I'm half-afraid that by the time it's released, other (better?) sandbox games will have my attention. The system of large pre-built parts seems to be sliding toward obsolescence, if not already there. ...they still got cuteness going for them though; hopefully they don't lose that along the way. by the time they release it i'll be a senior and have to focus on more important things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the parts as we know them from KSP 1 with „large pre-built parts“? If yes, why do you think that it is sliding towards obsolescence?

If yes, why do you think that it is sliding towards obsolescence? the newer games like KSP are all using procedural parts what let the player make anything they want without being limited by a few different sizes or lengths. even KSP's old dev Felipe Falanghe's new game balsa flight sim is using procedural parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You build the interior of the craft, program dials on the dashboard, build your own navigation systems, design deck layouts, electrical systems, piping, you build the engine you need using engine parts, you program HUDs to show you what you want to see. You wander around inside of your creation performing tasks to accomplish the mission. ...sometimes with friends on board. You work on huge craft with robotic parts and hinges that allow you to deploy and retrieve craft from the hangar bays of your ship. Comparatively, In KSP... You start with "Fuel Tank", slap on "Cockpit", add 3 "Fins", attach engine... Launch. Anything much more complex than that and you risk the wheels of your craft bouncing you off the surface of a planet, or not being able to use the fuel in your craft because the game is hopelessly bugged. So in a game about space, you end up spending most of your time piddling around building neat little jets and cool stuff on Kerbin and seldom leave the atmosphere. On the rare occasions you do venture into space, they don't bother to give you the spaceflight systems for the most basic of trajectory planning. Relying on mods for things like transfer windows and launch scheduling is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, of all the sandbox space games out there the only "real science*" one is basically KSP (and simple rockets 2, but that game can't keep up with KSP1, it has no chances against KSP2). I'd love a Space Engineers, Stationeers or Starbase build model on top of KSP's realism* and "space administration tycoon" gameplay, but sadly those great build models are always locked behind some cheap simplified space Minecraft openworld survival model and with absurd "just point straight up and you're in space" orbital mechanics. * No, I don't want to talk again of how unrealistic and bad-sciency Tinkerbell's fairy dust fuel is, is still more realistic than NMS or Space Engineers model of "space travel".

The threat is actually from non-space games... which are now beginning to dabble in space. Question is, will they employ orbital mechanics?

sawg Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Build the ISV Venture star from Avatar.

MrFancyPL Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The first thing i will do in KSP2 is making vehicle with landing legs and/ or wheels to test if they will drift on surface ( not like Tokyo drift, i mean while they are parked). If they not, I will proceed to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about like what I do, just screw off in atmosphere, and I absolutely love it, because I dont have to worry about POOFING Kerbals, I got EVA chutes, and they are never stuck in orbit, ever.

But, like the other 20 or so "space Minecrafts" has no orbital mechanics and realistic rockets. I'd love to have a similar game with the space flight of KSP.
