neurotoxin Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I appreciate your work, and I understand the situation. I understand that reddit, somethingawful, etc. are useful ways of communicating with different parts of the fanbase. At the same time, I would suggest that this kind of information should be released through the KSP website and the KSP forum first. This isn't to put down users of those other sites, but I suggest this kind of information should come from the most official channels first, not posts on 3rd parties.Pretty much everything you said. It's just disappointing that rather than the 100 page thread on a forum dedicated to the game and run by the company the first direct information shows up somewhere else. I'm glad there was/is communication just slightly disappointed that it wasn't here first. It's not a huge deal at all just irksome. I do however appreciate Rowsdower showing up to confirm pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegrade Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Post it naoooow. With boosters on it.Actually that's probably the delay in 0.24.They forgot to add moar boosters to compensate for the increase in payload! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGatsby Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I was actually looking for approval on a forum message just as soon as I saw the thing on SA. It's a bummer that I didn't get to make it first, but it was made nonetheless. The spots you usually find me around are always the ones that'll get my attention first and yes, of course the forums are included It's a tricky balance. Thank you for working hard at it!

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Everytime I come to the forum and it takes forever to load, I think it's been released. Nope, just a bunch of people burning the server before .24 is even released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alshain Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 And we've got an FAQ.0.23 mode? Was that what you had up your sleeve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xacktar Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Poor devs... second time they've had bugs appear right at release. We'll be patient, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonide Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not much new information in the FAQ other than the fact that the contracts are really...really moddable. You can add new agencies, new agency mentalities, new objective types, new contract types, agency interactions, all sorts of stuff. I want to take a look at that and hopefully double the contract type count, which is five at release.I hope 0.25 is the kerbonaut patch, that makes that facility that hasn't been used for anything yet usable. They mention in the FAQ training and recruiting kerbonauts with funds, but first they need skills and levelups/progression. That's one of the last important bits of career mode.

I want to take a look at that and hopefully double the contract type count, which is five at release.I wonder if some of the more inventive modders will come up with a way for people to script custom missions from their own games(with their own crafts/flags) and send them to other players with ease. Interesting times ahead, to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlowerChild Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 And we've got an FAQ.Rowsdower, with the focus on moddability in .24, did you guys happen to make the career mode tech-tree more moddable as well?As far as I can tell there's no way to currently modify many aspects of the tree (like add additional nodes, or create additional dependencies between them, or what have you) while adhering to Squad modding rules, so I've had my fingers crossed that this might be something that would be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I hate to admit it but I'm more looking forward to what the community does with modded contracts, than I am with the contracts themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FleetAdmiralJ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 well boo about it not coming out today, but I guess if bugs happen, then they happen. I kind of feel like it'll either be out tomorrow, or we'll have to wait until next Tuesday, which would suck.Boo to last second bugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
