i have the exact same Mac KSP works amazing. i haven't installed Windows yet, but i do have Linux on Boot Camp and KSP works way better on OS X. the only thing i really don't like about playing KSP on OS X is the KSP + OS X instability issue, which is almost impossible to play with in OS X 10.10.3 :/ that issue isn't because of OS X, it's because KSP 1.0.x is made with Unity4; which is not compatible with OS X 10.10.3 :/ so when KSP updates to Unity5, it should work perfect on OS X (no promises, they might also finish KSP 1.1.0 when a new Unity/OS X version coms out :/ so you never know) if you are patient, i think it will be better to just play KSP on OS X without shadows (fastest rendering quality); which fixes the KSP OS X instability issue, and wait for KSP 1.1.0. but having windows on a mac is pretty useful, so if your going to use it for other things too, then i think you should get it -Shawn-

nice

nice... i did the same on Minmus, but not on the Mun yet (i don't go there a lot). next extreme docking i want to do is dock two vessels in a low suborbital trajectory over Minmus or Mun

nice !

i totally disagree. well... they are a bit too heavy, but everything else about them is awesome now, this is just my opinion, and it's really a matter of taste. i really ike the textures and i don't mind how they separate, and my favourite thing about the fairings is that you can "model" them any way you want and use them as an interstage. closing interstage fairings is a bit annoying because it's buggy, but it's no big deal and i think Squad will fix that in 1.0.3 (which is coming out really soon). i think Squad did a fantastic job making these fairings.

i used to forget to add/deploy solar panels on probes, but i finally remember to (after a year of playing KSP XD) my current most frequent mistake? forgetting to leave space for an extra kerbal when launching a rescue mission, or forgetting to empty crew cabin/command modules that auto-fill when i don't need them to.

welcome Ninjagoblin ! this game is amazing... and it gets more amazing as you play it... i'v been playing for a year ! (can't stop lol XD) if you are interested, i'm going to be streaming KSP this sunday and maybe tomorrow. for more information check out the streaming calendar (Shawn's Space Program) or my channel: twitch.tv/Shawn28wt anyway, happy explosions ! -Shawn.

i'm starting in a few minutes...

oops XD forgot about that... i'm in Eastern Time zone

Hi everyone ! i finally made my own channel after a long time of just watching other streamers, and i'm going to be streaming today at 5:00pm to ~7:30pm ! i don't really know what to do in KSP at my channel today, so i thought i should make vote ! (i'v been playing KSP for over a year, so anything is possible ) so tell me what you think i should do from the following list: 1. continue my moderate career game (rescue valentina who is stuck on the mun XD) 2. play sandbox(if you choose me to play sandbox, you can also say what you think i should do, like 'build a mining base on Vall' or make a space station around moho') 3. any other ideas you guys have! i hope to see (not really see..) you guys at my channel tonight ! my channel: http://www.twitch.tv/shawn28wt i didn't know where to post this thread, so i just posted it here. -Shawn.

so... i entered my career game... collected some science... entered the R&D facility... no nodes ! any ideas why ? thanks -Shawn.

I'm using 2560x1600 and it works well, my UI isn't to small (if i'm not in full screen mode)... thanks anyway

i would try more anti-aliasing... and i know about the Ctrl+Click thing, but thanks anyway !

Ok... i'll try (it's not that i have no idea how to do things... i'v been playing minecraft for a loooooong time,modded it, and made servers... so i know what you guys are talking about, it's just that i only got my mac a few months ago so i'm still getting used to it, wich i'm already 99% used to (i think it's awesome !)) anyway, i'll try opening it with TextEdit. - - - Updated - - - Ok... it works... it did change the resolution and made the UI super tiny... but it still looks pixelish... i guess i can't change that... anyway, thank you all. and pixelish KSP does't make KSP less awesome ! -Shawn.

Do you mean the settings.cfg ? because it won't let me open it.

I'm playing verbal on my MacBook Pro with retina display (my screen resolution is 2560x1600 while my screen size is only 13.3 inches), and KSP looks kind of pixelish because it only lets me use 1200x800 any ideas how to change KSP resolution to fit my Retina display Mac ? thanks -Shawn.

Nice one !

It happened to me too, but i'm playing with mods, though not a lot. Antennas can't transmit while in fairings, but time warp kind of messes things up XD

Awesome ! good luck !

just a few of my (thousands) screenshots: note: they are all scrambled-up... just a few of my best can't send screenshots without imgur... i'll figure it out XD sorry about that... -Shawn.

cool lander... kind of small though... i think you should make your refinery around Minmus or make a bigger lander. anyway, i think your lander is well designed but a little to small/need more fuel. -Me (who else ?)

yup, it was the avatar... thanks !

Thanks ! P.S. i still have to land on Moho (that's a tough one)and Tylo (tough one too). P.P.S. still can't figure out how to add change my image... any suggestions ???

you have to get a craft in orbit around Dres to discover Drestroids

It's kind of hard to say because i don't know how your lander looks like, so if you send a few screenshots that would be useful... anyway, what i think so far (without screenshots) is that your lander probably doesn't have enough DeltaV because if you want to mine ore on the surface and deliver it to the refinery in orbit you need to be able to land with empty ore tanks and get to orbit with full ore tanks... anyway, it's not simple, but good luck screenshots would still be useful -Shawn. - - - Updated - - - P.S. what i would do is probably make a Minmus(or any other low gravity moon) mining operation instead on the Mun because it takes a lot less DeltaV to get to orbit.
