i dont know how to forum Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Regarding the forum discussion, what will the spoiler policy be for any anomalies and hypothetical Planet 8s to be found once the game launches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how in a million years the discord could have seemed like a good idea. Did the mods just get bored of how organized and civil the forums were?

The forum has a "Spoiler" rule in which you have to discuss stuff inside a spoiler box. Like this: Spoiler OMG guys! I found planet 8! It's a habitable world just outside the orbit of Eeloo! You have to find it using a telescope though! (This was an example, not a real spoiler.) As to how long those features stay spoiler territory? Probably a few months at least.

WelshSteW Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Bej Kerman said: It really is. Unless you prefer to see a billion tiny explosions for each part like in KSP 1 rather than the giant cloud you should see when an entire rocket comes down. To each their own I suppose. I'd prefer to see an explosion that actually looks like an in game explosion, rather then something that looks like a crap photoshop, which is what that looks like? It's like the scene is there and they've dropped a graphic over the top. It doesn't look like the explosion happened on the launch pad. It look like two completely separate scenes badly chopped together. There's no interaction at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy that when my 5km tall rocket explodes, it won't just dissolve into a bunch of firecrackers on the ground, but rather produce an actual explosion.

It's just that I take them at their word that it's a total rebuild - so I expect totally new problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the mods just get bored of how organized and civil the forums were? Which part of "gathering new audience" is hard to understand? Discord, tiktok, are just that. Not everyone, as Pthigrivi nice put it, is an old fart and goes on forums exclusively (which was the case years ago because there were no sensible alternatives). Only because discord is.. challenging, at best, to moderate, especially when it's an official one, doesn't make it straight up bad.

There's not so much one specific part in "gathering an audience of people who are horrible to each other" I find hard to understand as much as I find the entire thing hard to understand.

Apperently Rumours has it, they are on their way/are already in Europe. What for? Nobody knows, but KSP2 also tweeted Kerbal plushies (maybe?) onboard a spacecraft from the ESA.

darthgently Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) One great aspect of the kOS discord is multiple help channels with a gently enforced etiquette to not interrupt ongoing problem solving dialogue. If the main one is busy, you go down the numbered aux channels until you find a quiet one. Dunbaratu, Nuggreat, and others do a fantastic job keeping it sane Edited February 8, 2023 by darthgently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
