I’m satisfied.

Grammar? Oh okay, grammar it is then. Your satement saying “...one tablet model that might be able to run it...” did not require the elllipsis because it is not a segment of a larger sentence, also it is incorrect. Every new device from the past two years have had enough go juice to run KSP. I know this because every single flagship mobile device from the past two years has more power than the device I use to run the game in the first place, so me using good grammar in this post is not needed to attract any hardware savvy people that would simply say, “Well yeah, they have enough power, but the devs would need to work out memory management.” “...and a tablet is... Kind of a small underpowered laptop with no keyboard (which runs on a phone OS in this case), or a phone too big to fit in a sensible pocket... ...if you are suggesting that your monster tablet is more portable than a laptop, I will have to raise the fact that 11” laptops exist. I happen to own one, and it is quite portable. I get to type on a real hardware keyboard too.” Again with the ellipsis, c’mon. Ill make a bet that my “...small underpowered laptop with no keyboard...” has more power than your 11” laptop, but yes my so called “...monster tablet...” is infact “...small...” and it auctually does have a “...real hardware keyboard...” and ill bet it is still, thinner, lighter, and has a smaller footprint than your 11” laptop. Yes your laptop is portable, but its not as portable as my iPad. “Wait, you think this new port with new features and a from scratch control system will be cheaper as well?” Yes, That’s how these ports work.

I hope you realize that a laptop is not the pinnacle of portability also tell me, does Minecraft PE cost as much as Minecraft for the computer? No it dont.

Yeh its just kinda what came to mind. You get my point tho... Right?

I got 947 hours on that game and i would say that only 50 of those hours are with mods, but i see where you are coming from. Also there could be an in game mod menu that could directly connect to curse. Yes i agree, it would not bring many new players to ksp, but i can see current players downloading it.

I agree with everything that you just said... except for the first thing. don’t take me for an apple fanboy, I just happen to have an iPad Pro, and its the only apple product I have auctually enjoyed. How bout in 2 years 1. Resizing the UI would not be hard, it literally has a slider 2. You can play ksp on a machine with 512mb of VRAM and the recommended is 1gb, I’m not completely sure, but I think the iPad has that 3. Well... most android phones have enough ram. HAH, Seriously tho even though iPhones don’t have enough ram to run ksp, it could be optimized, maybe you could run lower textures even who’d a thought of that. yes I know if you did that most of everything would just be a solid color, but if you had texture on some parts, and a solid color on others, say the fuel tanks, and other world parts you could widdle down VRAM and RAM usage. But now that i think about it, yeah it would be impossible to play on a phone, BUT, the app can be whitelisted to only certain devices with above a certain spec, but then that begins to beg the question, is it worth it to make a game that could only be played on a select few devices... maybe, but I’m no software engineer so i cant answer that as I side note, i would prefer to play ksp with a large touch screen than with a xbox controller, because you can tap on things with a touch screen.

Digital drawing with a pencil. It is also compact creating a good note taking device, if you just go to your local apple store and screw around with the pencil you will get where I’m coming from. The console is completely different from a mobile device, the reason for why i think the console version was poop is because the consoles do not providing any advantages in KSP over some office workstation. But a mobile device does provide advantages, I hope I don’t need to spell this out for you, but it has to do with mobile.

The iPad Pro is targeting the creative market, and i can say with a fair bit o confidence you were looking at the maxed out 15 inch MacBook Pro which has the core i9 that it cant keep cool. But i may have stretched my words a little bit, ill admit, but i know I’m right about the graphics performance... geez I hope I don’t get proved wrong again... But i know for a fact that the iPad has enough power to run KSP how i described, but ill be more specific, ill bet it could run a 150 part ship at playable, maybe even enjoyable frame rates. regarding the controls you could have a hotbar for the action groups and deal with having no shortcuts and needing to tap on everything, most of ksp’s controls are optional shortcuts is what I’m trying to say, and all you need is a lil up down left right thingy like in Minecraft PE and a hotbar.

Okay I’ve seen all of the other threads and they all say the same thing “oh mobile devices are too slow for KSP screw off idiot” or “how I you finna play KSP on a 5 inch display my mans” yeh yeh SHUT UP. The device I’m typing this on right now is a 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch, it has enough cpu power to beat the most powerful mobile cpu you can buy (to my knowledge anyway) and its graphics performance is between a gtx 1030 and a gtx 1050, hence I could prolly build a starship to go over to laythe that would deploy kerbals, then receive them bac again then return to orbit around kerbin and it would dip to maybe... MAYBE 40fps in the process of doing so. So now I ask the question... KSP on the bus, or in class, or in the car, or in a backstreet ally anyone? also I would be fine playing KSP on my phone

Now its 2018 and I’m typing this on a 11 inch iPad Pro, it has more Cpu power compared to any laptop that is cheaper than $1000 and its graphics are somewhere between a gtx 1030 and a 1050, now I beg the question... KSP? Regarding the 5 inch screens would suck statement, this is a 11 inch iPad not a 5 inch phone, also what phone is still 5 inches
