I suspect the forum is going to go through some big changes here soon. I mean, we're missing some major forum segments: KSP 2 bug reports KSP 2 Add-ons -KSP 2 Add-on Discussions -KSP 2 Add-on Development KSP 2 Challenges & Missions KSP 2 Spacecraft Exchange KSP 2 Fan works -KSP 2Mission Reports, Do any of the mods know when these will get added? (Please do not ping any mods for this question. I do not wish to bug them unnecessarily) We’re working closely with the forum mods to get everything ready for launch. All in the works!

I doubt they even have insurance… 3 hours ago, Bej Kerman said: 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 discord is tolerable with brutal and ruthless blocking. I’m not seeing any more space cat, agony Kerbal react, or news posts of any size now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some pretty sketchy actions from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astr0Guy5 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Just saw this video and noticed reentry effects at 0:20. Iirc we haven't seen those yet, so either I've forgotten or the video's a hoax. I'm thinking the latter, but what's the general consensus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everything else there is valid, so it would be strange to throw in a fake right in the middle of a bunch of legitimate, very confirm-able screenshots. I'm willing to bet it was something we missed, probably a one off. I feel like the probe also looks familiar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just some guy rolling through KSP social media and grabbing random pictures, making views on them. This was posted by someone from the community, either here on discord, can't remember, as merely a hope for how it could look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aziz Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Well I swear I've seen it here somewhere, maybe it was deleted for offtopic for some reason, or link to picture died, idk, can't find it. Either way, there's a lot of misinformation on non official channels, so I'd be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Drives are only good for interplanetary trajectories, not interstellar, from what I understand at least. Well, most Orion drives. The Orion Battleship might be suitable for interstellar travel due to it being literally the size of a small state, but they aren't showing the Orion Battleship. They're showing on of the smaller Orion Drives. It would make more sense to give us Orion drives at launch of EA or at least with Colonies with orbital construction. Oh no, an Orion drive can do interstellar as well as anything else can. You have the advantage of non-cryogenic fuel. It has a lot of advantages for interstellar.

I doubt Orion Drive can get up to even 1% the speed of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'd argue that Orion acceleration could compete with the Crucible, but at the same time, the amount of material required to reach similar speed could be a lot heavier, even if charges are tiny, limiting range by a lot.

Hmmm, I guess it is more a fuel issue than a speed issue. Yeah, fuel/range issue not speed issue. Don't know what I was thinking earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
