Well, the SP is for "Space Program", and the aspect of managing a space program is severely lacking in the base game. So it would just move the title from 66% wrong to 100% wrong, which makes this not really a compelling argument Personally I will go with 2.5: The Kerbals are not integrated well into the game, going kerballed you gain some small bonuses and have to pay with only adding some seating to the craft, but they are not actually detrimental. They do add a tiny bit of flavour, but that (together with the "kerbally" part descriptions) sometimes adds to weird mood missmatch

Alternate building grids for colonies and stations
cfds replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP 2 Discussion
The problem with ground anchors is, that including them naively just introduces another node with an infinite force to the graph. -
Circular solar panels

At best, they have trademarked it, as you cannot "copyright" a three letter abbreviation (otherwise you would have violated their copyright twice in your response..) . And using "NFA" in any context that is not flight academies does in no way violate a trademark... -
1.10 fuel transfer issue?
cfds replied to Woodsielord's question in Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)
Well, the bug is classified to have "low" severity in the tracker, so my best guess is that they are actively trying to introduce it into the KSP2 code base as well... -
The probability that a SQUAD implementation of atmospheric effects (or any feature at all) is less laggy/buggy than an existing mod is unfortunately close to zero...

A few problems regarding a Space X collaboration: Space X is a launch provider, not a space program. The previous collaborations were with NASA and ESA, not ULA or Arianespace. Space X cannot be disconnected from Elon Musk. [snip] so do you rally want to have him associated with KSP?

Exactly. Career and science mode feel like they were the exact minimum they were told to add by the corporate lawyer to make the description text ("Create and Manage Your Own Space Program") on their main page not a clear cut case of false advertising. There is barely and aspect of managing a space program in the game, they should have been honest and call it "Kerbal Lolplosion Simulator". And don't get me started on the mostly pointless chained rigid body system and all the tacked on "solutions" to prevent it from glitching crafts apart...

Hmm, still do not like the sustainer engine look for the mainsail. The throat is far too narrow for a true first stage engine. By now I am pretty sure that the SQUAD graphics team is swapping the looks of engines optimized for high and low ambient pressure on purpose to troll us...

KSP Loading... Preview: Breaking Ground - Moho Wrinkle Ridge
cfds replied to St4rdust's topic in The Daily Kerbal
Looks to have the typical SQUAD quality: sensible base idea good details on the new object questionable texturing choices (why is a "cooled lava flow" painted orange?) no effort whatsoever to integrate with existing parts of the game, in this case the planetary surface. It looks like a "alien organs" loot drop from a 2000s space rpg. -
Kerbal Space Program Breaks Ground with a New DLC!
cfds replied to UomoCapra's topic in Announcements
Thinking that you, personaly, are fine with paying more for KSP is completely ok. Comparing it to other forms of games (like cards or 5thHorseman's board games) can be valid. Comparing it to movie tickets is pointless.- 1,121 replies

cfds replied to UomoCapra's topic in Announcements
Could we please stop using this kind of comparison? Or at least be honest about it? If you compare KSP to a movie, you can only count the time you played scenarios created by SQUAD. If you count the time of enjoyment that you created yourself, you have to compare the price of KSP to a set of dice or a deck of cards.- 1,121 replies

Kerbal Space Program DLC: “Breaking Gound” Grand Discussion Thread
cfds replied to UomoCapra's topic in KSP Discussion
I did buy the game when it was still called an alpha (and paid more than what it now costs on steam...) and there was some hope that it might actually turn into a game that lets you "create and manage your own space program". -
Kerbal Space Program DLC: “Breaking Gound” Grand Discussion Thread
cfds replied to UomoCapra's topic in KSP Discussion
1.0 is setting a very low bar, though. Yes, there have been improvements, but you can also argue that a lot of these improvements the developers a giving us from the goodness of their hearts are actually just bringing the game to a state that can be considered "released". And we still do not have a career mode that is worth the name...
