Ahh, so it is landing legs causing this, I was wondering what was going on. I'll second the "not a thing in 1.0.5" too.

That's a reasonable hypothesis.  I should test a scenario without landing struts to confirm, but I've always been afraid of landing without proper legs as being directly in contact with the ground during loads could result in explosions in classical KSPs.  Note that it also coincides with the new CoM code though..

Gonna have to bite the bullet and make a legless test case I guess...

I'm still getting some rather large phantom forces from stations with docked landers (this actually started in 1.1.1).   My 1.0.5 testing seems to indicate this wasn't a thing back then.

It's actually so bad that at times my crappy T5 Mun station can accelerate as quickly as 0.15m/s^2 without any engine thrust at all.

Yay!

I realize it's fun to be ~le so edgy~ and talk about how buggy release builds are, but if you honestly think there is no difference between even marginally release-quality builds and what there is at the start of experimentals testing...you are not helping your case for why you would be a good tester.

You talkin' to me, son?  I don't anybody else around here, so you must -- er wait actually there are lots of people around here.  Are you calling me edgy, or someone(s) else?

('someones' - heh)

Because some people had to scrape up the money to buy KSP, and there are, believe it or not, people who don't have disposable income.

People without disposable income, by definition, don't have a KSP-ready computer, or KSP, and have to decide if they're going to eat today, XOR tomorrow.   I know, I've been there a couple of times.  It's not fun.  Ever made soup out of purloined ketchup packets?  Not exactly scrumptious.

Of those that do have disposable income, I don't see how you could have some huge set of people that have enough to afford everything in life (rent, food, transit fare, utilities) plus the bare minimum extras (internet, computer), AND one copy of KSP, but not a SECOND copy of KSP.  Seriously, it's $44 CDN.  That's like 18 dollars in real money.

Funny thing is, I'm normally the first on the 'Squad is a bunch of lazy slackers' bandwagon, but I've dealt with content delivery in the past, and ugh.. I'd rather be eating ketchup packet soup.  Frak, I'd rather eat the actual packets themselves than deal with (cleverly disguised name here) Nakamai ever again. Plus, I do get the feeling that more effort has gone in of late, so I think people should cut them some slack and either pony up the dough, or pony up the patience wait two extra weeks if they can't.

That is not an option for many people.

Why not?

As a moderator, I have the choice to participate in testing, and I don't. Because it's a pain in the behind. I thank the people who have the patience to do it on behalf of the rest of us, but it's not a job to be envied. 

I'm the opposite I guess - I would hate moderating, but testing is fun.  Of course, my career grew out of tinkering with machines in the eight-bit era, so I may be insufficiently tinkering-adverse for a modern person.

I WILL be opting in on Steam to try out the fancy new bugs.
