    So those who don't know they just recently updated the KSP website: https://store.privatedivision.com/game/kerbal-space-program-2 There is some interesting stuff in the source code. Unfortunately nothing too revealing from what I have seen so far. The release date of 4099791600000 is just Dec 01 2099 in Unix, so unfortunately no luck there. Does look like there will be a countdown however.
  3. MechBFP
    Correct. The difference being of course that the KSP devs don’t have the benefit of an already accurate calculated look up tables for their solar systems for however many thousands of the years that will be needed as a result of interplanetary travel to cover any potential timeframe a player might exist in.
  4. MechBFP
    Well that is just plain wrong lol. How about not ignoring things like Orbiter using a pre-calculated existing model for the solar system orbits and the game only doing n-body on one or two vessel for starters?
  5. MechBFP
    Or alternatively they just label it pre-alpha even if it 1.0 content because they can.
  6. MechBFP
    Pretty sure this has already been determined as being fake.

    I'll eat my hat if I am wrong, but simple experience tells me this, at best, a cinematic created with "in-game assets". You'll see soon enough I guess lol.
  8. MechBFP
    Also possibly that, true. I couldn't be bothered to watch it again to see if that exact scene could be pulled from it or not. It could also have been cut footage from back then too.
  9. MechBFP
    It is not. It looks identical to that original announcement cinematic, so it is guaranteed to be from the next one. What it does tell us is that we can expect to see another cinematic video though.

    “Free” software is a very particular philosophical argument and it certainly has merit when it comes to software, that if restricted to payment, would have wide ranging implications in terms of accessibility and usability of other software (free or otherwise) or inaccessibility to broad topics of knowledge. Of course if you ever got a chance to hear someone like Richard Stallman talk they are purely on the side that ALL software should be “free”, but that would obviously curtail a lot of entertainment software development or inevitably lead to “loop holes” being developed to bend the intentions behind something like GNU, which would likely lead to a much worse solution in the long run than simply paying for the software you want.

    To be fair MW5 only hope was store front viability given the unfinished mess that it was. Don’t get me wrong though, as a MechWarrior fan I had a lot of fun with it, but it was a fairly bad game otherwise.
  12. MechBFP
    The problem is the interest period varies wildly.
  13. MechBFP
    Oh for sure, no doubt. But people will get bored of it eventually and having heard about KSP2 around the same time might mosey on that way.
  14. MechBFP
    That’s the thing though, they are not similar games, not even close. That is the key.
  15. MechBFP
    That is virtually guaranteed to be the goal for sure. Especially with a game like Starfield coming out around the same time, further peaking interest in space games, it would be pretty terrible to miss it. So in my opinion the game is coming out in 2022, hell or high water.
  16. MechBFP
    Play the in game tutorials, but install this first.
  17. MechBFP
    Honestly the only thing I took away from your post is that the game could be even smaller than Microsoft Flight simulator, given the cheaper price. Don’t think you made the argument you thought you were.
  18. MechBFP
    Feel free to clarify what you think that means, in detail.
  19. MechBFP
    Neither do you, so maybe keep that in mind.
  20. MechBFP
    This is my belief as well. The complications of trying to do it otherwise is an extreme time-sink and adds very little to the gameplay. That time could be better spent on almost anything else, frankly.
  21. MechBFP
    Since it doesn’t really change the analogy it doesn’t matter.
  22. MechBFP
    I just voted for the joke options for funsies.
  23. MechBFP
    Things like that is why I think it will be fully abstracted. Although it would be amusing if you could do something like crash into an automated ship and ruin the supply run.
  24. MechBFP
    We will have to wait and see. If I was a game designer though I would abstract the actual travel portion and simply spawn in the ship during the times the player would see it, such as landing, takeoff, or when your ship is getting close to it, as that is really the only parts the player is going to care about.

    1) Better engines/better fuels. 2) Orbital shipyards. All that is needed to make it easier than Eve.
