I assume he means steam, Xbox, ps. But I guess they could also be in-game where (in career mode) these achievements count as your milestones too.

Personally I don’t like the idea of having this in the game. I just think that as soon as it’s even an option in base game, it doesn’t really give the same feeling of the first game where everything is manual and you need to know what you are doing in order to do it. However, if it was a mod (or a free/cheap dlc) then people can choose to get it if they want to, rather than it being base game and everyone has it in the back of their heads that if they wanted to they could automate a big part of the mission. The way I see it, you also have to remember that a big part of succeeding is failing, and by having it automated you are much less likely to have failure and much less likely to learn from the mission and apply the new skills to future missions. But it’s all personal opinion, that’s just how I feel about it.

As we have seen in trailers and have been told by developers, the colonies that can be built will be huge. As far as I know, all the ones we’ve seen so far implement a full VAB and launchpad. What I’d like to know, either from your thoughts or from developers themselves, is can we build small communities of say 12 Kerbals like we do now on KSP. No VAB, no huge scale production sites, just a simple little base for a few Kerbals to stay. Would that be something we can do in the base assembly editor? Or would bases like that have to be built the traditional way of just landing them ourselves? I just feel that these small, initial outposts make sense for us to gradually colonise other planets and moons, and would be a good starting place to upgrade and eventually go from a base of 6, to 30, to 100, to 1000, etc. over a reasonable period of time, and with that also go from a rough landing site, to a solid one, to a VAB, to a Runway. Or we could keep it as a 6-12 Kerbal community forever if we choose to, and have little bases like we do on KSP currently just for the fun of it. Just a few things I’ve been thinking of for a while.
