Exactly as the title.https://steamcharts.com/cmp/220200,954850#7d

Haven’t seen anyone talk about this. Kerbal ragdolling was half the fun of Kerbal 1.

I might be probably the first to create the Hypetrain in KSP2

Jacktical's TUFX Profiles These are my first set of custom TUFX configs which I hope you will enjoy using! Included in this pack is 3 TUFX Profiles: Atlantis - A vibrant config optimised for Earth Orbit. (Name credit goes to @Sanchez_1) Lemon - A warmer config for all-environment use, inspired by @lemon cup Transmission - A config created to replicate realistic lunar photography seen on the Apollo missions. TUFX Profiles Feel free to post images in this thread using these configs, I can’t wait to see what you create with them! Some more images:

I've got a challenge idea! I want the community to come up with "lore" ideas for the history/their own personal canon of the KSP/KSA.

The Kerbals from the KSP2 gameplay vidoes seem too cute/silly/goofy-like they don't have a clue or care about what they're doing in a rocket. The G1 Kerbals have a more serious look, like they actually care about what they're doing. I personally don't like this-could something perhaps be done about it?

Hello everyone, I start this thread hoping first and foremost it does not bring any controversy in the KSP community. I start it to ask the developers if - what I believe to believe to be a small percentage of the KSP player base and community - may get representation in the new game? I ask this in good heart, especially being one of those players myself because in the original game, I was able to create kerbals, but I couldn't create one to be like me. They had to be either male or female, but personally, it hurt because it made me feel that people like me won't get to one day explore the universe. Keep in mind, Sally Ride, the first American "woman" and third "woman" in space, did not personally follow the gender binary, she was in fact an important part of the LGBTQIA+ community after she admitted her secret on her deathbed. I bring this up, not to be political in any way, I believe politics should stay out of space as to preserve a better future for the younger space explorers and to ensure that it is a welcoming environment for explorers of all backgrounds. I've been playing KSP since I was little in fact, since before I understood I was a non-binary person. Which is why it's so important to understand that space isn't just about discovering what is out there to explore, but also discovering what is inside of your wonderful and kind brains to understand yourself. This is why I ask the devs to give me and many other players some representation, as we are all explorers. Not a single one of us could explore the entire universe alone, nor was it made for any singular person. It was made for the each of us to go out and explore together, learning new things and sharing it with others. Slowly, but surely expanding our wondrous horizons. A simple way that this may be added, is through a kerbal creator that allows us to customize each kerbal to our liking, whether it be a kerbal that follows the gender-binary or a kerbal with a little bit of everything from everywhere. This would also be great for multiplayer, because then every single beautiful person here will be able to greatly express themselves as well as have a little bit of them exploring a far of universe with near limitless bounties. Sincerely, BigStar Aerospace Note - I ask that each one of you be understanding and unprejudiced, the KSP community is meant to be unpolitical and accepting. If you do not agree, then I apologize greatly, but I ask you politely to move on. I do not believe that this thread breaks any rules and if it does, I ask you to tell me so I may fix it myself.

This thread is sort of like the "Most Kerbal thing you have seen in real life" thread, just in KSP. It would probably have to be turning a Kania truck into a rocket. It was just for fun and I think I used infinite fuel to get it to space, but that's what the kerbals are about, right? Honestly, I haven't done that much kerbal-y stuff in KSP. I haven't really been to space that much. I'll put pictures of the truck here soon. EDIT: I just made a helicopter version that actually (pretty much) works. Now I am working on a truck/plane! ANOTHER EDIT: The plane worked ok, and I landed successfully, besides that I lost part of an engine during the landing. It only happened because I have the wheel brakes set too strong and the truck turned and rolled a little as it came to a stop.

Kratos The Successor to Ariane IV Kratos ahead of her maiden flight Kratos is the newest launch vehicle developed and operated by Arianespace for the European Space Agency (ESA). Kratos will begin operations in 1991, and replace the Ariane IV. The Kratos-S (Standard) variant can carry up to 21 Metric Tons to LEO. For more demanding missions to further out destinations, such as a probe, the variant Kratos-E (Expanded) is available. The Kratos-E features a 3rd stage called "Loki" Named after the God of power; Kratos represents the strength, might and power of ESA. With a new launch capabilty, ESA aims to become a strong force in the launch market. Both Launchers have a long and short fairing variant, identified by an 'S' or 'L' following the Kratos type. For example: 'Kratos-SS' A standard Kratos with a short fairing 'Kratos-EL' An expanded Kratos with a long fairing The system was designed as an expendable heavy-lift space launch vehicle. Standing 68m tall and 5.4m wide, it is comparable to Atlas V, Ariane 5 and Proton rocket. The system is powered by hydrogen and oxygen. Now for the stats: First Stage: 10 Vulcain 2 engines with a combined thrust of 13590kN and a burn time of 103s. Second Stage: 6 HM7B engines with a combined thrust of 373.2kN and a burn time of 361s. Third Stage (Loki): 1 HM7B engine with a thrust of 62.2kN and a burn time of 748 s. This new launch vehicle features a more modern look than the previous Ariane rockets. Sleek white with the classic blue ESA colour for accents. This new launch vehicle is soon to hit the market and the launch pad too. And for the first time, you the readers will have a say in its future career... You can book a flight to launch your own mission on Kratos. As long as the mission is 1) Based in the real world 2) possible and plausible, I will launch it for free and make its own post on this forum. This idea allows me to share the magic of good looking rockets and ksp images to people who maybe cannot do it themselves. It also gives me something to launch, I'm tired of ore tanks lol So send me your missions, I can't wait to make them! Book here! PS: By the way, I go to school so getting the missions out could be a couple of days, or a couple of weeks, just depends how busy i am. PS PS: Timeline of launches is not chronological, could jump from 1995 to 2012 Mission List

KSRSS Adventures At the moment I've been feeling very unmotivated and every time I go to make a mission for my thread Space Station Liberty , I just procrastinate. This thread is a place for me to post any missions that are going on in my saves to try and gain some motivation again! This won't be weekly posts or anything, I'll just post whenever I feel inspired lol Hopefully this can kickstart Liberty and some other projects I'm thinking of Enjoy!

I don't know if this is the correct topic but I dare you to challenge me to do something in kerbal space program you decide what it will be. Im making this for fun and because im currently bored so give me ideas please

Steven's TUFX & Visual Setup Guide![Configs & Setup always WIP] I've been asked from the Moon and back questions such as 'TUFX Profile?' 'What mods are you using?' etc... I'm hoping this thread covers everything you need to make some really lovely screenshots. 1. TUFX Configurations I have 4 configurations that I switch between and that includes... Hassel (A warm configuration with chromatic abberation and slight grain) Hassel_Lesserbloom (Above config with less bloom ) Apollo (A config I created for Lunar surface environments, you will get artifacting on sunflares due to post exposure) Apollo_Lower Exposure ( Works better for LEO/LKO environments) Each config I use in different situations, if your not getting the desired results always switch profiles and give it a look! Experimenting with visuals is key to getting some beautiful shots! Installation Download TUFX & drag into your GameData folder Download the profiles provided below and drag them into your TUFX folder TUFX Profiles 2. Visual Mods These mods will enhance your visuals and will absolutely bring some beauty into Kerbal Space Program. Kerbal Sized Real Solar System (A Kerbalized version of the Solar System at Kerbal scale) Environmental Visual Enhancements Redux (Clouds & Aurora's with better performance than previous versions) Scatterer(Atmospheric scattering) TUFX (Post processing) Distant Object Enhancement ( Planets & distant vessel rendering with dynamic skybox dimming when looking at the sun) Planetshine (Ambient light & light near planets) Kopernicus ( Planetary system modifier which is a major dependancy) TINU ( Allows you to move the camera in any orientation) Waterfall (Changes the stock plumes into mesh based beautiful plumes) Poods Deep Star Skybox(Changes the Skybox to a more toned down one) These are core mods which work incredibly well together and are the foundation for a solid modded install. 3. Part Mods These are a list of part mods in which I find to be absolutley neccesary. Bluedog Design Bureau ( American Rocketry & Probes including Mercury Gemini & Apollo and even more ) Tantares, LV & SP ( Soviet Rocketry including any soviet spacecraft you can think of! ) Knes (ESA Rockets such as Ariane 5 and many more European concepts) EStreetRockets Mods (Rocket Motor Mengerie, Eisenhower-Aeronautics, Asbury-Western-Industries) Nertea's Suite ( Near Future Mods, Cryo Tanks, Far Future Technologies, System Heat ) Restock ( Overhauls the stock parts to have a consistent artstyle ) Universal Storage ( Adds new parts for creating service modules) Coatl Aerospace ( Adds parts based on probes such as Voyager & Cassini) And so much more!!! 4. Screenshot Tips Change your field of View! Field of view can make a dramatic difference in your screenshots. Mess with your visuals! Mods such as Planetshine and TUFX have values that you can tinker with go out and make your own configurations! Use the rule of three, try capture and compose the image to include different parts in different positions. Lighting is key in an image if you can't see anything then mess with ambient light or planetshine. Get Close! Bring out the detail in specific parts! Use V to switch between different camera modes. Holding the scrollwheel and moving your mouse moves your vessel off centre from the screen. Higher resolution will obviously get you better results, I play in 2560x1440, if you don't have a high resolution monitor you can supersample the image using BOSS or by editing the KSP config file. 5. Thank You Thank you to @Zorg@CobaltWolf@tony48@Vals_Aerospace@Zarbon44@EM23@Invaderchaos for your incredible talent and support.

Welcome to KRVE, it is a visual overhaul for Kerbin (And maybe the rest of the KSP system eventually) that will add fancy clouds, aurora, and a nice atmosphere. I am VERY early into development so I apologize for a lack of info. All I can give for now are some screen shots. Currently it features; 43k Cloud Texture Custom Aurora Custom TUFX Profile 8K City Lights Cloud Shadows Dependencies: EVE REDUX Scatterer TUFX Module Manager (bundled) DOWNLOAD: GITHUB It is Currently In BETA, there is a Roadmap in the README Thanks to: @Astronomer @themaster401 @ballisticfox0 for the screenshots This mod is built off of AVP assets so I have to thank them for the kindness of letting me use them for my own pack Licenses: KRVE is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA

K.E.R.B.A.L.S If Kerbals had more varied stats. What would you like your Kerbal to be like. You have 28 points you can distribute. K: KEEN. How smart is your Kerbal? E: ENERGETIC. How strong is your Kerbal? R: RADIANT. How good looking is your Kerbal? B: BADASS. How enduring is your Kerbal? A: AGILE. How good a pilot is your Kerbal? L: LUCKY. How good at not loosing control is your Kerbal? S: SENSITIVE. How good is your Kerbal at finding anomalies? Without bias towards you favoured aspects a Kerbal looks like this K4 E4 R4 B4 A4 L4 S4

If theyre plant based, do they eat other plants? are the animals plants too? what IS a kerbal? Split from the guess who will reply next thread Old thread:

Hi,There is a problem I face that when a kerbal dies *puff*,after that when they are reborn or found there rank goes down.So,is there an way increase kerbal rank without doing more mission?

Is their is a bug that makes ksp close,I know we all have experienced that but in this case it happens every-time when I load my save file it doesn't loads but closes automatically

I would love to have a Camera of the Groundcrew, just like the IVA cam. The Groundcrew could cheer when a Rocket lands on Mun or cry when it explodes.

The snow glows white on eeloo tonight Not a kerbal to be seen A life of isolation And it looks like I'm alone The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't land, heaven knows I've tried Don't let them know, don't let them see Be the good kerbal you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well, now its trashed Let it bust, let it crash Can't hold the fuel anymore Let it bust, let it crash Turn away and tell capcom the bad results I don't care what they're going to say Let the capsule crash The chance of death never bothered me anyway It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the kerbals that once controlled me can't get to me at all It's time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free Let it crash, let it bust I am one with the planet and sky Let it crash, let it bust You'll never see me cry Here I stand and here I stay Let the life rage on My parachute broke through the air into the ground My soul is spiraling in panic fractals all around And one thought crystallizes like an good burn I'm never going back, tell capcom my new life Let it crash, let it bust When I'll rise like the rocket of life Let it crash, let it bust That perfect capsule is gone Here I stand on the planet Let the mission rage on The chance of depth never bothered me anyway

Recently I have download the interstellar extended mod. Everything works pretty well except when I try to place a warp drive on a craft in the veacule assembly building (or space plane hanger) my frame rate goes to 0.1 and it’s so eye straining that I haven’t been able to fly or build anything with it. If anyone know how to solve the problem or has encountered the prob pleas help. Notes : i do have tweakscale and module manager installed with the correct versions : i am fairly new to the game so I could if made some stupidly dum and obvious mistake : yes I did extract the correct stuff from game data in the ie file. : running on Linux : normally get 30 FPS at least : frame rate does drop to 0.1 not joking I timed it

Kerbal Space Program's YouTube channel just posted this video: There are tons of really cool insights about the kerbals and it looks really cool. I also noticed some things like at 11:47, you can see that Jool has separate cloud bands that spin at alternate rates.
