Hi, I came back after a few months break from KSP and I had the same feeling as the OP when I saw that the new additions like Science and now Contracts were ok but did not really improve that much the career experience. Does someone know why it takes so long to flesh out the game (problems in the team ?) ? There are already so many mods. Are the devs still on the Tycoon path ? It would be really awesome to see something like that. Like having cities around Kerbin and opening airlines between them with the planes you built (or even something with rovers). Same for colonies on other planets. Anyway, I am a bit afraid to play right now. I dont want KSP to be like Minecraft was for me. I played a lot during beta, stopped then played again after final release and felt so bored that I couldnt finish the adventure mode. I felt sad for that. Maybe early access games dont suit my gaming style...
