KSP2 Release Notes

Since it's only a late mission addition, that's also expensive, this won't happen for a while. Though maybe things like Skylon could use it...
-
Should be: Beta Boom Beta Bang!
-
Wow. I hope by old SAS you mean pre-0.21 SAS, because that's what I was thinking as I read the earlier parts of the devnotes.
Great job! You guys work really hard for this game, and I can't thank you enough. Looks like you're a bunch of true kerbals.
-
No no... Moar Beta Than 0.90
-
Jim and Rozon are the best ones...
-
If only we could do this kind of mission for a Galilean moon...
-
Huh. So, a true space carrier?
-
Maybe like 1 ton? For balancing. Similar size to Mk1 too.
-
So, like an autopilot, but it's just replaying what you did?
-
Best case...
not it a planet at all.
An artificial environment like a Stanford Torus. That way we could control the environment completely. Plus, it can be built in any star system.
-
I'm pretty sure it's a box.
-
It gets tedious to move to other computers ( don't worry, they're mine!) but it does auto-update.
-
Huh. Weird. I had this exact thought ( although not with fineprint) a while ago...
Plus, each mission profile can be reused!
And maybe make it a tab at Mission Control.
-
The scale of this game is what attracts me... I kind of want to make a 600 meter radius earth and do all the calculations as to G and whatnot. That would be fun to play around with, imagine, a 6 km Radius Jupiter! Tiny, but huge too! It would be a neat little project to fiddle with.
Anyways, if this project does get shelved ( I hope not) can you release all the builds up to that point?
-
Well, KSP isn't 100% accurate... But it does teach you more about orbits than battlefield at shooting.
I think the main problem is that in KSP you just put stuff together in a Lego like way. It's not like that in real life. It take months to design and possibly years to build. Not to mention the constant threat of budget cuts.

Guys, just look at the STS NASA Proposal from 1969...
it had a good use for it
-
1001.01- a space Odyssey. Frank Kerman and David Kerman arrive at a large brown dwarf and discover microbial life on an orbiting body
-
Maybe #2 can be 0.625 meter and radial mount only.
-
Aren't elevons elevators on the wings rather than the tail plane? Yeah. Ailerons are placed for roll, elevons are placed for elevating.
-
I think most if not all of the species that it might be possible to get sufficient DNA to revive were made extinct by humans. DNA doesn't preserve well over geological time (it doesn't even preserve that well over much shorter timescales).
I was referring to environment change.
-
Close but no cigar. I'm human though.

"The world is so different than it was back then..."
I don't think you are aware on how recent the extinction of mammoths took place. There were still living mammoths on Wrangel island after the pyramids were build. It is likely, that mammoths didn't go extinct because of changing climate, but because of human hunting activity.
We have many "fresh" mammoth cadaver that were preserved in cold places. Getting a complete DNA seqence isn't really a big problem.
I was talking about extinct species in general...

2175- Human seed ship lands on Earth, restarting humanity
-
926- Kama enters system...
928- Andromeda rendezvous with Kama...
1000- Kama leaves system...

Work backwards from your final design goal. Write out what you want the game to be in a very descriptive way. Then you have to extrapolate what each step is. After that you figure out how you want to do it.
