I understand your point, but he was just pewdiepie doing pewdiepie things. I mean, everyone who sees his videos understands that under the random stuff there is an actual game which can be more or less interesting. People don't follow pewdiepie to see him just playing with a plan, we have better youtubers for that kind of show. The whole point of having someone like pewdiepie playing the game is to promote it to the people who are not interested in seeing someone with a nice rocket and a plan... because the "Scott manley kinda" followers already bought the game or are genuinely not interested in that kind of thing.

Moar videos? cool, I'll have to check that. The Dodger one was pretty random but fun anyway...

And? Whats the problem? Their money is as valuable as ours (actually more, since they will pay full price for it). Some newbies flooding the forums for some weeks in exchage to finance the development of new features for 24 more months? Looks good. He has been sponsored, it says it at the beginning of the video (on the bottom). I don't know how much money it costs, but if he is really capable to have 2 million people watching a KSP video in a bunch of hours, then it should be a ....load of money to be a bad business.

Dodger also did a promoted video: https://youtu.be/afV_73qICiQ No problem for me, they properly disclosed the whole thing, and the money invested will help potencial fans to know about the game. So, good job Squad.

Jebediah. Now he is dead. Serves me right for underestimate the reentry heat. Let's see if I can end the week without killing Val...

Thank you.

I think they will release it at 17:00-18:00 GMT Its a common hour for a lot of releases, and it would give them some time in the morning for the preparations, so it would make sense. I don't think they will release after than that, European people would get mad at them...

For some people the usage of atomic engines could be seen as cheating because, you know, double ISP than the other engines... At the end I think this is a very personal thing. If you don't like the current status of the system you could set the resource avaliability to 10% on the difficulty settings, forcing you to really pinpoint the landing area (not that easy unless you use certain mods). Or maybe just don't use the ISRU at all. I mean, how hard can be just create a subclass of the jool-5 thing banning the use of any resource extraction?

In my opinion that's the whole point of mod monetization. To let this people do mods for a living. Of course nobody likes to pay for something that was free before, but imagine the kind of amacing things some of them could do working on their mods 40h a week during months (or maybe even years).

KSP modders earning money from their mods? Not against the idea. I mean, they actually deserve it.

The science archives tab. Being able to check how much stuff have you done makes science an interesting feature even when the whole tech tree has been unlocked. It's like an achievents list. (I would love to have proper achievements in this game btw...)

Yeah, I know... My english is bad and I should feel bad about it. I mean, if I'm going to play with reentry heat, I want to play it with all it's implications and not just in the "begginers mode" which only will cause damage if I'm doing really stupid things.

It's going to be difficult to decide. I mean, i was going for the normal mode, but having an awesome feature like reentry heat just "half implemented"... I don't like the idea...

Cool thing about that, now the hard mode will be harder than ever. Less resources out there and less re-entry resistance...

I would go for it. I remember how excited I was with the completed investigations tab. Howeber, I don't see it as a long overdue feature. It will be countdown or non clipping parachutes
