How do you know?

Give me power over the world. And I will finance this, as well as make engineers work more actively. After all, Skylon and Starship are the reusable rockets of the next decade to deliver parts for their construction. We can assume that everything is fine in this direction. At the same time, I was still silent about the "sail." Which can reach Alpha in 30-40 years. But it doesn't exist yet and you don't have power over the world.

Define 'reasonable', and how much money you're willing to spend. The drives we've seen them show for interstellar drives all are based on known principles and technologies. (Quibbles about metallic hydrogen aside - even there it's based on reasonable theories, even if there's major doubts about it working.) 1. Depends 2. But interstellar drives don't exist yet. But it doesn't exist yet.

If you're talking about jets on Duna - what real-world jet would you think could work there? What real-world rocket could get us to Alpha Centauri in a reasonable amount of time?

Unless it’s a nuclear jet engine what is possible then it isn’t a jet. Jet engines combust fuel and oxygen to heat up and expand air. A nuclear jet engine uses the heat from a reactor to expand air. Jets are a big part of atmospheric travel and they're fun to mess around with. Why would we only get one new type of jet?

Space plane, Duna doesn’t have oxygen How do you know it isn't a new type of jet?

The don’t think they are going to focus too much on jet parts other than giving them a facelift What about the jet flying over Duna?

So, player A on a transit to Jool has to wait hours to get an encounter because player B wants to time warp then do a multihour maneuver for the sake of torturing player A? Mods like Dark Multiplayer already have timetroll-free timewarp figured out, so I don't see why so many people want trollwarp in KSP 2. 1. KSP 2 will have much better performance, and massive space stations as big as the KSC itself will only be semi-physical. 2. Dark Multiplayer is fun with coordination. Didn't KurtJMac once contribute to a community space station with some other players? 3. Don't need to worry about timewarp if it works like it does in Dark Multiplayer.

Yeah, it would take all the fun out of tediously digging through the parts to find the right tank.

Since we'll be able to create colonies, I don't see why not just convert any craft into a part that can be placed anywhere in the colony. Edit: I'm stupid, this isn't the KSP 2 thread. Disregard what I just said.

Ah, thank you my friend! Which is why we care about antimatter and such.

Correction: It's a space simulator.

why would anyone want to do that. Why wouldn't anyone want to do that?

kOS2 will be just as easy to install. Do you have an internet? Yes you do. Also, the Mission Builder argument stands. But you can't automate the whole space center as they just said.

it’s a flight assistance tool. Turning the ship auto is a STOCK TOOL. It’s not even a mod! I wonder what this has to do with the question you're quoting. Okay, whatevs

[1.9.x] Anatid Robotics / MuMech - MechJeb - Autopilot - [2.9.2] [14 February 2019] The creator themself calls it an autopilot. Okay? What's this have to do with anything? Again, what's this have to do with anything? Yes. What about Mechjeb making a maneuver node or turning the ship for you isn't auto?

I didn't even realise you could go to the mountains west of the KSC!

May I know more of these limitations?

What does everyone have against Unity?

There is quite a nice free variant with a improved graphics and a great modding community: Oolite Yeah, but that's not really Elite. It's similar, but it's not Elite.

Okay, fine, going back and forth to expand the base. We don't need to shuttle stuff back and forth between x and y 100 times, which is why not having automation is silly in a game where you're going to have to go back and forth between an orbital construction platform and where you're getting resources for said platform.

GU isn't restricted to interplanetary travel, but KSP is. But it will always replace human reaction times and human irrationality. Yeah, but what about going back and forth between Space Station V and Munbase Alpha for an indefinite time to supply parts and resources? That's extremely tedious and you don't learn much.

That's easy to say if you've been playing for 500 hours and have no clue what newer players experience.
