Something to do with Asteroid Day. Should we begin the Hype?

[kenbobo]

engage the hype

[Jananton]

Nah, seen too many disaster movies about that already. LOL

The "something" Kasper hinted about in last Friday's SQ, is soon to be revealed

Speculation:

• Developer livestream of an Asteroid capture, to commemorate the occasion.
  
• An asteroid gets official "KSP-" name designation.
  
• PREVIEW of new procedurally generated asteroids, running on Unity 5.

Asteroid Day, sounded like a fun day to learn about and study asteroids! But turns out it's about keeping those little buggers from killing us all... this not bode well for the well being of my Kerbals...

Class F,G,H asteroids?

'Asteroid' is now a biome ?

Asteroids in new places (like between Duna and Kerbin)?

Asteroid impact missions (asteroids are on impact trajectory, stop them! or asteroids aren't on impact trajectory, start them! ) ?

New asteroid shapes?

It'd better not be the BS that they pulled for a dev note with the PS4 release which could have been done SEPARATELY.

[J.Random]

Nintendo64 port confirmed.

Wait, no. Atari.

Top suggestion on reddit is 3D printable asteroids ($49.99). Considering how well the previous 'get hyped!' announcements went, this should be interesting.

Isnt a separate team handling the PS4 port?

Both +rep

I hope they don't replace the devnotes with a pic like they did for the PS4 thing...

[Frybert]

KSP Sold to EA.

All PC development put on hold, XBox One port announced.

[Richy teh space man]

I'm going to wager an Armageddon style mission.. divert a planet killing asteroid mod.

[kenbobo]

KSP Sold to EA.

No.

[dan96kid]

I wonder whats planned......

[Cydonian Monk]

The Magic Boulder Strikes Back!

The Magic Boulder Strikes Back!

That would be nice.

[PDCWolf]

Maybe it includes making the asteroid system interesting? -real- procedural asteroids? More mass/size/texture/etc options? new locations for them to appear?

[smjjames]

I meant do the PS4 post separately from the devnotes post.

[Robotengineer]

What about expanding the resource system? Water, different ores, etc.

[pincushionman]

Why do we assume this is a product-related announcement? All I see from them is "It's Asteroid Day, we're participating!" I'm hopeful for new info too, but I'm not seeing why we should read anything deeper than that. I've only seen the transcript from Squadcast, a Facebook post, and three tweets, and none of them mentioned anything about making an "announcement" of any kind.

I think we'll see that with an introduction of stock life support (which will probably work something not unlike USI-LS). If thats the announcement, that'd genuinely be something interesting.

Maybe a Rosetta/Philae parts pack complete with harpoon and research/science drill?

Uhm, Rosetta and Philae went to a comet, not an asteroid. Asteroid day is for raising awareness about the fact a giant rock could smack into us anytime it wants to.
