some perspective to people. Its not all lost for a resource system and i guarantee the devs are thinking of better stuff more to their liking. Sorry about grammar and whatnot, i wrote this with one eye open as its 5 hours past the time I usually sleep. Tl/DR: Clearly Squad loves it community, relax, the devs will come back and put in a resource like system in which they enjoy.

Oh my Dan....... Chris Hadfield is definitely a hero in my book. While astronauts posted videos before him on the ISS it was not like what Chris did. When Chris was up their he took a lot of his free time showing us a bunch of cool things. There are so many videos to watch. He also took some really good pictures everyday. All this was done in his free time, He was not required to do any of this. I think his videos put out so much awareness to what the ISS was doing it actually saved some programs. He was also the first person from Canada that was commander of the ISS. Its not really that far of a stretch to call a man like that a hero. As for the Ed Lu not being a hero until he launches the satellite... thats funny to me. He is literally one of the only persons even talking about this. Not only is he bringing awareness to the cause but he hired the best team in the world in order to get it done. In my book, if Ed Lu died tomorrow, he would still be a hero. That being said ive been following Elon Musk for a while and he is number one on my list of people id love to meet. He is just so awesome. He is definitely a hero too, but nobody said the world cannot have more then one hero. Its funny becuase i was just talking about how bad ass Elon is to my sister. SHe didnt even know who he was! Some people.... Some people....

The resources system was talked about here: http://www.twitch.tv/ksptv/b/487174346 . Go to 13:00. They said they had it implemented but the over all feel was not as desired. They played a lot with it and then put it on the back burner. They felt it was not what it should be which IMO it doesn't really matter much because this game has a great modding community. If we want resources, there is someone likely to add a resource mod. I bet the devs will let it sit for a while and then come up with a good solution. This will likely happen when they have less of a mountain of other stuff to do.

Ahhh. Ninjad with the hadfield guess.

Hmmm....Someone who has been to space..... Chris Hadfield? Im guessing, and hoping, but id be pretty giddy if it was him.

Just an observation but it looks like Rob (N3X15) is no longer with Squad. On the About Page it lists him as being Legacy and now looking at his profile on here it looks like hes no longer a dev. I gotta say this guy was great, I hope hes going on to bigger and better things. Thank you for your hard work Rob! On that note, I wonder if Squad is going to hire another person with the skillset that Rob brought to the table. It seemed like he was great on the Unity side of things. I really hope they bring in a guy who can optimize code and put in certain systems like Rob did. *With that said let me say that this thread is not a Why. DO NOT DISCUSS WHY. We know he is no longer a dev, so please wish him well below and let him know you loved his work and move on. This thread is not a place for the discussion of reasons. Those threads never end well. This is my thread not yours, do not change the topic to that.*

Damion!!!

I for one would just like to extend a +1 and vocal support for the idea of roaming animal herds on kerbin. Get it done Damny. Get it done.

Youve probably answered this before, but what is your PC? Im guessing you got at least 2 cores of cpu that are overclocked like crazy. My i7 literally groans at 1k parts. i cant imagine a 3.5k part ship.

This is impressive. Getting that much rocket into orbit is no easy task. I have tried it many times.... all ending in green goo on the launchpad.

OMG! Damion! How you been? It's been such long time. You should come by more often
