I've been gone a long while, but congrats to the 10 year mark, and all the things you have going forward.

You didn't really address any of the people who got shafted by T2 playing hardball, which is a much bigger issue than worrying about the game itself. Ya'll really just let it all blow over because videogameman says no microtransactions, but move on from a publisher destroying another indie game company. Jebus.

I want an easy way to jump and do a front or backflip in low gravity.

I had another Dev say you Squad guys are helping Star Theory for KSP2, Have any switched over to actually being employees for Star Theory? Have Harvester or Maxmaps sent any well wishes for the sequel? Or any of the old crew? I like to imagine some stay in touch as friends. If these are against the NDA I get that as well. As an aside to the others speculating, it may be worth noting that while Squad made KSP off one mans idea, and they may like space exploration too, if the company Squad makes another game it could just as easily be something completely unrelated to the space genre. Maybe a Medieval turnbased RPG. Might be an arcade racer. Just needs another spark, an idea that is good enough the company is willing to develop and see if its worth pursuing. But I wouldnt think they are going to resign themselves to being only craft building/space simulators. Splinter Cell and Just Dance are both Ubisoft games after all.

Are any SQUAD devs involved in KSP2? Did any "Squadies" join Star Theory? Actually, I am out of the loop, does SQUAD do dev stuff anymore, or did Take-Two replace them over the months since the purchase? Also Who is Private Divsion, and how did they get involved with KSP and KSP2?

I dislike some of the build things too. Xenon tanks and the Micronode should have radial attachment enabled so I can slap them onto the sides of things without having to place a girder first.

I am led to believe it's an Elon Musk joke.

Yeah, I'll leave the number crunching to him. But if I am playing a bridge building game I will happily enjoy trial and error game-play. Elitism isn't needed in either to be enjoyed. Just because you can compute some numbers in a game doesn't mean its the only way to have fun.

Other than Scatterer & other audio/graphics mods I used to use, I have not really used any mods since .24 or thereabouts. I like trial and error as well and don't spend any time crunching numbers, I even used to ruffle feathers around here by being firmly against adding Dv calculators to the base game. Mods are not in any way needed to enjoy playing this game.

First time trying to use these engine plates, and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I have an engine under its shroud and so(ignoring the staging on my screenshot) when I stage the engine plate it should drop the lower fuel tank(and the shroud id think) correct? It isn't. I read staging it made it drop everything on the lower node. It lists a decoupler force percent, so it must decouple somehow without another part... This is what happens after staging, and throttling up. It just explodes the lower bits. Oh by the nine, my issue was the engine, the Mastodon and the engine plate(set to long) have lower nodes at the exact same spot. You can see the textures fighting to be on top of one another. Its grabbing the wrong node. Not sure how to work around that, but the issue was on my end all along, sorry.

Anyone have hard numbers on the new stuff? like show much Mass/Speed/Number of Impactors affect the data output of the Grand Slam Seismometer? I also see on the wiki that better engineers make the power units stronger, and every science experiment says "Please allow trained Scientists to deploy for best results", I'm wondering what levels give what bonuses?

Will this let use multiple claws to grab the same item?

I see a facebook post from KSP's official page talking about work on 1.7.3, and in particular a feature called “Same Vessel Interaction”. Will that allow multiple Claws to grab the same item? Oh, i see the 1.7.3 post, i'll ask there.

This is nice. I haven't played in almost a year but this has me very interested again. Well done mates.
