I'll wait for the chickens to hatch before launching them into space.

New and exciting bugs forever! The possibilities are endless!

Stop adding new features which, history has shown us, will always bring new bugs. Spend two or three final updates getting the game as stable as possible. Leave it to the modders to add the things which should have been there all along. That is all.

To be honest, that's kind of how I feel about KSP1. I have hopes for KSP2, but I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.

You didn't know me at 9 years old.

Go look at the announcement thread. Don't let one negative comment erase all the positive reaction you do receive.

I'm not seeing how career mode is related to that FAQ.

I've always disagreed with this. KSP is about succeeding through learning. It's the perspective of the statement that's different. You know how I learned KSP? It certainly wasn't by trail and error. It was by going outside of the game and learning about gravity turns, TWR, and delta v. Failing in KSP hasn't been a common occurrence in my game for a very long time, and, guess what, it's still really fun! No constant explosions needed! I would much rather encourage people to play KSP2 through the awe inspiring opening shot of the Kerbin rise on the Mun in the KSP2 trailer, than the colony collapsing at the end of the very same trailer.

It's not just the new dev team that has pushed the lolsokerbal narrative. Now consider what the end of the KSP2 trailer says: Success in such a grand fashion...but, opps, your engineers are silly little Kerbals and now your colony is collapsing leading to the death of who knows how many! ...but it's funny, right!? I will quote Bac9 again and again until people get it. "I'm convinced the obsession with disasters and perception of Kerbals as worthless engineers only caring about explosions is destructive for the game. KSP deserves much more than being a glorified disaster simulator where rockets falling apart and crews being killed is the prime entertainment and the only expected result. The achievements of players who strive to be successful, who create beautiful, well-engineered, reliable designs, should never be devalued, and the opinion that going to space is impossibly hard deserves to be crushed and disproved over and over again. Kerbals are capable engineers and it's up to the player to utilize their technology well."

It also confirms that Harv doesn't even have a partial ownership of Kerbals, otherwise he would have been informed. It's sad he seems to have lost all rights to his creation. Though, that was probably a misstep early in the process, far before he knew what KSP and Kerbals would become.

Sadly, yes. #lolsokerbal

I consider this one of the biggist missteps in KSP's original design that was never addressed. One of the most visible challenges of manned space flight completely nonexistent in a game that purports to teach about real space flight.

Hey! Look! You answered your own question! About 2010 I think.

Incorrect. Correct. Squad hasn't been a marketing company for a long time as I understand it.

Holy cow. You're totally right. I'm going to sue EA for all the Maddens and FIFAs this instant. Fraud is fraud and we have rights!

Squad's been working on KSP1 for 8 years and they just recently starting replacing placeholders. Though, I agree, I think KSP2 will release basically complete.

Yes.

I said that so many times, and there were plenty who disagreed. It seemed so obvious to me.

They thought this thread was dead too. They were wrong.

Everyone knows the official forum is actually Reddit.

It's a genre. A genre with very few games, but a genre none the less. Simple Rockets isn't a copy of Kerbal Space Program, and KSP2 isn't a copy of SR2.

DRM free or bust. GOG or bust. We deserve to own the products we buy. Not rent them.

If you're old enough, you could always find some menial job opportunities and make some money. Do kids still mow lawns these days? I feel like working before your 20 is so last decade. Maybe I'm wrong. *goes to sit on his porch and reminisce about the good ol days*

The sell of Squad must have been under NDA then.

All those people that got sued for making Doom clones. I doubt there is any such thing. That'd be like saying ex members of Bioware couldn't make an Obsidian rpg. @AHHans Don't forget that Squad sold KSP to Take Two. Anything with Kerbals in it will need to be approved by Take Two. I think it's more than likely that the next Squad game won't be connected to KSP.
