My laptop with i5-9300H , GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q and 8gb ram ran KSP2. Although low FPS and quality settings. I've had no major bugs yet. Will mostly play on my desktop, and expect higher FPS on that. I landed on Mun in first go with a simplistic rocket and no landing legs, no sweat although I really missed seeing TWR for each stage in VAB. :S Experience from KSP helped choose working parts for the right TWR. I expected more parts, and perhaps some science parts too.. but then EA. Hopefully it gets added fast. I find I lost interest in further exploration with what I found in the game so far, and prefer reverting to KSP1 until further content is released. I guess I will check in once a month or so until I feel it piques my interest again.

I feel this is precisely why consumers do have a role to play in guiding the large corporations in an ethical direction. I whole heartedly agree that we need to have more focus on developing "(work)culture, art, self education and the encouragement of empathy, critical thinking and responsibility." Still, if those managing large corporations are so distanced from the implementation of their decisions that they disregard the consequences of them, we'd have no option but to "hit them where it hurts", which is the bottom line. Profit. So boycuts or policy regulations still have parts to play in society as it exists currently.

I appreciate that developers are still confirming that the end product will be great, but I'm still quite saddened by how Star Theory came to an end. I also wager the half that haven't been employed by Intercept/Private Division feel different about the situation right now. Hopefully they can also appreciate how KSP2 eventually turn out. I hope at that point in time I feel better about Take Two and their business management concerning development of this game.

I just now found out about the Take Two poaching of Star Theory employees, and although it's true that many facts are unknown I fail to see how anything can completely justify going out on LinkedIn and employ a third of the development team leaving the company both short staffed and without work. If you're not satisfied with their work, fire them, don't dismantle the company. I signed the petition, simply because I was really looking forward to a well funded and modern take on KSP, and then I hear about such unethical management of the process. As much as I looked forward to trying KSP2, and seeing what it has to offer, I can do without it if this is how it's to be developed.

Good example, I agree with you. This guide has helped me a lot when I struggled with how to put together a stable spaceplane. I'm by no means good at it yet, but the concepts are sound. Just take a look at the first part that covers balance, where the author writes: "Basically, CoL in front of CoM = flip happy. CoL too far behind CoM = lawn dart."

Hi everyone I'm thrilled to announce myself amongst this great spacefaring community of kerbonauts. I have to say that a mere minutes after loading Kerbal Space Program the first time, I was thoroughly hooked. According to my wife it's a waste of time, and my two year old son just casts me strange glances and whispers to my wife: "What is dad doing?" But still, the game is simply put brilliant and I find the career mode continually rewarding. You start out without more clue than putting together a command pod and strapping a "big" rocket underneath it and watch it shoot off - and just want more, more and more as you go on building yet another spacecraft. Hope I can contribute to some interesting designs and great voyages soon. Now hopefully the coming couple of days off work will allow for planning and executing the first trip to Duna. :-D Itching to get home to get started...
