Marooned on a moon after a botched landing yet again, the Kerbals huddle together around the Poodle engine (that doubles as a BBQ) and sing their version of "Jingle Bells": Dashing tru the regolith, In a one-engine lander, Vertical speed negative, Giving the ground a gander; Bells on Bob's visor, Chiming without sound, Hit by a geyser, Rolling along the ground; Jingle bells, jingle bells, Joyriding commander; Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-engine lander. Yesterday I determine, I thought I'd take a ride, And soon Valentina Kerman, Was seated by my side. Jebediah certified badS, Misfortune seemed his lot, His rover too low mass, And then he got upsot.

Accessibility is the feature I'm most thrilled about; As a father of a 2 year old, I can't wait to use KSP2 to play together in a way that I did with my dad. At first with him spectating, playing with the controls and watching the animations. Then, after a few years, learning from the animations and make the first attempts at building and piloting his own crafts. All while guiding him. And finally playing together in multiplayer, him guiding his old man..

I'm a bit late to the party, but what a surprise! As far as I know, you never once mentioned the revamp of Kerbin. I must say, it looks stunning! The sand especially looks amazing! The cyclic and collective additions are also very welcome. Good job as usual Squad!

The only downside is, this is one of those parts that, when you need it in an emergency, you forgot to bring along...

Yesss, a new part and function. Thanks Squad! Now we can purge that pesky fuel if needed.

This, and it's close to what I suggested. It would reduce the part count on craft as well as what is loaded in RAM on the computer. Both will make for a smoother KSP. Your suggestion and the procedural way could both be temporarily limited in size allowance in career mode if desired.

I'm a bit conflicted on this. Career is how I play KSP the most. During such a career, the science tree is an excellent way to steadily progress towards bigger rockets and further destinations. Part of why it works so well for me is every so often you unlock a bigger tank/engine to take your rocket to the next level. There's almost always a tank/engine for any occasion and I seldom have to stack multiple tanks because there's often a perfect sized one for the job. Except for RCS tanks... whereas fuel tanks have longer versions for any given diameter of which there are also several, the ideal one is bound to be there. But there's no such thing for RCS tanks. Those only get bigger and bigger and not longer. The same goes for wings. I often have to use several bits to get the perfect profile for a given craft. Oh and, for context, I play on a potato so there's that also. So you see I have two stances on this and both have merit to me. I would welcome procedural versions of things in career that won't break the progressional gameplay. Oh, I just had a last minute thought. Perhaps you could have procedural everything, but have it be restricted to certain sizes according to your tech level.

I have a feeling I incited this shipping-software-(un)finished-business when I almost jumped to conclusions, all while I only wanted to know the reasoning for keeping the old part. That was never my intention. I very much appreciate the hard work Squad puts in the game. Now I know that keeping the old part(s) is to prevent braking saves and deprecating it when most people have made the switch And that is a lofty goal in my book.

Posted 11 hours ago, Nestor said: "This will be the case for this revamp." So does this mean we have multiple obsolete parts being loaded into RAM for nothing? What a waste of RAM if that's the case. Resources aren't infinite. Why keep the old parts around if a replacement arrives? Don't get me wrong, I like the graphics updates you do, and this one also looks great, but I think optimizations should still take priority.

Wow, that's amazing! That has to be a very stable plane.

The stock landing gear has never made the game more than a little annoying for me, until yesterday. My Minmus lander can't even stand upright without the use of SAS. Without it, the lander slowly leans to one side until it falls. The gear seems made of rubber no matter what setting I use for it. Is this at least solvable or is it related to the issues most people have? I've never kept up with landing gear problem news until now.

This never happens to me because the thought alone of this happening is enough for me to consistently pause the game. I even pause the game when I know nothing bad can happen, like a craft in a perfectly stable orbit. This last bit is actually annoying to me, but I can't help myself. OCD I guess...

Nice, lots of improvements! The staging in the map screen was something I always wanted but always forgot to suggest. Glad it's implemented now! And you can count on me to check out the prettier planets and moons!

A nice little quality of life improvement to KSP. I love it! Thanks Squad!
