Fast Testing place

[Skylar']

Hi, I think this Place can be used not only for construction but also for testing "with faster loading"
it will be much easier to test surface bases docking. also adjustable gravity can be useful to rovers

it looks awesome

The way space corporations do it is with Math calculations and computer simulations.  What do you know?  KSP is a computer simulation.

I think that in addition to normal "Sandbox" mode, there should be a sandbox mode where you can place a KSC on any world, or even in orbit around any world, as well as the option to have a ship created at whatever VAB appear in orbit (yeah, sorta like hyperedit).

Note that to not look awful, they could make an extra-Kerbin version of KSC for this purpose. It would be a dome habitat/facility and a VAB with landing pad. The orbital station would be a big station (a few meta-parts to avoid lag).

oh yes a in-VAB physics-toggle would be great.

There's one solution:

There is the no gravity cheat in the debug menu, but that's "no gravity", not "Another planet's gravity and atmosphere".

The other benefit is a faster loading time, as you test in the already loaded scene.

 

But I think all this comes from KSP original inception, in which it was a far simpler 2.5D game, where the "trial and error" philosophy could be applied. However, the game (fortunately) grew a lot from Harvester's original ideas, and Ithink "trial and error" is far worse than "make RCS, KER stock and a gravity and atmosphere simulator" simply because some missions can require a lot of time investment to solve by trial and error
