  1. We choose to go to the Mun. We choose to go to the Mun in a space shuttle and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. - Jonamon Fitzbitz Kerman
  2. That condition sounds terrible @boolybooly, I'm sorry. Thank you for running this thing, it was one of my first forum badges.
  3. Thanks to @OJT and @Artienia for their help during the transition! I haven't been around as much lately due to various RL issues and generally feeling a bit burned out. But I'm still here as an advisor and Cool Badge Maker.
  4. This seems like a case of too many junior devs who don't understand the consequences of their code, and not enough senior engineers and/or QA support engineers doing code reviews, catching and reproducing low level bugs, or mentoring. Programming in general is hard, and game programming is very hard. Somebody in charge didn't take these kinds of problems seriously enough to properly allocate resources to them. Sauce: I've been a software engineer for 10 years, partially overlapping with various roles in the game industry for 9 years. Outsiders love to blame individual devs, testers, etc., but it's generally a systemic problem - in other words, bad management.
  5. Ideally, uninstalling a Windows application will remove the relevant registry entries, perhaps with a prompt to the effect of "Do you want to remove your settings? Y/N" But lots of application uninstallers don't bother doing that. The nature of this bug (that is, the devs not properly understanding what the registry is for or how to use it) makes it almost certain that KSP2's uninstaller doesn't remove anything from the registry either. So uninstalling KSP2 won't make anything worse, but the registry will remain full of unnecessary entries until someone cleans it up. It's like if you kick out a bad roommate and he leaves a bunch of junk behind. The junk is harmless (unless he was making drugs or something crazy like that), but it's also occupying space that you could use for something else. Now, this analogy breaks down a little bit because if you go rooting around in your registry deleting stuff without understanding, it would be like cleaning up that junk pile and also accidentally tearing up floorboards and cutting electrical wires and stuff. That can't easily happen when cleaning a house, but it can when cleaning the registry.
  6. Those plans have been temporarily put on hold. My dad died recently and I've been busy getting his affairs settled.
  7. If you want to help us beta test and give useful feedback, I'll send you some info. If you're just curious, I'm sorry but you'll have to wait.
  8. If you want to see a kerbalload of shuttles, or try your hand at some missions, come on over to the Shuttle Challenge thread! We're planning a bunch of new stuff too.
  9. OPM? What's that? Ovoid Preflight Machinery? Opalescent Potato Muffin? Office of Polar Madness? Oblivious Pain Management? As for Saturn, I haven't seen one of those on the road in a while. Anyway, this is Kerbal Space Program, not Kerbal Discontinued Cars Program.
  10. Sarnus? What's a Sarnus? We're still refining the stock system missions for now, we haven't done any major work on any additional planets that may or may not exist.
  11. ANNOUNCEMENT Artienia and I have been planning some big changes, including a whole bunch of new missions. We aren't ready to make them fully available to all players yet, but if you are interested in being a test pilot and giving us feedback, please message me or Artie. When we're ready to go live, we'll be retiring this thread and launching a V7! Here's a little sneak peek: What does it all mean? Stay tuned!
  12. I know people build all sorts of crazy things unrelated to space exploration in this game (myself included sometimes), but I don't think specific, early aviation parts should be added. That's what mods are for, and besides, creative usage of existing parts can lead to cool things.
