[i just want to say, english is not my primary language, it's not even my seconary language] I personally thing, KSP isn't going in the right direction, I was launching kerbals since the very first versions, I played it like carrer mode (possibly) before it was even planned. What is the point of playing carrer/science mode, when you mastered launching small/cheap crafts to every celestial body in KSP. Currently im playing KSP in hardcore, roleplaying way, to launch very small probe to gas giant (farther than Jool, I have mods), I need radio connection, and lots of solar panels, and when Im there, I need to take surface sample, thermometric values, and take them back (using docking, etc.). I don't like the direction, which KSP developers are going, they don't make new end game goals, but still enchance early game...
