If that's full too - then I'll climb onto the roof. If the roof is full.. Undercarriage? O_o just get a EAS-1 External Command Seat and strap it to the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curveball Anders Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm not moving from me seat in the 1:st class diner. Sipping fine ale and cheering both the pre-release crowd on in their quest of finding bugs and Squad staff quest of fixing them. Currently it seems like to users are in the lead as there are 282 open bug reports for the prerelease But it's looking good so I'm still hyped for 1.1 proper.

KerbonautInTraining Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Not sure where else to post this... A fresh KSP 1.0.5 install is about 1.8 GB A fresh KSP pre-release install is about 3.9 GB They did say it's a big update but jeez (Not complaining, if anything it shows how much work has gone into 1.1) Edited April 2, 2016 by KerbonautInTraining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mischief Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Who remembers the early Karbonite Boosters from RoverDudes USI mods? I called this one 'The Morning Commute'. This is how Kerbals get to the Hype Train Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a hell of a lot for executable binaries (should be the only thing that needs to be duplicated), but maybe there's a reason for it. EDIT: Seems to be mostly assets. AFAIK those shouldn't need to be duplicated; meshes and textures and probably audio shouldn't be any different. Maybe just one of the quirks of unity? TL;DR: file size difference doesn't really show anything about the work that's gone into 1.1. (but the fact that it's now using unity 5 does ) Edited April 2, 2016 by armagheddonsgw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HebaruSan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have just returned from my first foray into sampling the pre-release (delayed by bug #7515, which has an easy workaround once you know you need it). I tried only Sandbox. I wrote down bad things and good things that I hadn't heard yet as I noticed them. The bad things will go into the bug tracker once I have time to check for duplicates and write them up, but I'll share the good ones here in the interests of boosting the hype. It should go without saying that these are only my observations, and some of these may work differently for other players (and I may have misremembered how 1.0.5 worked in some cases). Editing the staging is noticeably more responsive and less annoying If you rotate a part with the gadget and then pick it up to move it, it remembers the rotation I used to have VAB buttons' tooltips get "stuck" to my mouse cursor frequently, and I couldn't get it to happen this time You can use the 3-way attach nodes on the shuttle butt part while in mirror symmetry Ctrl-Z is noticeably faster Open the resource window in ship view, and it'll stay open when you switch to map Asteroids now have a description like "Small" or "Huge" in addition to a letter, so you don't have to memorize whether "A" or "E" is the largest "Warp To" did not skip past where I told it to go The heat bars are much easier to read now The 'g' hotkey for gear starts in a disabled state, so you don't have to press it twice to extend landing gear now I didn't notice a problem with the size of the navball or the readability of the text, contrary to other reports I kind of like the new VAB/parts lighting, feels like a more modern "flat" style My eyeballed lander touched down softly on Mun My pointless small Mk3 jet got to 36 km and 1244 m/s, then landed safely on that peninsula that kind of looks like Denmark, east of the one that kind of looks like Korea I didn't notice a single framerate slowdown or the dreaded "stutter" Overall there's a strong sense of polish that wasn't quite there before, as if the game knows what it wants to be now. Please note that it is currently April 2 in my time zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Dammit! In the middle of my hype, I landed on a particular pic on another thread about kerbal architecture, and due to the memory that sparked, I've had a slight hype decrease... where is the barn that we were promised? 1.2? Rune. Bring back the barn already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I suspect that since 1.1 is mainly the engine update and UI rewrite, 1.2 will be a 'content update'. I'm actually very hyped to play 1.1. The performance and smoothness reported by the pre-release testers sounds very much like exactly what I've been hoping for. With any luck. some more dreams will come true in 1.2.

Much of the content planned for 1.1 was actually released as 1.0.5 when they realised that 1.1 needed more time. There's still room for new content once the new backend is stable of course.
