Wanderer

I wouldn't say super excited, more like "interested". I am in the same boat for wanting stuff to do like mining, science and 'research' but its nice to see things advancing. If its too slow for people thats really just on them for not understanding dev processes.

I kinda hope the website being rejiggered means they will start selling shirts and stuff.

Hopefully messing with new parts, and definitely seeing what the new features do. I'll send something to Mün and have a look at the pretty.

Experimental phase. Which to me means playtesting and maybe looking at a kind of stress test perhaps seeing what mods work, how they interact with new stuff. So they can get a sense of how changes will impact play... or it is some strange experiment I have never heard of

I figured most of the stuff on my own but I still enjoy Scott's videos. I link friends and family to them when they mention they want to play KSP. The main thing that helped me was just watching some of the things to try out.

Landed and tipped over due to a rise and because I had started moving sideways slightly due to overthrusting a little as I tried to touch down. I had already learned about using a good RCS arrangement though so I was back on the struts in no time. Did the walk about, could just make out an arch on the Horizon (which I landed a Rover at next mission) and went home. I only just had enough fuel to splash down in the Kerbin ocean.

The only vibe I am getting is maybe .21 will be ready for the end of the Steam Summer Sale... maybe. I am of course completely assuming KSP will have a discount during the period and it coincides with the influx of new people who get to start with .21. The sale is maybe starting in the next week and goes for a couple of weeks at most. So I guess I am being a pessimist and saying about 12-15 days away with a hope to be proven totally wrong???

Seems like the same kind of person that would think a photo artifact is an "orb" of a ghost and a insect streak in a frame is a "rod".

I had a station but not the one I had in mind, so thats going to be the next big project. I essentially want a proto-spacedock. Then an actual purpose built space dock. Then a large 'touring craft'. Something that could go out for a long voyage and explore everything out past Duna. I also plan to pre-explore everything with probes and rovers. Juggle many missions at once - though I have not yet used the Alarm Clock mod... which I expect I will need for sure.

I agree that tanks should be far more solidly linked. The aerodynamics maybe needs an overhaul too.

I never fail. I merely accept the many stumbles along the stairway to the heavens as, "learning how to succeed better". But seriously all my big fails have to do with the spacebar and the improper or panicked pressing of it at the wrong time. For this incompetence I have lost a station, at least one really good encounter after hours of waiting for the maneuver... and lets not get into time accelerating past really really important burns... a lot... embarrassingly high number.

Now thats how you 'Strut'

Other than their immortality regardless of never eating, sleeping or..well... doing anything but awaiting doom - I think I'll pass.

Ah the massive spreadsheets known as Test Plans. The multiple repeats of the smoke tests, the pouring over pages and pages of design docs to write those damn things... its a living.
