If you are having a hard time searching within Reddit then simply Google "Reddit "whatever your question is". Why create a new forum that cost money and time when Google is right there and free? As for the loss of the forum and player count.... KSP2 pretty much killed that already. There is nothing this forum or any other new forum can offer that isn't already out there.

Posting this from another reply I made to a different post: I never understood the want or need for a forum backup. The only outcry from a few folks about the forum going away was the loss of mod content. Why? Every bit of that content is hosted or duplicated elsewhere like Github or a few other mod sites. Reddit has subs dedicated to KSP modding among other things. If modders want an outlet for their work there are already options available to them. It doesn't need to be this or some other forum-like site. Reddit is free, less hassle making a sub as apposed to a new website. I looked at the active user count here and on the KSP main Reddit sub. The counts were pretty much equal. It certainly isn't a stretch to say that if this forum callaped tomorrow, folks would simply utilize KSP resources elsewhere. I see no need for a new forum.

Noticed at 1:27 pm EST I was getting 502/503 errors as usual. After 10 minutes of retrying I gave up. At 1:52 the page was loading again.

The vast majority of those pipes and equipment were for sensors. After years of gathering data they understand the design and performance characteristics and the vast majority of that sensing equipment isn't necessary and due to the weight loss your rocket can now carry more payload.

I seem to recall a post....I believe on YouTube very soon after T2 illuded to IG shutting down. He said he already had orbital mechanics worked out and it was just math...and very easy. I asked him to show a demo of these mechanics...nothing. I've read other statements and replies from him on reddit that just oozed arrogance to a degree and a touch of used car salesmen much like Nick. I simply don't trust the guy. The fact that he swooped in on reddit to try and poach IG devs just hours after the layoffs were announced is just another sign of his character.

I absolutely agree. I'm just saying it can be tough to dodge a lawsuit no matter how stupid the suit is. T2 isn't exactly the Mother Teresa of game companies.

They own everything that is KSP. If someone were to put out a similar type game with characters that even remotely resemble kerbals T2 would sue their pants off. Doesn't matter if T2 was wrong, a small developer would buckle under the legal costs to defend themselves. It would be a stupid move to even try such a project.

I see no reason to be concerned. He knows full well what it will take resource and talent wise.

I don't doubt HarvesteR's abilities to pull off another space sim, but KSP has those little green gimmicks. Those little guys are a big reason KSP was a success. If he plans on trying to work those types of characters into a new game he may have a tough time walking that IP infringing tightrope with Take2.

Look at the last post dates and times in the KSP2 modding subs. Now look at the dates and times in the KSP1 subs. Now look at the post dates of NEW mod releases for KSP2. Months ago. Not even Spacedock has anything new when it come to KSP2. Even Blackrack has gone back to 1. Right now it's a waste of space and mod time to keep those subs around. Time to roll up the red carpet, put it in storage, and if the KSP2 modders want to continue then they can petition the mods here. Edit: Considering all the 502/503 Gateway errors I see trying to navigate this forum...it's pretty safe to say that not even the forum itself is immune from deletion.

It's humming along nicely. If you look at the KSP official Reddit community it's very much alive and well.

Then take your toys and go home.

Yep i quoted the wrong person. Thanks for pointing it out.

Edit: Quoted the wrong person here. SORRY! Bej is reinforcing by argument
