  1. Me too.. but i dont remember the 70s. (Not a drug reference)
  2. If there is ever a KSP3.. I hope it more closely aligns with the features of the first & a similiar degree of cheese. They went WAY overboard on chinsy humour. The variety (KSP1) of dialogues contributed by the community .. make sense. I can believe these courageous frogs conquered the stars despite the clear deficient mental capacity in all but the most brilliant of kerbal-kind. The humour of the sequel had me constantly breaking immersion to thing.. really? Some of the missions and dialogues were great. But it was over the top. Everything about it tried to be over the top. Scale back and start Small. One launch location, planet, moon & sun. Then nail the love out of it... tune the physics & Gameplay loop till the wheels fall off and the community praises you for all the attention to feedback. Then add a celestial body or three & tune that excrements. Incorporate some feature expansion for supplemental gameplay & exploration Add new system and.. oh, and at least a couple of the people involved need to attempt an organic playthough.
  3. Gotta agree with Scarecrow and think that falls outside the kerbal brand.
  4. Hmm. If the odds are adjusted accordingly and we wanna wrangle a hard date on that never.. I would be inclined to take that bet. What are we at on.. less than 6 months? 10/1 .. [snip] I'd toss 100 down once it's gets somewhere close to 20/1. Not because I think it's a good bet or anything.. I just have some impulse control issue related to dopamine triggers.
  5. Someone had made a comment about AI potentially contributing to the connection issues. I am quite ignorant as to what occurs behind the scenes. Might as well be magic. CoPilot told me it was quite possibly the case. 505 being upstream, people may experience issues at different times. Lost in the cross talk? I told CoPilot, Bing.. all of em to explain like I'm five and use as many words as possible and for some reason the forum went down.... I always include please and thank you in my prompts.
  6. I thought he was the golden calf. "All hail Moobi"
  7. @Lisias Absolutely. Trying to put out a "perfect" product will bankrupt a company because time is the most valuable commodity by far. Where I live "It good enough" is colloquially considered to be anything but and is universally used in my field when something does not technically meet the governing acceptance criteria, but will function within the capacity afforded. Every day, I have to determine whether the products we make are acceptable products that will meet / exceed the need of our customers. I tend to lean on the latter by enforcing best practices. This is made relatively easy through the existence of various certificate and endorsements that lay out that Base Line expectation pretty clearly. I have begun to see a rising trend where the project managers use their engineering backgrounds to override acceptance established by the governing body & pencil whipping to pad their bonus margins. I essentially agree with you totally, but also think some points made to PD come into play here. I don't think these people are necessarily idiots but have been conditioned by the shift in paradigm. The emphasis has shifted to place all importance on profit. I know there has always been an emphasis on profit, but things are different in ways I'm not fully equipped to articulate. Capital of the Early 19th century was investments regarding industry. These business-peeps risked their own reputation and fortunes on whatever they invested in. Now we invest other peoples money and underwrite the excrements out of any venture to limit personal liability. This ensures that there is very little risk to those people at the top making bad decisions. Its not like their massive bonuses are going to be taken away should the company be fined millions for shady practices. The idiocy is in the greed and continuous emphasis to place more and more importance on profit. Western Business classes teach an ethical responsibility to maximize shareholder profit. Where is the commitment to integrity of the product? When the Profit gained from these shady yet normalized practices exceed the potential fines associated with the act, it is considered as a tax or fee. The "price of doing business". The mobile monetization video you linked disgusted me on so many levels and emphasized certain aspects ive seen creep into my own industry over the last 20 years.
  8. I had to play around with tracking station / commnet settings & probe control settings until I got a couple relays In orbit. Alternatively, you can use the cheat menu to place a single relay in high polar orbit. This will let you get some sounding rockets off the ground and eventually install a second relay and go from there. Go into commnet setting and temp. turn occlusion to 0 until you get the first set of relays up.
  9. What do you mean kerbals "reacting to gravity" The courage and stupidity stats contribute (I've been told) to some RNG combination for facial expressions in situ. If you mean react to G-force. Then yes. In the secondary setting menu. ESC -> Options Button (Top of ESC GUI) -> There are tabs on the left that each pertain to either an installed mod or one of the core config pages for the core game. I do not remember if it's under Basic or Advanced but you can even adjust their G-tolerance with a slider.
  10. I feel this as infected much of the world. I work in a very small corner of an engineering field. Once upon a time, the engineers were... well engineers. I cannot tell you how much I have learned from engineers with a PhD. I cannot tell you when it happened.. like some slimy insidious mild that infects EVERYTHING before you realize it is too late. Now all the Engineers have MBA & the quality standard has become "it's not just good, it's good enough" I grow ever more frustrated as the focus continues to shift from quality to quantity. I've only became aware of my own "footprint" in the last decade or so. I hate that I was not more conscientious during my formative years.
  11. I do not have the certainty of the Eternal optimist. Life sucks. That fact has predispositioned me to doubt and cynism. I feel relieved that it's over. The graphic overhaul of KSP2 initially had me quite excited.. the subsequent for science press releases claimed it was the answer to all I ever wanted. After completing the majority of missions.. I was lost. It's 110-115°F and I work through the moee mild temperatures. My evening are spent reading or gaming. KSP2 had me rudderleds for a bit in terms of gaming tastes. It had failed to deliver on the gameplay loop I most enjoyed.. & many of the immersion features which made the KSP1 experience so satisfying.. were not merely absent, but purposefully Omitted. I do not know all the intrinsic minutiea of KSP1 developement, or be able to give detailed accounts of what's going on behind the hood. Do not work in Aerospace & hate flight simulators... but Kerbals are my bag. My bipolar has dipped into a depressive episode I cannot loveing shake. Until the day after WARN. For some reason I came home after work with a new mind for a mod build. Spent days curating the list.. fired it up and have been playing KSP1 again. That.. is why I am happy KSP2 is dead. My weakness has been overlooked. My first love has forgiven my fleeting moments of infidelity and accepted me back with open arms. KSP1 .. I missed you.
  12. Yea the show wasn't too bad either. I'm a sucker for the king of B. Bubbhotep might be one of my favorites of the campy horror variety. Well, there are too many to name a favorite. Part of what I love so much, is how when they poke fun and turn typical cliches / tropes on end.
  13. I am sick of the cliche that simple farmboy turns out to be the prophesied one that kills the penultimate evil big bad guy. I just want someone to mix it up.. instead of farmboy or shepherd why not an nanny or governess... OR Grocery Store Stock Boy!! perhaps a little mix up toward the end.. simple farmboy grows up and ends up slaying the ultimate representation of good.. or the only way to save the universe is to destroy it. Ready for a good book where they make the hero some middle age fry cook that ends up being the prophesied one that will and has to stop the king lord of all that is good from vanquishing evil and destroying the balance
  14. I keep looking for the problem and was wondering if you could point me to it, so that i may "take it to its own thread". I keep trying to find a specific question or request for help. So far all i see is a "dang, too bad.. so sad"
  15. That is indeed a good point.. perhaps there is middle ground between the hypothetical that never was and : "Everything is Awesome" "We [developers] play everyday" "Check this out we are having so much fun playing multiplayer [modded ksp1] "We are funded to the very end" "Community Feedback is important" "Multiplayer remains on Road Map 2 years after people responsible for developement were fired!" "Spaghetti rockers are in vogue and so very kerbal" "You're not an artist, the font is fine. Trust me" There needs to be a more organic connection between the way a game is marketed & whay is actually going on in development.. from an EA perspective. I am grateful to all the developers. but think the marketing side was outright BS
  16. I thought I had detected some warning signs that reminded me of my own troubled history. The state has decriminalized most things.
  17. So far I have only really messed with Restock & the vanilla esque parts packs (and some ISRU) Currently working on a build that centered around scansat. I was intimidated by the profusion of WBI mods but think I could make choices now instead of clicking everything. I would love that compatibility patch. I am trying to collect all the MM patches I can for modded play & creating a database for myself. Plus I have way to may instances of kerbal and once is named WBI and waiting for a reason.
  18. I was experiencing shutter and stutter i cpuld not isolate from log reviews. Searching the forums revealed this ... Then un-installed All Y'All. After getting the various errors on my Current Build under control, I came here to see if a patch existed only to discover others had know & experienced it as well. I probably should have articulated a little more clearly. Removing above Mentioned mod Fixed my problem. I discovered the issue on another thread and have since overwritten associated logs. If needed, I will reproduce the issue on one of the clean installs I keep handy. Should this be the case, let me know which logs you want and I will reproduce the situation and upload the into the inter webz.
  19. With my approach to career, it will probably be a year or so before i circle back to this. Glad they we able to help pin it down.
  20. This was a Vanilla install with only those mods listed as hard dependencies installed. I had already moved to a different interstellar experience when you had requested the entire planet log and was wanting to provide it. I added the HeightMap mod to the Clean Install and uploaded all KSP logs. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QnXh5su61CqfUY2f3oTmofE4LucE6l-b?usp=drive_link (Same Kopernicus Advisory against loading a save)
  21. Dang. Was hoping to get this on my newest build. Have Civilian Population and was hoping to have some little bunny rabbit habitats. I know less than jack excrements about how to get this going but am going to try asking around.
  22. I have recently experienced an extreme amount of lag when separating stages. I had no clue what was causing the problem, but stumbled across this. After removing All Y'All i no longer experience the lag. The main KSP.Log did not readily reveal this to me, so i don't know if there are other logs needed. Let me know which logs to upload and i will put them in the webz.
  23. There should be a comprehensive thread for module manager patch collections & requests. Seeing as many many mods use module manager... and sometime a single mod not is the result of the issue.. but a combination of. Having such a place would ensure I don't accidently enter into someone else thread request assistance for something. I mean I know essentially..99% of QOL additions are MM "patches".. but I do not know the trade language for those patches that act as compatibility fixes. I've been pouring over spacedock and searching around when the problem arises.. some of it is trying to get outdated mods working & not wanting to necro. This being a thread for modul manager itself.. I feel it's use is prolific enough to justify a MM patch thread... but who knows I say stupid shot all the time. Maybe a Comprehensive List of Kerbal Patches.. CLOPK
  24. That's what irritates the excrements out me. Still one or two people want to defend the store page as a legit business Advertising.. Intercept Games is gone the way of the Dodo & the Publisher too & we will argue semantics one whether the language of the page is accurate? Yes.. anything is possible even if infinitely improbable..someone else may take up development.. it will NOT be intercept games. Therefore the EA page is communicating lies. All in the hope it generates a few more unit sales before they go out. A "lie" is something that contradicts verifiable information. What we have is lies. When used to assist in the sale of a good or service, said lie become a case for fraudulent behavior.
