  1. Thats actually not true at all. When it comes to games sequels are more often than not better. Red dead 2 Mass effect 2 Arkham city Halo 2 Call of duty 2 Many many more Certain parts of originals can be better but when it comes to games sequels are better in most cases. Sequels often have a larger budget and are built on existing mechanics. Not like movies.
  2. 3080 and 12900k. I wouldn't really be bothered by specs right now. By the looks of things ksp 2 won't be in a playable state for a while. Im actually really surprised they allowed the YouTubers to release that footage ahead of release. Its honest and not giving players the wrong impression. Id keep my hands of it if you don't have the specs to brute force it. Honestly I doubt the minimum Specs will perform well either.
  3. Whats bare minimum? 480p 5fps with 5 parts? Its bad giving players the impression they can play the game. People should not be getting their hopes up that anything less than a 2060 will give them a good experience. Even at full release. That could be in 2 years anyway. By that time the 2060 is 4 generations old anyway and most games will have it as a minimum. We will know more next week and we can upload benchmarks. Before that I wouldnt assume anything.
  4. The way players were asking if their laptops with pentium 4 cpus or whatever could run it. Its 2023 PC game. Im not optimistic about optimization but all that aside some of the specs people have been asking about lately can barley play a 1080p video. Not to mention there are plenty of players here that dont have the specs to run KSP1 at max settings with large craft and that game is 10 years old.
  5. After 10 years thats an amazing consistent playerbase. Especially considering its a single player game. Most games loose 90% of their playerbase in the first month or so. The spikes are most likely players returning for major updates. The other spikes are no doubt updates aswell.
  6. The PhotonCorp realplume patch has a typo or whatever in it. There is no sound because the soundclip doenst exist. I changed SWE/Sounds/srb-loop-2 to SWE/Sounds/srb-loop-3 and it works.
  7. A second screenshot with max settings would be simpler than the explanation imo but whatever.
  8. to be totally honest I would rather have an expanded kerbal system than interstellar travel and new systems. Vanilla KSP without OPM and MPE is just meh.
  9. Youre right. Its the velocity vector that is pulled down by gravity. That is 0 degrees angle of attack. Obviously ideal in atmospheric flight. If youre in a vacuum and set your spacecraft to prograde it will also do a gravity turn.
  10. Such a relief knowing this mod or the successor is coming to Ksp 2. Honestly without this and bluedog i wouldn't play the new game. I really hope the new game is worth the effort and not some mess
  11. Hypotheses, not theory and there is no evidence. Only 1/3 of the star systems are multiple star systems and the other 2/3 are single stars. Most stars are in multiple star systems. That is not the same as most systems are multiple star systems :)) Edit: Thats not even true what I said. Most stars are probably single stars. Impossible to know because we cannot see alot of the red dwarfs.
  12. What will you be looking into first in Ksp 2. Planet modding again?
  13. I agree with everything you say but fundamentally I am a pessimist and you're an optimist haha. No worries though, I am aware that what I am saying is based on assumptions and not evidence so I will not be saying I told anyone so. Believe it or not I actually think the game is going to be good in the end. The gameplay looks great and the visuals are amazing. There is no point in this discussion anyway. We will know soon enough.
  14. The agena secondary propulsion pack is still requires kerosene and oxygen with the Pafftek hyperbolics patch.
  15. A team of 50 qualified testers are better than 1 million unqualified players. Developers hire testers because it works. Early access by definition is publicly funding your game development. After 4 years of development someone is not to keen on continuing financial support for the game and that is a bad sign. They are releasing the game to get a return for their investment man and when it comes to money they do not care about passion anymore. Maybe KSP2 is going to be the best game ever but dont tell me my arguments are unwarranted. You are making emotional arguments about passion and making guarantees about a developer that has never sold you a game and a publisher that has a history of exploiting their playerbase. Hype is good when it comes to games but more often than not you have a devastated playerbase and the forums become toxic. Honestly I hope I am wrong about everything because I really like this community and do not want it to be disapointed. No they didnt because they didnt have the money to delay it again. Its business.
  16. I factor in those things but they dont change anything. If the game is not performing well they are well aware of that and do not need us to tell them. The new features are things they knew we wanted from KSP 1 so they are aware of what we want. Early access is a way to make money and an excuse to release an incomplete game. Unacceptable and people defending developers with large publishers behind them are exactly why we have so many incomplete and broken games being released. They told us they were releasing a feature complete game. I expect them to do so and the fact that we have early access is another sign that things are not going to plan and thats always a very bad thing. Another big issue with early access is dlc. They release 1.0 in 1 or 10 years and then some dlc a month later. Half the community will go insane that they payed for the development of the DLC.
  17. What complex new systems are coming out on day 1 of early access? From what I see its KSP 1 sandbox with different visuals.
  18. Just calling it a certain build doesn't change anything. The devs are not your friends. They are selling us a product. It doesnt matter what state the game is at launch anyway. They will use early access as an excuse for it and thats why I am considering if I am going to get it on day one. Early access for a single player game with a major publisher behind them in unacceptable imo. Take two should pay for it and then sell us the finished game. Then people are aware what they are paying for. Sorry I don't want to be all negative but I do not like it when people start defending developers that have never sold them an actual game. And lets face the facts. So far they have not had the best track record when it comes to their words and their actions.
  19. The Apollo landing contract asks for a gravity scan from the sub satellite part of the contract. The satalite cannot make a gravity scan. Is this a mistake?
  20. How does the yoyo despin work in the game physics. Is it somehow cheating the physics engine or is it actually working like in real life?
  21. surly that could not have been the reason to cancel it considering the cost of delta compared to atlas. Right?
