The only things I'd have them add are things that make the game look better (E.V.E., 4k textures, Distant Object Enchantment, B.A., etc.). Anything other than that should be done by themselves so it feels stock. Mods are to go in depth with certain aspects. Adding detail to every bit of the game would make it too large and complicated. That's why they're doing DLC/Expansions for some things.

I accidentally added the NIC the first time, thought you had one in the original build. You don't need a NIC if you're connecting the PC to a router. As for the cooler, like I said before, it is unnecessary since you're not overclocking. You can still have one, and it will keep your cpu cooler and increase its max life by a little, but it's not really worth it. The stock one is fine, like cantab said. If you REALLY want a better cpu cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a great cheap one (I use it myself), albeit a bit large. Since you're spending a bit of extra cash, I'd reccomend spending $30 extra on the CPU and getting a 4690. It's currently the best i5 for gaming, and the newest. (I was going to use it in my build, but I got an opportunity to get a 4790k instead, though I'm sure the difference isn't much).

Bought before Steam was an option, transferred later. This was also when downloading an update on the day it came out was something to be proud of.

More planets.

I'm editing the configs for the save so it's a custom system. My problem is, the SOIs of the a few moons I've created (particularly the ones furthest away from the primary) are so large they're overlapping and cause some problems. However, now that you mention mass is a factor, I will try editing that and see if it fixes the SOIs of the bodies so they are a bit more realistic EDIT: It worked, but now the gravity is out of whack everywhere!

Yes, the part you really don't want to skimp money on is the PSU. This happened with my CX, but somehow it manage not to do any damage to any components that kept it from working when I got it replaced.

If you have one, I really wouldn't worry. With PC parts, it's rare that they will be broken/explode. This applies to all PC parts, the chance is low, but it will/can happen. Most of the time you can send the product back and get a replacement, or a new product entirely. It's more of a hassle than a disadvantage.

Yes, most of Corsair's perform just fine. However, the CX series in particular is notorious for fiery deaths.

First off, let me compliment you on creating this amazing mod. It's the sole reason for me returning to KSP. Second, I have a question. Is there any way to change the SOIs of a body to avoid, say, having small moons possessing x10 the SOI of their parent when they're x10 smaller? Currently, the SOIs just randomly change depending on where I have them in the system.

Sandbox since .10 (Not that there was much of an option back then...)

Ah, I wasn't aware of that.

True, but with AMD there is no PhysX, and KSP really benefits from that (assuming you're going to play KSP). I reccomend to not go with Corsairs' CX series. They are of poor quality, and from personal experience, fail rather quickly (mine died after 2 months. used XFX's ever since). If you look at some reviews you can see they fail also. Of course, everything can fail, but these do so much more commonly.

For 1k, you should get more than a last-gen i3 CPU and a 750 GPU. Like Elthy said, building your own PC offers more variety and generally better performance for cheaper prices. Personally, I would go with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3tpHnQ Total Price (After Rebates): $1023.47 This includes everything you need and cuts the fat off of what you listed above (Note: I'm extremely Intel biased). Allow me to list my reasons for choosing those parts: CPU: i5 4440: Cheap CPU. It's Haswell architecture (not the current architecture, but the most mainstream at the moment). AMD has better value CPU's, but as I said, I'm Intel biased and this chip should perform just fine for you. CPU Cooler: No overclocking, stock one is good enough. RAM/Memory: Corsair Vengeance are great cheap RAM sticks. 8 GB is enough for most games right now and the performance you will get from 1866 Mhz or higher is marginal. Motherboard: Only H97 because you don't plan on OC'ing. Cheap and reliable board (I like ASRock Boards). Allows for expansion of up to 32 GB of RAM later if you wish to do so. Storage: Double the size of the HDD you listed above. Cheap and it works, nothing special about HDDs. Having the OS on an SSD and storing files on the HDD can be tricky, but if you're willing to do it, that's fine. Due to the price of SSDs, I'd stay away from them for this build to stay within budget. GPU: Much better performance than the 750. Great bang for the buck. Fairly recent, it was only just replaced by the 970 which is also a great GPU. This should still give you decent performance. SLI is not worth it imo, due to the fact that the more cards you add, the price to performance ratio drops. Case: I choose the 300r because it is roomier than the 200r, but you can also go for that and save a few bucks. PSU: XFX has great quality PSU's for their price. 550W is all you should ever need. I chose the non-modular one as it can be easier for first-time builders. Optical Drive: In case you have some disks you want to play and want to install the OS on it. You can also install Windows 8.1 through a flash drive if you don't want to spend the few extra dollars on this, but I reccomend to go with it anyway. OS: Windows 8.1 is currently the best gaming OS atm. When Windows 10 comes out, which is an amazing step up (I have it the Tech Preview installed, great OS) from 8.1, you can install that for free. Monitor: Good, cheap 24" monitor. Speakers are weak, however. Other than that, it's good. Network Card: Intel NICs are great. Keyboard/Mouse: Same as the one you chose before. I reccomend waiting until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to purchase your parts. If you really must have it now, however, you should cut some of the extra stuff off and hit the sub 1,000$ mark

Nova stated what it was when he left the team. It was going to be a pseudo-storyline for KSP.

Sorry friend, but that is not official. Click on Kerbol. First line, and I quote: "Kerbol (officially called the Sun, and sometimes the Star) is the parent star of the planetary system in KSP, popularly referred to as the Kerbol System." Trivia on same page: "The name “Kerbol†was created by forum members and never appears in the game. Officially, the star is simply referred to as “the Sun," though the lead developer mentioned that its name could change once the need to differentiate it from other stars arises." Also, this thread is two months old.

0/10 I know oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Looks good.

I lost 1,200 some posts ^^

Because he was the first 'big' youtuber to make KSP videos.

The universe revolves around your ship, so it is infinite.

My third grade teacher gave me a C on a math test for making my 4's the wrong way. P.S. '4' is not the right way, apparently

Well, planets are inanimate objects, therefore have no conscious, and can not having any feelings towards hating me However, I can hate them. In this case, it would be Eeloo. I used to be able to get there every time, but now all I do is miss.

No, it isn't. It's Sun.

It's already explained what it is, as said at the top of the page.

Grand Tour, Manned Rover, Return to Kerbin, no Nuclear Engines, and no Debris. ... Might as well ask me to do a handstand with elephants on top of me while in a cave full of magma with laser beams and lava sharks coming at me.
