KSP2 Release Notes

Science is pretty much stupid. Just get rid of it.
kdaviper replied to JoeSchmuckatelli's topic in KSP2 Discussion
And here you exclude a subset of players who enjoyed science and yet... Bound their instruments to an action group to maximize the efficiency of collecting science. Actually I don't believe there has been shown any correlation between disliking science and utilizing the action groups to do the collection. Personally when I think of rewarding gameplay, I envision some kind of challenge and the triumph of overcoming it. I never found finding my experiments very challenging in ksp1 even though I only started binding them to action groups in the last hundred or so hours of gameplay. The reports in ksp1 were cheeky, but did they really provide any useful information? Besides the orbital scanner and IR telescope I would say not. Ksp2 will be able to utilize science collection in future updates to possibly provide all kinds of useful information related to colony construction and resource acquisition. At least this is how I imagine science will tie into other facets of the game. Perhaps then the solution to your current woes will be to include a toggle for the "gather science" button. That, and replacing the obvious placeholder text with something actually useful or at the least something entertaining. -
Atmospheric Sniffer Changes
kdaviper replied to Scarecrow71's topic in KSP2 Suggestions and Development Discussion
Another option is to have a vehicle use parachutes. But I agree maybe it would be best to have them biome specific but not situation specific. -
I've done 7-minute burns with no problem! Now the timer might not always work but as long as I watch the trajectory in the last few seconds I'm right on.
-
I have not experienced a significant differential between the expected burn and my resultant burn when starting at the countdown. In what scenarios are you experiencing this discrepancy?

So all that has happened is they have removed the task of adding all your science bits to an action group and added an indicator light. Also if that doesn't suit your play style you have the option of manually activating the experiments one by one. Also out of curiosity how far in the tech tree are you? I feel like I had to leave a lot of parts unlocked until I had what I needed in KSP 2. In 1 all you have to do is send a lab to minimus and maybe the mun or duna and farm the biomes there to get the whole tree unlocked. In ksp2, certain experiments take time. The orbital lab especially takes 6 minutes to gather its data. And it drains EC the entire time it's running, regardless if it's collecting from the selected biome. There are also some considerations to the masses of the experiments and placement on your craft, as they aren't as easily counterbalanced as they were in ksp1. I also suspect that science will be useful once colonies and resource collection arrive as you will need to locate resources in order to plan your colony locations. -

So basically you just want more precision? -
Bug Status [2/23]
kdaviper replied to Intercept Games's topic in KSP2 Suggestions and Development Discussion
This post along with the anniversary post should be pinned! Great work IG, I look forward to being able to rely on fairings to keep my stuff from melting again! Oh and give me some more stuff to unlock;{P -
Release KSP2 Release Notes - Update v0.2.1.0
kdaviper replied to Intercept Games's topic in KSP2 Dev Updates
You can rename them in the tracking station as of now -
Finished the tech tree today!
-
I had the same bug happen to me today with a lower TWR hydrogen engine-powered craft so I think this must be some kind of rounding error. Strange how accel under timewarp doesn't work in the cases it would be most useful

Mars Rover is driving like on ice?
kdaviper replied to Ph03nX's topic in KSP2 Suggestions and Development Discussion
Turn it off auto and mess with the settings there. Suspension tweaks may help as well. -
I landed by the lake and carefully drove my plane to it. It was still hard and took hella quick saves.

You don't have to do it all in one go. Do your big adjustments early on, then the finer adjustments later on your journey

What is your friction control set to? -
I must be some kind of super human then because I've done plenty interplanetary missions without it. Not saying a manual editor wouldn't be helpful though.

This is a fairly well known bug. The game is not updating the state from "landed" in some scenarios
-
I noticed the game would not let me adjust throttle at 1x timewarp after trying to burn under timewarp with these engines.

Performance is still not good with ships that have many parts
kdaviper replied to Jason_25's topic in KSP2 Discussion
You get to look at the ground? Most of my time is in map view lol. Reentry is usually the only time I get to actually look at Kerbin( up close at least) -
And if you want to put something in a cargo bay without a decoupler there is a way ... But it is not the easy way Just wait until they discover the shift button in the vab
-
I disagree. You should be able to. It is the kerbal way
-
You don't even need the separator. Also if you want there to not be a gap when attaching larger parts, you're going to need to use the larger docking ports
