As far as radial controls go, using any other tools in the Vab other than move is really confusing at first but seems more consistent. Setting nodes is a pain until you figure out that right bumper switches between prograde, radial, and normal. And last but not least, I absolutely hate fighting for control over my ship against the random phantom kraken force? When you have SAS on, I cant turn in one direction because force is pushing the other direction and when I turn off SAS, my rocket starts to irradically spin in some random direction and I lose control entirely. My last launch not only failed due to this issue but also tore apart my rocket and sent my kerbal into deep space (When you eva, sas turns off causing the issue again). I was so excited to start finally flying again but yeah... nope. Ill be lucky to land on anything at this rate.

The spacecraft shouldnt explode. Kerbals should die, then the ship gets deleted and chalked up as “Lost to deep space”.

Disregarding monetary and staff issues, the real question is “what kind of story do you want.” As much as I love career mode, it gets boring once you’ve gone everywhere. To answer your question in the second bulletin; a space race is literally the most obvious response. Aside from that we have colonization and exploration. We can already achieve exploration which leaves colonization. Considering that, we would probably need an overhaul for optional life support/breeding grounds (I dont even want to know how they manage...). Another great idea presented long ago was to construct new space centers on the other planets and start from scratch there. Once again that would require more content. Either way you look at it, if Squad ever wants to take this game further theyre either going to have to make colonization/construction an option or add more planets and I dont see that happening unless we can all agree on that fact.

I didnt bother to read the rest of the responses due to a time constraint, but I felt like giving my 10 cents anyway. My first thought was a Vtol Drone with the Klaw in the center that lifts the rocket from the top then flys it back to the KSC using jet engines. Do with it what you will, I guess.

I've been guesstimating since day one xD You can think we deserve compensation all day. All week for what it's worth. Its not going to happen. That's just the nature of things right now. (Best guess, they're using the income we provided them to pay Blitworks for the update)

Im just speaking my mind here.. Using Halo Reach for example, a player could make a map with in game assets (thats the right word, I think?), then other players could load said map assuming they had the players gamertag or found it in the list of thousands through a filter system. Couldnt they implement something similar with missions? Ive never played ksp on pc so Im not the best to talk but wouldnt it be like you choose mission type, set restrictions, then if you like it, you could upload it for other players to use if they choose? It wouldnt be so difficult then...

The more viable solution would be for Squad to weigh their priorities... Better looking parts, a short term mission maker, and Commnet or a literal goal for the game? (Preferably optional) For example.. Who on pc doesnt use Mechjeb or Kerbal Engineer unless they're playing stock for some specified reason? (Not to say there arent stock players but seriously speaking) Wouldnt squad be better off just providing us with the numerical data rather than making modders do it for us or no?

If I'm correct, there will be 3 steam sales from now until the end of 2017, so maybe I'll just buy ksp on pc and forget I ever paid for it on console. If we're lucky, we'll get the game update by Christmas, and I can go back to playing on the system I enjoy...

I play on console. Id rather it not be a mod I know thats just me but still something you have to consider.

Not sure about a "story" mode but I could understand a "why" to our contracts and things. Aside from money and rep, really what is the reason to keep going? To explore the Kerbol System? Then what? There needs to be some kind of end goal that feels both rewarding and replayable. Does that make sense?... (Not saying the game would end there. You should still be able to continue after achieving said "why" reason.)

Glad to hear the C word too, but I'm gonna stick with my intuition and not hold my breath. There's a good chance the certification will take quite some time too (when it finally happens).

What movie is this? I have to see it.

I cant because console version is broken right now. Until 2.1 is released, my hands are pretty much tied.

I get you.

If you've read any of the other forums posts regarding xbox and ps4 you would know they're working on one right now. Be patient. It will come.

If I didnt play on console, I would sooo be doing this! This sounds like a lot of fun.

I didn't say "bug the developers". I was just saying bring it to their attention that we care and they might take action. (The developers dont HAVE to read what we post either. Thats why making an "uproar" is the easiest approach. Not necessarily cause problems, but rather put our most agreed upon opinions out there so they have a better likelihood of reading what we post.)

Honestly, make a big enough uproar on this forum and I think it could happen in stock.

Thats not going to be a thing for us for a VERY long time (if ever). Aside from the obvious re-port theyre doing, they would rather fix the existing bugs first before introducing new material.. And therefore more bugs.

Im not sure whether weather (lol) is really an option and I love your idea of searching for life forms as an objective in the game, however I have to agree that off-Kerbin construction NEEDS to be a thing if Squad wants to take this game any further. Sure, we could keep following the Moar Boosters method and build colossal 2000 part rockets and SSTO's but seriously.. theres a limit to even that. By then your CPU is dying and the game stops being "fun". Hopefully squad realizes it soon.

Lol challenge accepted! Once console finally gets its update I plan on building the cheapest vanilla probe to orbit rocket

As a console stock player, I'd love to see more scientific instruments in the game however as "dvp" mentioned, scientific faming would remove a lot of the fun from the game. That's not to say however that I couldn't see it being a possibility. I myself enjoy lowering cash, reputation, and scientific reward gains simply for the added realism factor just as "Tyko" does (As its really all I have control over) and hope one day those changes get implemented into the vanilla game.

Sounds like a whole lot of reworking that would need to be done whereas a simple pivot is literally two pieces. Not sure why you think that's unreasonable. (On the other hand they're used all the time on real craft, so why not?)

I support this idea.

The "B" button not giving a response is the problem. Not the parachutes or the kerbal. Furthermore, this issue has already been addressed.
