No comprendo.. So I burn to Jool, it takes 6 years for me. Sally burns to Jool, it takes her 7 years. I have to wait for Sally to time warp another hour before I can see her, even if she's also in the Jool system?

I use KAC and with that I hit my node 99.99% of the time; I would think if multiplayer was added there would be a feature so that people who have closer nodes would not be passed by and would simply do what they gotta do and then allow everyone else to continue warping. Not saying you should need a mod for multiplayer, just that same system where time warp is slowed down and reaches 1x upon coming up on a node

I think an easy way for multiplayer to work would be for each player in the same Solar system to have to check the proverbial "ready to warp" box; warp can only be done when all players have agreed? Is this feasible?

This was probably due to some form of animosity in Squad, why else would this not be mentioned on KSP forums first rather then Redit? With every other game dev who left we got a post from them in the dev notes and or a blog/announcement here on the KSP forums, but now almost every major dev leaves all at once and we still have no clear look at the impact from Squad that this has right before 1.2 is released? If everything was happy and dandy id expect the announcement of the mass exodus in the forum of multiple paragraphs in the latter section of the dev note tuesday, if not an official blog detailing the departure. This is KSP shattering news everyone until Squad tells us otherwise. Don't fool yourselves, this is not good.

On top of everything else, no more great poems?

I've been under the impression of a lot of things in this game, which I've logged over 2.7k hours into over a few years. Though I have no burning desire to use multiplayer atm, was multiplayer not promised as a feature to be added with later updates, in addition to a graphical update? Since the mass exodus of devs, this leaves a lot of questions with the community. I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are in regards to multiplayer, and what the loss of major game devs means for the game. Thoughts?

Wow. This is crazy

Yeah this does not sound good at all. Feels like Claw and especially Sarbian just started work at Squad. Seeing all these faces go all of a sudden, before the official release, things do not sound right. #wheelsarestillbroken #RIPhopesforlifesupportstock

Ah but anyone hoping for Lifesupport could still be dismayed I assume

I was under the full impression there was going to be a graphical update, 1.3

I TOTALLY called this in the hype thread im amazed at myself lol, I'm kinda a big deal. Can't wait!

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM thats what im talking about. THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FORTOLD

I'm callin it; it will probably be out next Tuesday the 11th, though a lot has been done there are quite a few newly confirmed bugs that have just started getting worked on after a quick look at the bug tracker, and about 300 new bugs yet to be confirmed. Not all of them have to be fixed before its released, but my guess is it will take about another good week (maybe + a day or two) to iron out a good chunk.

Could we get this added to ckan?

Scatter? idk i dont even use scatter

IMO you should add a poll to this

All this stuff is really great guys. I truly believe a deflatable addition to the inflatable heat shield, or a second version of the current inflatable heatsheld that has a deflate option would be a great addition to the game in increase the capability of what we can do in KSP. Even if you have criticism of the idea thank you, perhaps we can work out how to make it not OP, such as having only 1 inflate/deflate cycle or a small number of uses before its unsafe. I really hope Squad gets a look at this forum, we have way over 2k views and I posted this months ago! I can totally see this being a special addition for the 1.3 graphics update. +++ we has high poll numbers in favor of the deflatable heat shield Some main ideas I've gathered from reading this that people have suggested: -require a high level (4-5) engineer to EVA and re-inflate after deflation -require electrical charge for re-compression -only allow 1 or very few inflate/deflate cycles to simulate ware and tare, or add ablator, to make it less OP OR add a new version of the current inflatable heat shield that is top tier science level that has a deflate option, possibly with all the above suggested parameters

I say let the Kerbal ashes rain. I second that, great poem Sal

I wish the first option would work for me, as I usually am trying to re-dock at my space station and not land. However, using the inflatable heat shield as a means to aero-break can be difficult to Incorporate in to crafts that are meant to be reused. If you want to continue using it, you'll have this large bulky tube in front of you for all subsequent missions, and make it impossible to dock from the front. Your second point I think helps further my point that giving the shield a deflate option is useful. It may not be impossible to use it for large SSTO/MSTO's, but it is certainly difficult to incorporate it into the designs. Having to pitch up to 90 AoA (though not hard to maintain if you have a good craft) is quite dangerous if your also trying to shake off an oversize shield. Though I lament the idea and think the shield should be reusable after a hypothetical deflate option, I'd be willing to compromise and say at the very least give it a single use deflate so craft coming back for landing can return with the heat shield. Giving the shield only one deflate use would make it less OP, even though I still don't think it would be that OP with multiple inflate/deflate cycles; the inflatable heat shield has slightly less heat tolerance then standard ablator heat shields. This is the first time I've made a post to KSP in months; this is important to me, and it looks like the number of people who've voted yes outnumber no 2 to 1

I have kerbals that have died from bugs, so my death rate is no longer valid in my eyes lol

@Jas0n correct me if i'm wrong, I believe the video stated that these were things happened in the pre-release, and these are recordings before they got fixed. Regardless I chatted briefly with EJ_SA on Twich and he said running stock he was getting the same glitch and other aspects of said glitch were affecting his craft, so pretty much all we can do is wait for them to get back to patching the game. funny video though

I'd say the 2 go hand in hand. One can tend to get boring without the other

Just watched a TV show on this, a few thousand years (1-3k) later skyscrapers would begin crumbling and steel structures will begin to have rust holes, and after only 1k parking lots will begin to get eaten by the soil, but stone structures like mount Rushmore will last much, much MUCH longer

Part wise I'd like to see a shielded Sr. Docking port, and a Mk 3 inline 4 seat command pod anyone agree?

WHy is minecraft educational..?
