What are you most excited about in 0.20 update?

[Scrogdog]

The VAB can induce hair pulling sometimes...

Glad to hear, well that's not what I mean, you know what I mean, that this happens to others!

Thought it was due to my utter n00bness!

Editor improvements slightly edge out performance stuff in my case because I have an awesome rig.

[lazarus1024]

The seats aren't control sources. They just allow Kerbals to sit on them, thus becoming control sources for the vessel themselves. If you build something with no command pods nor probe cores, the editor will pop a warning to let you know, which you can ignore if you know what you're doing.

But they won't be counted as debris? I am worried I am going to create a mun buggy with just a seat on it and have it disappear on me because I have debris persistance set to zero.

[HavinAlmassi]

That, and the changes we did to controls to support it as well. Now, when vessels decouple, the decoupled new vessel 'inherits' the control state from the old vessel, so if you had it throttled up, the decoupled bits will still be throttled up. That already happened in some cases, but not through the same mechanism. Now, this also applies to switching to nearby vessels, which means you can go out on EVA, and re-board later, without resetting the input on the vessel you left.

Cheers

Wait wait wait. Does this mean what I think it does? If I put a satellite into orbit and turn its strobe light on, will that light still be blinking when I bring another craft to it?

[engraverwilliam]

they should make one more control probe. make it tiny with almost zero torque. Or make the seat right clickable to say (INCLUDE KERBAL)

You don't have to be controllable to be better than debris. The seats set a minimum vessel type of 'Rover', even though they themselves don't provide a control source. That means vessels with seats are considered better than debris, but without someone on the seat, there's no way to control it (unless you attach a probe core or a pod).

Iam most exited about strapping a seat on an SRB and putting Jeb on

So for all practical purposes IS a pod, just that it's de-manned and have to be manned in order to be used. Thanks for the explanation!

[PwnedDuck]

I'm excited to add new parts to my colonies here and there. Laythe will be beautiful with normal mapping...

(and as seen from a cupola module even)

Ah, right, thanks for the clarification

[DrDima]

I really hope optimization works out for you guys. I know it can be a tedious task.

Also the new lighting updates look really good.

[UAL002]

Performance optimization. I've got a pretty haus rig but my station was approaching 350 part count plus. It was stuttering a bit. I'm starting fresh though.

[HGGundamReviews]

Harvester I have a question about the 0.20 part sorting I have been hearing about. Will this mean that parts from Mods will be listed under their own tab separated from the stock parts? That would honestly be helpful in a way.

[lobsterbark]

I'm excited about the new editor tweaks, and optimizations. Also, the new mod system.

Sa-veet!

Thanks!

[zarakon]

totally excited for more probe cores

because we didn't have enough of those already

[Moon Goddess]

I'm most excited about my work day getting done so I can go home and play it.

[eurybaric]

Upgraded debug menu allows parts and cfg files to be reloaded while the game

This is insane!! I can change stuff on the fly now and add parts without having to reload!
