  1. Hello, fellow Kerbolnauts, I am here to share my experience with KSP. (Based on a video of TB that I got me thinking)

    I jumped into the game on 0.15 if I remember correctly, and on my first maybe 6 months of playing and updating, I used to get very exited about every update, and I played it every day, at least 2 hours, and on weekends a lot more…

    But now, after all this time, (more than 1 year) I play KSP once every month … I still enjoy it, and I still believe this is a great game… But I just cant play it like I used to, because I played it a lot back on the days… I thought career mode will have a positive effect on me, and will make me want to play more.. but It did not …

    Another thing that has kept me away from KSP, is its performance… at 0.15 I thought… well this is Alpha, they will fix this stupid-game-braking lag… but after a year I realized .. Maybe they CANT fix this lag. And I won’t detail why is it that they can’t fix the lag. But its around and a known fact that Unity sucks for KSP.

    Don’t get me wrong, they have improved performance a lot since 0.15, but I will never be able to build my crazy 5k part mother ship and play with it..

    So now, I keep an eye on updates, and considered myself a fan of KSP, its just that now Im down to earth, and instead of hoping for It to be the game that I want it to be… I just watch as the developers take it on its path.

    Maybe 3 years from we will have KSP 1.0 with multilayer… and maybe they Even change the engine, and make it possible to build crazy big crafts, or on the other hand, having a part cap, so you could always have a constant FPS… (having that type of FPS drops on a “finished game†will be just BAD) .. even then .. will I come back to play a 5 year old game? Probably not..

    So basically, getting early access to a game its not always a good thing… We can support the devs, we can suggest things and have the hope that they may be implemented… but if you ask me … I would rather have a fully develop and functional KSP to play like a mad man until I totally exhaust my KSP enjoyment , instead of exhausting it with so many frustrations because of the alpha state on the way.

    Now the game is on STEAM early access, more people play it… and will exhaust it before its 1.0, so when 1.0 with multiplayer comes, a big chunk of the community will already be gone.

    I don’t regret helping KSP on its early days, If we had not support them, they will not be here , and maybe there would not be KSP at all… but I do feel a bit of sorrow knowing that the game keeps getting better.. but I just don’t enjoy it anymore.

  3. wow, fast responses, TY, Well I had to download 3 times on the store because of corrupted file due to incomplete download, and accessing the website was a good 15 minutes of refreshing and getting errors.

    So I think for the next update I will use Steam... If I could only cheat it to show my many many hours on the game :P

  4. Hello,

    So with the new .22 update, we crash the KSP store again and its been a pain to download, as every other update so IM not surprised.

    For you using steam? How does the update went? Is it fast? Is it smooth? Does it crashes?

    I hate steam, because I am a poor man with no games but free to play games... So I have not updated KSP to steam, but maybe I will if updates are less a pain.

  5. They announced a... RELEASE DATE? Guys, something is clearly wrong here. This does not happen, this CANNOT happen.

    I feel something is wrong swell.... On all this time .. Since 0.14 or 0.15 I can not remember a single time they announced a update like this...

    I have 2 theory..

    1.- they want to test the new updater / Server to see if we manage to make it crash again.

    2.- they are trolling.

    I think they are trolling..

  6. I think the .22 update will...Make this game more accessible to a larger number of players.

    The reason why I think this is because I have a friend, and I have tried to introduce him to KSP since 0.14, but he is the kind of player who likes to read all the text on all the games... So when I asked him to build a rocket.. He spent like 40 minutes reading the tags over and over, and at the end he said... This is just too much information for me. I don't want to play this game anymore.

    Basically he was overwhelmed by the number of parts and possibilities, and at 0.14 there was not even as much parts as now... So on future updates he would just say, well it may be getting better, but it just looks more complicated to me.

    Also, he does not enjoy sandbox games as much, he is more the type of player that wants to unlock everything on games and complete them at 100% , but when it comes to sandbox, he just don't feel a motivation to do anything.

    Now with the first steps of Career mode, this 2 problems are solved for him (or at least I think so) he will start with a reduced amount of parts, and unlock what ever he wants next, Also he might want to go do a lot of science just to unlock everything... And when he does. He will probably not be overwhelmed anymore since he had the chance to read and understand just a couple of parts at a time.

    Well.. Next week I will visit him and see how it goes.

  7. Go watch Lost Scarf's play of it. That dude makes it hilarious. I've heard nothing but good things about it, although I have not yet played it myself. It does seem to have very limited replayability, tho.

    well, that is the funny part, I realy thing the gameplay is not that good, and I hate letters so i have a horrible time with it :D

    But its the story line the one that makes me play it again
