AlternNocturn

Whilst attempting to rendezvous around the Mun, my periapsis dropped to about 5.2km and I came REALLY close to some mountains, but never hit them. Perhaps the new minimum is somewhere between 4.5 and 5km?

Realistically, I'd like the continued development of career mode and POSSIBLY the inclusion of mining/resources gathering.

Yep. It completely undoes the mission/launch as if it never happened.

You can end the flight by either reverting back to VAB/SPH (acts like the mission never happened) or by going into the Tracking Station and either terminating the mission (destroys it, Kerbals die) or recovering it (only works when landed on Kerbin). Also the Abort button is only for the "Abort" action group, not for ending the mission.

Having finished reading H2G2 the other day, I finally get all of these references!

Sandbox isn't going anywhere dude. Career and Sandbox will exist side-by-side.

Squad gives us access to their game early and some people want more. Oh, gaming community...

That is not how it works. The devs usually reply to complaint threads and then push a hot fix later on that fixes it. You don't need stickies or apologies or whatnot, that doesn't fix problems.

This isn't new, I've been getting Billy-Bob(x) Kermans since 0.14 (or whenever persistent saves was implemented). I don't know how they managed to evade you for so long.

Nope. If you go into the training facility and look at the "Lost" tab, you should see Jebediah with the words "missing in action" next to him. I lost a Humnard Kerman and that's what it said about him in that tab. Eventually he reappeared in the "Hire" tab.

I'm having no troubles with the update.

I'm building a miniature space station in orbit around the Mun, and not once have I had a problem with the new SAS regardless of the fact that I'm still getting used to it. I don't understand the complaints.

First thing I did was launch a probe to try out the new SAS. After I determined the new SAS was a godsend (or a Squadsend), I sent a mission to the new Mun and landed in one of the new craters. Solid update.

SAS has worked fine for me so far. And we shouldn't forget how well it handled Yargnit's massive Saturn V replica during the KSPTV Marathon. Your rocket design is probably flawed.

With pretty much every KSP update, the end product always matches or exceeds my personal expectations and public "hype". In some cases, yes, that is true, but in others, not so much. It's really hit-or-miss when it comes to entertainment.

bought the game a few days after 0.14 came out, but the first version I downloaded was either 0.9 or 0.10 EDIT: scratch that, my first version was 0.8.5. It was right before struts were implemented.

The game would probably be exactly the same. They might make Squad develop a sequel with multiplayer and/or charge for DLC (like every company does), but that's about it. I just don't get this massive EA hatred. It's not like they kicked your dog, they just publish video games. Granted they do some questionable things but it's really not that serious.

Anyone here played Metroid Prime? Remember the boost ball ability, how difficult it was to get the hang of the first time, but then eventually you realized that you needed to boost right at the bottom of the halfpipe to build up enough speed to get to the top? I think it's the same thing concerning the Oberth effect.

Assuming 0.21 came out tomorrow, I'd only be partially happy. Had they not promised Career Mode, I probably would be fine with the game as it is in 0.21. But right now it's a sandbox game with a massive well of potential just waiting for the devs to come along and make it a reality.

At one point, I was calling my Russian-based space program the Keschanka Union, which is actually K-syndrome for "peschanka", meaning (according to Google Translate) "gerbil".

I don't know if it's still updated, but there was a mod by DeadBeef called Dynamic Warp that let you warp faster than the game would let you at certain times. So I'd be warping around at 20x time warp at 100km for example.

Updates are released at the same time, but judging from my past experiences with the Squad store (sorry guys! ), Steam users get it quicker.

Ahh! And here I'm stuck (well, I chose to do it, but still) collecting the last of my free drops from Offspring Fling. Also does anyone know if the developer gets paid if I buy a card from their game?

Excuse me while I go unlock all of the cards.

I've tried the Windows 8 previews, right up until the Developer edition. I know, I know, glitches, bugs, unfinished, etc., but I ignored all of the obvious bugs and looked at the underlying system objectively. What I saw, I liked, and at one point I've even used the Developer Edition almost exclusively for a while because I liked it despite some of the minor glitches and odd things. Eventually though, it fell out of favor with me because of how tedious is now was to open up simple things like Computer and Control Panel and also to configure devices etc. I prefer Win 7's streamlined Start Menu version. My ideal Win 8/9 would be: bring back the Win7-style start menu, keep Metro and dumb it down for the PC, having it only as a place to organize files off the desktop, let me choose between starting up in Metro and starting up on Desktop, and get rid of or revamp the "Ribbons", and I will be a happy camper.
