Agreed. It only makes sense to have mods in the sandbox IMO.. It wouldnt be Squad's game if people had the choice to just 'mod' their way past problems or achievements, Squad have the right, and it's in their interest to restrict their audience into 'their design' or stock parts. Otherwise they would have no identity other than it being a platform to abuse. I'm a Kerbal purist.. it's meant to be difficult, and thats what pulled so many people in. Casual Gamers followed because of the stir it made by word of mouth and through great reviews, and mods made it accessible to do fun things easily. But that doesnt have lasting appeal. There's no satisfaction in getting to space easily.
