I play on a 42" plasma TV. The game is unplayable at 1080p, because the font and UI are so small. Maybe if I sat 2ft away from the screen it would be ok, but Kerbal is being marketed as a game for the Steam Machine, streaming to a tv in Big Picture Mod, and using the Steam Controller.
I had no idea they were working on the UI at this time. Nobody said any particular details about it. Scaling might not be implemented at all. I didn't even think about the console versions, and they have a larger UI?
@StarManta You raised a lot of good, technical points. If Squad fails us, would you make an addon to increase the size. lol
After they officially released Kerbal, I just assumed nothing big like, well, a bigger UI would be added. This is a necessity for many players though, and I'm sure there are more. They just don't complain. All I am asking for is something almost all modern games do.
