I don't have the Steam version so I don't know how many hours I've currently played, but I had the game since January, and I still play it everyday for a few hours. The reasons I play it so much? 1. It's sandbox, so there is no end to the game. I can play for an infinite amount of hours and still not finish it. 2. There is always a new update every couple of months to look forward to and play once it comes out. 3. Rockets, Kerbals, space, and explosions are all awesome!

The Gilly encounters only look like regular trajectories for me once I switch into it's SOI. Before then, the encounter looks crazy and nothing like what it should be(must be the low gravity making the game struggle to show an accurate encounter beforehand).

You beat me to it! was just about to get a good screenshot of a Gilly encounter, they sure are weird...

Yeah, the time you're allowed to have those test parts is way too long, and I think it ruins the fun of unlocking parts in the tech tree. I don't really try to use test parts extensively because of this.

Just use two pods.

Cool find! I never noticed that. Now I want to scan EVERY planet and moon for unusual letters on the surface...

Me too! Even though KSP is still in alpha, and that it may have bugs, I put many hours of my life into playing it and definitely got my money's worth out of it (I can't believe it took me this long to make a forum account!).

I'm always tempted to do this too, but I try really hard to stop myself. I want to make as much money as I can in my new career save (as much as it takes to completely fill the funds meter sometimes ).

Contracts and funds. They add so much to career mode and make it a lot more enjoyable for me. You actually have to think about what you're doing now, and not just strap a bunch of boosters onto your rocket. Also, the addition of Mission Control accessibility makes the space center feel complete.

I would be playing 0.24 right now if it weren't for the fact that I'm currently installing a new graphics card in my normal computer. I doubt this tiny laptop will be able to run KSP without exploding. Anyways, the new update looks amazing, you guys did a great job on it!
