Since I started playing in v.15, the most significant addition to the game has been docking parts. Ambitious missions no longer required you to drag everything you might need on the trip up in one monster launch vehicle, increasing mission possibilities by an order of magnitude. Also, elaborate stations became possible because you no longer had to design them to also survive launch as one piece.

This affair about add-ons has been moved to Add-on Affairs.

Thread closed before even more people clog up the forum with posts pointing out that this post is a necropost.

Orbiting vehicles under a certain altitude (which is unfortunately obscure and different for each world) will indeed be deleted. There's no telling how long they'll last, and I have no idea why, but this is a very old KSP issue, and it definitely does happen. I never leave anything I want to keep orbiting under 10,000m around any world.

It bothers me when people demean the space shuttle as being inefficient and impractical. Here's its biggest pro: it was the first of its kind. The model T was not an ideal car, either, but we didn't give up on the idea of cars after it. It seems to me to be an economic certainty that we will eventually go to launch vehicles which don't have to be entirely discarded after each flight, and in retrospect, the shuttle will receive the respect it deserved.

Please, people. Stick to the point of the thread.

I think that it is not a question of science. Moved.

Please try to have a point for the threads you create, folks. Or if there is one, make it clear.

Greetings from non-British Columbia.

Squad never announces release dates. They come when they come.

As this appears to be neither a suggestion nor a development discussion, the thread has been moved to the General subforum.

I think that it looks spiffy.

You'll be one of the guys walking around the VAB with a clipboard?

Are you thinking about making a mod, asking for a mod, or suggesting this for inclusion in stock?

Without ground, what are you going to build upon? Where are you going to grow your crops? How difficult would it be to try to live in a place where anything you drop will never been seen again? What useful resources can be gathered solely from the atmosphere without access to the surface? We already have access to an environment which has no solid surface but is otherwise suitable for us: earth's ocean. No one lives there, for these and other reasons. I'm not saying it couldn't be done. But I am saying you'd need an awfully compelling reason to develop the technology and put forth the expense to live in a place like that, and it simply isn't going to be worth it for the vast majority of planets.

To get to the Games sub-forum (Moved.)

There is no specific news on the new aerodynamics. There are, however, several already existing threads on aspect of 1.0. Please post your thoughts and question in those rather than starting yet more threads about it.

Nice try, internet stalkers. Like I'm gonna tell you.

Questions about mod use go in the modding support sub-forum. And so, moved.

They're working on it. And we have about 6 threads asking about it now.

Congratulations. But... no pictures? (Also, moved to mission reports.)

Firstly, some threads have been merged to keep the 1.0 discussion from spilling all over the forum. Secondly, the argument about pros/cons of modding and worth of the modders has gotten rather heated, and is off-topic for this thread. Please leave that subject for another time, when tempers have cooled.

At this point, no one knows what 1.0 aero will be like, but everybody seems to have an opinion about it anyway. Please people, just wait and see? Closing this thread now before this argument takes over yet another part of the forum.

Couple of threads on the same subject merged. Carry on.

The place to ask would be the mod's own thread, here. I would advise posting there.
