Devnote Tuesdays: No Sleep 'til Kerbalkon

[Needles_10]

Steerable...landing gear...?

WOO-HOOOOOOO! Finally!

[aceassasin]

Wow, hard to believe its been a whole year since the last kerbalkon.

[RocketTurtle]

Steerable...landing gear...?

WOO-HOOOOOOO! Finally!

Now we can park our jets in the hangar and scramble them at moments notice without running into walls/off ledges...

After 0.18, this is going to be by far my favorite release.

You remember 0.18?

Probes! Docking! Electricity! 0.675m parts! A total art pass!

Well, now we have:

Tweakables! Science archives! Steerable landing gear! Advanced construction!

I just want magic boulder back. Can that be our christmas present, SQUAD?

Tweakables! Science archives! Steerable landing gear! Advanced construction!

not to mention Updated VFX

I'm definitely looking forward to the Science Archives, after doing a lot of science it gets tricky remembering where you have been before (aside from planting flags on the surface) with the archives i can spend less time realizing I've just gone somewhere I've already been and am getting no science at all.....

it would be nice if the Archives section gave a percentage of completion when filtering by planet.. (so i have goals to strive for)

i think i'll go suggest that in the forums (in before the archive is even a feature )

Kerbalkon is 2 days from now!

Great news about hybrid engines, but SQUAD, don't forget to add a 2.5m multi point connector!

[rasheed]

Awwww yea!

This may be like 0.18! Ahh the days of servers imploding :sheds a tear:.

Cant wait!!

I think it'll be EXACTLY like the 2012 Kerbalkon. I mean, it's on the same day, and it seems like .23 is approaching very fast, in order for the release at the end of it (hopefully).

I don't think that web site is made by Squad. It's not even showing KSP TV.

and it seems like .23 is approaching very fast, in order for the release at the end of it (hopefully).

Remember that before release we should be conducting Experimentals.

[Andre221]

I wonder what is the big announcement, about which is still Maxmaps talking about. He said it is not .23, so what else can it be?

I think this image shows, that Kerbalkon will be during December 12 and 13:

I honestly think, no release will every compare to the hype and feel of 0.18. Or maybe it's just me.

It's not you.

[Captain_Party]

I only bought KSP because of the publicity KSP 0.18 was getting. I mean for gods sake, people were tweeting about it every five minutes!

I think this image shows it's the 29th indeed

Wut? There is a link to their twitch page.

Anyway, I agree, I don't think 0.23 is coming today or tomorrow.

KSP TV is on http://www.twitch.tv/ksptv

Those are obviously some bobble-heads or figuers that they're gonna sell.

Maxmaps confirmed that KerbalKon 2013 will be 12-13 Dec. He did so on the KSPTV stream last Friday (22 Nov.)

I think this is just announcement of special edition of SQUADCAST. Maybe they will show us some .23 features

[Superfluous J]

I figured they were launching the new SpacePort site, but figured I'd just wait to find out what it was instead of speculating

[Tommy99534]

I want to race somebody to Duna during KerbalKon xD.

<p><strong>Chad (C7):</strong> I spent this week working on new module additions and testing the implementation of new features. The landing gear are now steerable and tweakable in the editor. So you’ll be able to steer and taxi aircraft.

Was its physical significance property fixed? because as is it now it messes up most plugins that do mass calculations in the editor, because in the editor landing gear have FULL physical significance but while in flight is NONE.

[Themohawkninja]

I'm curious about the implied hybrid SABRE-like engine. What's going to be the balancing factor? Low thrust, low ISP, high mass?

[Dooz]

Oooooooo SABRE

[roux_de_secours]

I'm curious about the implied hybrid SABRE-like engine. What's going to be the balancing factor? Low thrust, low ISP, high mass?

I don't know much about the SABRE engine, but on wikipedia, it says that it has (would have) 3600s of isp in the atmosphere and 460s of isp in vacuum. and a trust between 2000 and 3000 kiloNewtons. and a thrust to weight ratio of 14. seems very nice.
