I constructed an intricate low-gravity lander using AGU's instead of landing legs because (a) the crash tolerance on those this is really high and ( I supposed the craft would attach to the ground in low-gravity environments such as Gilly. "This is a brilliant idea!", I thought. "Why haven't I seen anyone doing this before? I'm cornering the market with this one!" In my hubris I decided to test this craft on the steep slopes of Pol. One long and destructive tumble later, my Kerbals are now stuck in a forsaken valley. After reviewing the design I tried it again on Bop. Same difference. And just to add insult to injury one of the claws grabbed my Kerbal as he went out to plant a flag. Well, it doesn't mean it was a bad idea just because it didn't work... Apparently AGU's don't grab anything that has a SOI.

I've been playing KSP since 0.21. The demo immediatly sold the game to me. Thanks to mr. Manley I've gotten quite proficient at it. I'm a teacher who went on to do NDT after graduation and now I'm a chemical plant inspector. I've always been a huge nerd and mad for space. I've only got a basic background in mathematics and physics but I'm enjoying the game immensely, so long as I can rely on KER to do the more complex calculations for me.

Hey guys, Not a bug, but rather a visual glitch on the lander of the Mun Orbit scenario, probably after resizing that small inline reaction wheel. Why the legs aren't attached, I don't know. Love this game. Keep up the good work. KSP 1.0.4., win 8.1, 32-bit (alas ) --edit-- I checked my stock copy of KSP. Same issue.

That doesn't sound like a bug to me. Sounds like the probe core got put on backwards and/or upside down... Anyway, great work, Squad. Keep it up.

Thanks, Squad. Brilliant job!

Well, Totally ignoring Occam's razor and going for the more sensational explanation to get more hits/clicks is plain deception. A lot of press is guilty of this, through simple ignorance or delibirate sensationalism. He literally says "I choose to believe.." in face of flying evidence. All survey equipment is fairly sensitive and has to be CALIBRATED properly for it to function correctly. I would like to see some more documentation of how the survey equipment was calibrated, how it failed and which equipment was used for that matter. I've known otherwise clever engineers order magnetic particle inspections on austenitic stainless steel. (which isn't magnetic) This kind of behavior is one of my pet peeves. It's the same when they are talking about CO2 and global warming and invariably show cooling towers chucking out water vapour. This looks way more dramatic. CO2 is an invisible gas, after all. Granted, they show stacks sometimes, but it is mostly cooling towers. Or when they're talking about nuclear power plants or any related topic (like irradiation and contamination). I worked at a NPP for a couple of years and most press announcements are just plain wrong. They don't care. It fills a space and is dramatic and thus generates views and revenue. Maybe the reporter cares, but the chief editor certainly doesn't. Cringeworthy. On a lighter note, this is how it should be done: poking fun while conveying the right message. http://revision3.com/anyhoo/5-mysterious-objects-on-mars/

I am a chemical plant inspector. I have a ton of photos (of the results) of engineering that might has well been performed by Kerbals.

Granted. The communication could have been handled better. When they dangled "big news" in front of my nose last week, a PS4 port didn't exactly cross my mind. But can you really blame Squad for being excited about this? Sony is doing things pretty much right when it comes to Playstation Plus and indie games. The fact that KSP is accepted, is more or less a mark of quality. (Still won't buy a console, though) On top of that, half the company was on a well-deserved vacation. I'm not usually my best at work two days after I get back from vacation. That's not to say I don't look forwards to the devnotes. I missed them as well last Tuesday. But there will be a Tuesday next week. And the week after that, and the week after that, and the week... And suddenly: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/content/345-KSP-and-Unity-5 Never forget that KSP oozes the (sometimes hamfisted) love given by Squad... (that sentence sounds iffy, but hey...) It already is a great game and they will improve it still. Less blind panicking and more patience, please.

That reminds me of a brilliant XKCD comic: Anyway, I for one look forward to the future implications of Squad's decision. I think businesses should make money in order to stay businesses (shocking!). We'll get to see where this leads when we get there. At the end of the day, it IS Squad's product and they can do whatever they please with it. Some of us may not like it, but there's no pleasing everyone. I vote for patience and not panicking at the drop of a hat. It's not like they announced they would stop development and subsequently suggested everyone wshould fry their hard drive in order to erase every trace of KSP. - - - Updated - - - And another thing: Squad used to be a marketing company. Dave Grohl used to be the drummer for Nirvana. Albert Einstein used to be a patent clerk. Catholics used to burn people at the stake. Humanity used to eat its' dinner raw and sleep in trees. Lizards used to be bigger. Rocks used to drop from the sky more often. Oxygen used to be absent from the Earths' atmosphere. The sun used to be a ginormous dust cloud. Things change. Be glad they do.

Later on, the wizards wondered if the new universe might have been different if the Dean had waggled his fingers in a different way. Perhaps, within it, matter might have naturally formed itself into, say, garden furniture, or one giant nine-dimensional flower a trillion miles across. but Archchancellor Ridcully pointed out that this was not very useful thinking, because of the ancient principle of WYGIWYGAINGW*. *"What you Get Is What You're Given And It's No Good Whining." ​- Sir Terry Pratchett, The Science Of Discworld -
