Hey Squad!
I've been a PC player since back before career mode came out, and just downloaded KSP Enhanced Edition so I could go through it with a friend who doesn't have a gaming PC. I would like to make an impassioned plea to include some rudimentary form of KER as stock for the console version so we can have some method of determining Delta V. Without the ability to download mods, this game seems unplayable past the early phases without a builtin method of calculating DV and TWR.
I've read the history of the decision to not include DV in stock (with the goal of not overwhelming new players with too many numbers) but I think its a bigger turnoff to find out there is a number critical to knowing whether you can successfully complete your mission but you have to calculate it manually on the console edition. I would rather have a buggy DV calculator ingame than have to sit there with my laptop calculating it for each stage of a 5 stage rocket manually. I encourage new players to get to orbit and visit the mun via trial and error, but I don't have the type of time in my life to use trial and error to figure out whether I can get to and safely return from Jool's moons. If it's necessary for me to play KSPEE on my xbox with KSP running on my laptop just to get DV numbers, then that seems like a punishment rather than a feature.
Great game, I am thoroughly addicted, but can we just get some sort of DV calculator built into stock even if its only for KSPEE?
