Yeah it'd be really nice if an updated version could come out, I build most of my rockets using KW Rocketry so SRBs are a big part of it so it's annoying when their dV/TWR doesn't get calculated

I've noticed that when you go to 8x symmetry it skips it and goes straight to 9x, you have to go back one to get 8x symmetry

It's frustrating to land on the first few times - I usually just put sepatrons on my lander facing upwards to plant it onto the surface

Something that makes planet modding more accessible would be really good for KSP. As far as I know some very basic stuff is possible as it is now, but it's not much.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is a troll or a jerk" And KSP is hardly complex, master basic orbital mechanics and you can do everything. And if you can't do that then you can always just get mechjeb to do everything for you with crafts you download from the forums. This game is just as accessible as something like Call of Duty, it's just not a subject as much people are interested in.

How is that thread relevant to threads here getting locked? And why are you always so eager to bring up the fact that some of us are from 4chan? How does that have any relevance at all to the content of our posts? You seem really obsessed with 4chan.

Really disappointed by lack of news on resources.

You can use RCS, but yeah, other than that it's incredibly hard to maneuever big unmanned craft. SAS should provide torque, but it doesn't for some reason.

Also wouldn't kerbals be able to handle higher G forces than humans because of their shorter build?

Yeah, I used the fraps FPS counter Ran a mission to orbit on a clean save with the exact same rocket and exact same settings (copy and pasted settings.cfg) 0.19 averages 40-60 fps, 0.20 averages 15-30fps

I have no mods, use Windows 7 and have all of my drivers up to date and 0.20 performs a lot worse for me for some reason

I think that development is on topic considering how development and community are closely related in this game. There's nothing wrong with touching on the subject.

People like N3X15 and Maxmaps -snip-

-snip- And yes, I (along with others) have asked the mods what their reasoning on allowing furry discussion on the forums is - We have never really got a real answer.

He said that the space station is stationary, that it doesn't move and that they don't turn it. That statement is false There is nothing to be interpreted here.

There is no need to so heavily defend the mods, MD5000 stated somthing that was false and he was corrected. I don't see why you have a problem with that.

Every time a popular youtuber makes a video everyone starts complaining about how all of the noobs are going to come. Look what happened when that nerdcubed guy made a video, there was a thread treating it like the end of the world. The KSP community definitely has its good points but I wouldn't call it the best community I've ever seen.

They regularly turn the station and use engines to change its orbit.

Look at the comments in the devblogs and some of the threads in the support section. Every time someone has a bit of criticism everyone swarms on that guy and just calls him an entitled whiner and various other things bordering on flat out insults, that's exactly what happened with the minecraft community and is the reason why the game became crap - The devs could literally get away with anything regarding Minecraft and they'd still have hordes of fanboys defending the decision. Also a big portion of this community IS from the minecraft community, which is why the behaviour is the same. Minecraft players tend to flock to other indie games and ruin the community. Exceptions like Dwarf Fortress are like that because the game isn't accessible to the minecraft audience, it's very hard to get into.

"Providing no value to the community" is entirely subjective though. Locking threads should be restricted to rule violations and requests from the thread OP imo. What provides no value to the community for you is not the same as what other people might consider providing no value to the community.

If you were there right at the beginning you'd have seen what OP meant, it was pretty much going to be a 3D dwarf fortress.

Unfortunately this thread is unlikely to go very far as you are either going to get drowned out by people calling you a whining kid/whatever or the thread will get locked by a moderator who has decided that it's just "insults". (Feel free to prove me wrong though) I definitely agree that there are some big problems with the community - The word "entitled" in particular seems to be thrown about to the point where the word has no meaning. You want to give a suggestion? You're an entitled kid. You want to criticise part of the game? You're an entitled kid, and so on. The idea that the forums is a hugbox where nothing except constant praise to the devs has been created by the minecraft community and even some of the staff (The exceptions I can think of off the top of my head being people like Ted, Maxmaps, Harv, etc). I think a big part is that these people don't realise that they are actually doing more harm than good to the game by drowning out any criticism and suggestions that aren't "lol add this its so kerbal XDD". I do love this game and I don't think I wasted any money at all, but the big part of the community has the potential to turn the game down the road of Minecraft. Although we have been told that Harv has a very solid vision of how the game is going to turn out, so we can hope that Harv isn't like Notch and won't abandon the game in favour of constantly getting his ass kissed as it seems that he really does love his creation.

It uses less RAM, but overall performance is a lot worse.

I agree, I visited Duna earlier and these new textures are great. Squad really did a great job on the planets in this version! Weird, they look just like the OP for me. Are you sure you're on the highest settings?

Landing legs that have some suspension instead of being really stiff.
