@Karma Kerman Correct, that maneuver will not be included.

Hi Kerbonauts! As many of you have already seen, our very first Kerbal Space Program 2, Developer Insights #1 Post, is now live. You can read all the behind the scenes details on our Community post here. This forum post will serve as a space for conversation and discussion around this Developer Insights #1 post. Feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and whether you could identify the one engine no one has been able to yet! If you want another look at the KSP2 Announce Animatic, here it is again.

@Xavier513 Thanks again for your interest. We've reached out through DM to better answer your question!

@Xavier513 We're so glad you'd like to use KSP as a teaching tool. As some have mentioned, we do have our KerbalEdu, which already contains school-ready lessons and missions for your students!

@JadeOfMaar These pictures are....S T U N N I N G. Amazing work!

We'd ask that you not include logos outside that of KSP.

We'd ask that you refrain from using that type of imagery in your submissions.

The artwork being submitted should be free of that type of messaging, except for the case of a discrete artists' signature. All other identifying information can be added separately in the post itself when you submit your artwork.

If the winning images contain mods we will reach out to the artists to label/reference the mods they used. We will be clear on the loading screen images which areas of the image include mods or not.

@PDCWolf The official rules are listed by OP. Thanks for noticing it links back to this page where the rules live. @Sebastiaz Sure, all crafts are welcome and deserving of loading screen attention!

@KerbalKore Of course, as many as you like! Submit to your heart's content!

@KerbalKore Yes! Feel free to get creative and use mods. We want to capture the Kerbal experience and know you all will deliver!

@Ultimate Steve my gamer tag had already been taken somehow so I was faced with the task of creating something new. I said to myself, "SELF! You like 3 things in this world: Space stuff, Fantasy stuff and alliteration." And that's how my username was born.

Hi there! We'll be working as a team to respond to comments for both KSP 1 and KSP 2.

A plethora of exciting new features will captivate veteran and returning players, as well as usher in a whole new generation of Kerbonauts to this ingenious and comedic world that has entertained millions. Key Features: ● Improved On-boarding: Kerbal Space Program 2 will create a whole new generation of spaceflight experts who will find themselves accidentally learning rocket science. New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight interfaces allow both experienced and novice players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game. ● Next-Generation Technology: In Kerbal Space Program 2, the astoundingly inventive creations that KSP is known for will be taken to a whole new level.

This new tech will enable new feats of space exploration within and beyond the original Kerbolar System. ● Colonies: Players can now build colonies in Kerbal Space Program 2. These colonies not only pose their own physics challenges to build, but also require players gather resources to build structures, space stations, habitations, and generate unique fuel types. Eventually, these colonies become advanced enough for vehicle construction, propelling deep space and beyond. ● Interstellar Travel: Next-gen tech, colonies, and resource collection work together to enable a new kind of exploration: interstellar travel. In Kerbal Space Program 2, these interstellar technologies pave the way to a host of new celestial bodies, each comprising new challenges and harboring new secret treasures. ● Multiplayer/Modding: An all-new architecture underlies Kerbal Space Program 2, enabling increased moddability and the long-awaited arrival of multiplayer.
