Scott uses a lot of mods. Currently, the only stock part in KSP that allows for "Living Quarters" is the Hitchhiker part. Edit: Ninja'd!

That makes...so much sense. I don't know why I never even thought of that.

I was under the impression that stars in space are more vibrant because we don't have silly things like the atmosphere mudding up our sight of them?

Well I wouldn't go that far as that starts to imply that Squad has a vendetta against lower-spec machines. KSP, by nature, requires a bit more resources than most laptops can offer right out the box. Plain and simple. Laptops can play games, but that doesn't make them gaming machines. Know what I mean, Vern?

"Farewell, Aquarius, and we thank you." Spoken after the LEM was separated from the Command Pod just before re-entry.

I've been playing KSP since .16 (I think. It's been a long time, that's for sure) and I've only very recently started thinking about visiting other planetary bodies. So Far I have a satellite around Eve and that's it. I hear landing on that particular rock can be...interesting.

While I agree with you that graphics are starting (or have been for a loooong time) to become a bit of a problem (focus more on story please), the fact that you're trying to play KSP on a laptop is....you know...kind of a bad idea. And it's not like you choosing to have a laptop over a desktop is a bad decision on your part or anything, it's just that KSP is a game that, by design, require more resources than a laptop can generally provide. Laptops, even "gaming" ones, aren't really built for gaming. It's just the inherent nature of the machine.

My money's on clipping issue as well. Technically a bug, but more of an engineering oversight really.

Our KSC scientists can confirm that the surface of our dear planet is composed of 92.7% "ground" with a remaining 7.3% composed of "stuff and other bits." The same scientists unanimously agree that Kerbin's atmosphere is comprised of 100% "air."

Make it work with both the mission control and astronaught complex buildings, and you'd have something amazing.

lol wut is teh meincrafts? My point was that people can't be playing the same game all the time. Sometimes you take a break and come back to it. Sometimes that break can last days and sometimes it can last years (last time I played Lost Odyssey was in 2008 for example).

Yeah, Kerbin's atmo is very thick until about around 10km. The reason real-life launches execute their gravity turns earlier is mostly because Earth's atmo allows for it and party because dropping boosters on mission control is generally frowned upon.

I'd say a fairly large number actually. I'm a "stock" kind of a guy, myself, but even I have Kethane and that one mod that ads clouds to kerbin. It's...just so very pretty. Even so, I have no problem going completely vanilla if the need were to arise.

1. Doesn't count non-steam users 2. Games fluctuate all the time. Right now I'm bouncing back and forth between Lost Odyssey, Minecraft & KSP. 3. Around the middle to later part of February is when the work force REALLY starts kicking in again from the Thanksgiving/Xmas/New Year season of terror. (That's why January is sooooo sloooow) Bottom line: not worried
