Great update. Looking forward to more. Also good to hear some sticky bugs are getting fixed, I'm sure they were a pain to figure out and address. Those clouds are amazing, can't wait to fly through them!

I'm really happy to see this communication but it didn't really scratch any itches for me. Nate, I almost want to hear more about how you plan to communicate moving forward than hearing about the next patch. The next patch to me should be coming soon and itll address whatever your team focused on which is a positive step forward. How do we improve communication. How can we help give feedback to your direction while you progress. It feels like we are at risk of building to requirements that may be disconnected from the stakeholders needs. Better communication, earlier and more meaningful can help us avoid that. I really like KSP2, I'd like to see it mature to a state that keeps this community strong.

It's easy. Just get good But seriously. Getting interplanetary is not the easiest right now (and sometimes not even outside of Kerbin) so I wish you the best of luck and may the kraken slayers bless your voyage.

Agree, extended family groups was the standard social unit until 10 K years ago. Yes it was larger units but they was mostly to meet others, trade and solve conflicts. Slavery was mostly ancient, it died out in most of the world, yes you had forced labor, but much softer. Slavery got an upswing after colonization of America as it was an labor shortage. Now part of the reason slavery died out in Europe and probably other places is that slaves has an added cost, you have to hire guards to keep them in line or treat them well enough that they stay. If you can hire people cheap enough why use slaves, if you have enough hungry unemployed they are likely cheaper. Back in the bronze age wage labor was not really invented yet, you was part of the family or you was paid for an task like gig or day work, or you was an slave. Rome and some other place probably took so many slaves because their wars they became an slave economy. Taking Jerusalem after the Jew revolt paid for Colosseum. Imagine wars being profitable, expensive weapon system has multiple benefits

They do look even more impressive, but Blackrack is famous for his KSP1 mod Volumetric Clouds.

Ugly orbital station for the Mun. Yes loyal followers, I continue to dance around a proper Duna mission. I don't know if I'm overcomplicating things or what, but getting there a third time is really beating me down. 25km orbit which passes almost directly over one of my previous missions. This was supposed to be an uncrewed mission. It wasn't until after I took the previous picture and turned the HUD back on that I realized Tim C. had stowed away... The solar panel placement is not EVA friendly so when I did EVA, he kept colliding with the craft. After getting free, somehow that turned my almost perfect 25km (25,119/25,096) orbit into a 29km AP/24km PE. I shudder to calculate the eccentricity of that.

Yes getting into orbit orbit after flying in the atmosphere of Saturn. An nuclear ramjet switching to liquid hydrogen then atmosphere get too thin even then hypersonic is the closest tech option.

A classic medevac chopper:

But movies has an timeline of 2 hours, so story need to be short and therefor simple. Having two grey factions is great in and multi seasons tv series or an +100 hour video game, not in an 2 hour movie. Heard lot of calls for simpler enemies. Now if you can do this if the villain motive understandable like the ship AI in Wall-E. And it was correct, returning to earth would be an hundreds of year process, humans could not survive on earth yet. The villain part was trying to keep status quo at all cost.

*Cough cough* angle of incidence. As in the angle the fuselage meets the wing, vs angle of attack which is the angle the relative wind meets the wing. I know you meant the correct thing

Talking about necroposting…

I like the shinies. They’re fun

I think it has more to do with it being an adventure story, than sci-fi or fantasy or whatnot. In an adventure story, you want ADVENTURE, not politics and subterfuge and layered characters. "These guys are bad and we're fighting them because we're good" is the quickest way from title screen to action.

They pretty much have to. The parts are likely stored internally in a database and to correlate the tables together the most efficient way is with an id number.

WHELP. So much for that, I guess.

Nope @ColdJ

That top stage looks very Von Braun

Me too, runs fine-ish for everything but ram

Have you ever looked at MKS? ...Kolonisation Congratulations on your achievements and all the enjoyment and entertainment you gained from KSP!!

But did we? Cause those clouds A. We haven’t seen and B. Those clouds are AWESOME

I wonder if the more jagged non-weathered quality of lunar rock and dust will make better aggragate and stronger concrete in that respect. Maybe offsetting the lowered strengths of other aspects described. Do lunar dirt simulants have this same jaggedness? Idk

PLEASE tell me there are more VFX fixes and improvements for reentry soon
