The problem is, you can only release the game once, and if there are any major issues missed by the QA team, no matter how small they may be, could hurt KSP's reputation, not to mention many other issues raised, I do not agree with them all, but they are valid concerns to at least discuss. I trust squad, but I just wonder if they have completely thought this through, or got caught up in the excitement, or otherwise being suggested to speed up release. Do you want them to be known as the Indie version of Bethesda if Aero severely breaks something that they miss? Unlikely, but not impossible

I was thinking this when I saw the recent edu release thread, it would be a shame to not get it in stock, but doing so would defeat the purpose of having edu seperatly I guess, and when I looked, there was no option to get a personal copy, at the very least, I think they should be able to offer personal copies as a kind of discounted "dlc" because those features are really great, and in some cases, welcomed, or even needed additions, such as the flight recorder and analysis. And of course, the mission editor, make the contracts and science more contracty and sciencey for yourself ha

Basically, iirc, there was an incident a while back between squad and some vocal elements in the community where squad suggested the idea of paid dlc (cant remember which dev or livestream it was) and it brought uproar as people through "free future updates" meant anything made by squad from when they paid until eternity would be free, and as there was no fine print to say otherwise, and too many irate individuals making lots of fuss, squad said anyone who bought up until then would get everything to do with KSP1 for free, and changed their T&C's so something similar wouldnt happen again

Kerbals: * Kerbals now have Skills they can develop. * Kerbals now gain experience after returning from missions. * Kerbal Experience is needed to level up crew skills. * Added Scientist Skill. Scientists increase recovery value of collected data, transmission value of uploaded data and the lab boost factor (when manning a lab). * Added Engineer Skill. Engineers are able to repair broken parts like Rover Wheels and repack parachutes. * Added Pilot Skill. Pilots provide SAS features at various levels. Basic SAS is available as long as at least one pilot is aboard. * Crews in the Astronaut Complex can now be Sacked (if available) or given up for dead (if missing). SAS Overhaul: * SAS is no longer available in any vessel for free. A pilot or an operational SAS-cabable probe core are needed for SAS to be available. * Level 0 pilots and basic probes provide basic SAS functionality (kill rotation) * Higher level pilots and more advanced probes provide new Autopilot Functions. * Added new Autopilot System featuring 8 modes: - Stability Assist (Basic SAS) - Prograde/Retrograde Hold (Level 1 Required: Automatically orient and maintain attitude towards prograde or retrograde vectors. - Radial In/Out, Normal/Antinormal Hold (Level 2 Required): Automatically orient and maintain attitude towards R+, R-, N and AN vectors. - Target/Anti-Target Hold (Level 3 Required): Automatically orient and maintain attitude towards the selected target. - Maneuver Hold (Level 3 Required): Automatically orient and maintain attitude towards the first upcoming maneuver's burn vector. * AP modes respect the current reference frame on the navball (surface, orbit or target). * Overhauled the existing ModuleSAS part module so it acts as a SAS provider in any level. * Removed ModuleSAS from all parts except probe cores. * Tweaked the R&D tech tree progression for all probe cores. * Tweaked costs and descriptions for all probe cores. * Probe cores set up with progressing levels of SAS service. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/content/322-KSP-has-gone-Beta!-v0-90-0-is-Officially-Released!

no; it only allows them to act like SAS crossed with mechjeb's smart ASS; scientists add science and engineers repair stuff; but no autopilots

There's a mod, several actually, for the medals so I assume I am not the only one who agrees. I like the idea of individual kerbals receiving rewards/medals/comendations, and then maybe a few for the space centre (player). A progression system, even only cosmetic would also be nice for the kerbals too. Maybe something as simple as just allowing you to Nick name survivors haha

I would be very upset if it's release during the course of this thread as I'm just about to head off for dinner

Does anyone remember the dark days when squad was more open, one person on the team says one thing that gets misconstrued, and suddenly and very vocal minority of the community just erupts. That, plus the more casual/modular and working up to the last second ethics of small dev teams is why we don't tend to get things like release dates, or large explanations/descriptions of what they'd like to put on the game, anymore

I was always under the assumption that the media group was at least in part, part of the beta group, so they can do their little promotional videos whilst looking for anything glaringly obvious that needs fixing. Also I remember the days when people use to joke that every time someone mentioned "release dates" it was pushed back a week. Just chill, enjoy .23.5; get excited for .24; wait for the inevitable complaining about how it's ruined the game, then a few days later how amazing it is, and then a week later, people asking when .25 is out

I don't think he's referring to the contracts available in the game, more that it will be a system that's open for people to write their own. Aka a system that modders can create "mission packages" for. And I'm sure that even if squad hasn't left it open to allow simple edits, someone will crack it eventually, just look back to when people said planets could never be modded in, now there's more planet mods then I can keep count of, or kerb town...where there's a will there's a way

Worked perfectly fine on my Surface, but haven't used it since 0.22 for ksp

thats like, 7 40 hour days?

ok. Well there was an above better answer that didn't show up until I posted, so I'm deleting this ha

Hey, i tried using the thread search, but nothing came up (well, that i understood at least) does anyone else have an issue (and know how to fix) where the ability to name and describe your ship in the vab disappears when using this mod?

Then i retract my statement, i obviously missed some pages, as i thought i was up to date on this thread
