I had the same happen as well: The head kept spinning around like crazy like he was possessed.

I dont think I have had a single real crash in the last couple of versions.

Just put a aspargus rocket system underneath and try to position it so that it is more or less balanced. I have sent up stuff that is much less symmetrical than this.

What happened today when trying to get a bus to duna: At least he survived.

Do you happen to use mods like for example lazorcam?? There is a bug with latest version and that mod that causes the launch clamps to just blow up. I have also had a weird experience with launch clamps suddenly dropping from the sky and crashing into my ship at 10k~ altitude.

I only consider mods like hyperedit or unrealistic mods as cheating.

What dissapoints me is the lack of cruise control and how easily they break. The modular wheels were just more useable for me since with a stable rover design i could just leave it on cruise control for hours.

I sadly no longer have my oldest screenshots, but I will share one of my first spacestation attempt: Not the prettiest thing in the world

What matters most is your cpu and even more important amount of ram. As long as you got a half decent cpu and minimum 4gig of ram it should run pretty fine. When it comes to GPU pretty much any GPUs will do fine as long as they got dedicated ram instead of shared.

Thanks for everything. Hope we will still see you around even if you arent working for squad.

I still dont get why people are claiming it will not be completed though.. Once it reaches 1.0 it will be completed regardless if they want to add more in the form of an expansion pack later. This is how it is with other games as well.. No one said that for example Saints row 3 was not not completed just because they added a expansion pack/dlc with more features/gameplay after release. I dont see how a possible expansion pack would change anything.

I really hoped those rumours werent true..

But the game will be completed just like they always said. A possible expansion pack which has not even been announced will come after the game has reached finished stage. It was all nothing but a missunderstanding. I dont see how anyone expected to get a possible expansion pack that might not even happen for free. It was just devs thinking loudly about some possibilites after KSP has reached finished state which is still a long way off so there will still be loads of free updates before this game reaches 1.0~

Just saw that thread now myself. Was really sad to see how fast it got derailed into insults. I really dont see how community managers can be blamed for anything of this when they clearly for some unexplainable reason cannot talk about it.

You seem to forget that community managers are not developers. And some of us actually found out about KSP from watching such streams. You wont have a new version faster just because the community managers stopped streaming. One thing that made squad so different from most other companies was how they communicated with the community. Not only did they stream, but they also watched other peoples streams and even joined in on random streams through skype chat. They even recently talked about maybe expanding by making a twitch tv KSP channel in cooperation with other streamers, so that we had a stream that was pretty much airing every day of the week. Then suddenly just a couple of weeks later they stop streaming all together with no explanation whatsoever and never shows up anymore in other streams either. And this was never about updates.. Most of the streams they hosted had absolutely nothing to do with future versions and was instead just them hanging out interacting with community while playing the game. I have even seen bugs being discovered and fixed from squad watching or hosting streams, so if there is an effect from this then it is opposite of what you think. And youtube videos can never ever be compared to streams, since they are nearly always very edited. I have gotten new ideas and inspiration just from watching people build stuff in a different way.

I dont think the community had anything to do with that. It is probably some of those who bought it on steam that misunderstood. Anyone active in community should have known that any possible dlcs would not be free as they have made it clear many times that we would get free updates until the game had reached finished state. The wording on the site and steam store could have been a bit more clear though, but it still amazes me how people would think that a DLC would be released for free.

Thanks for the reply.. But what about your own streams?? You used to stream nearly weekly on your own channel which was not about showing off new features. It was just you playing the game while interacting with the viewers. It has now been months since the last stream. I can understand that the community managers might be busy with forums and other parts of community but I just wish there was some information as to why and if there will ever be streams besides showing off new features.

You can also use IZ3d for that purpose. I tested it with ksp 18.x and it worked just fine.

I really wonder what is going on myself.. I recall at least one of the community managers being active streaming also on their own channel like capt_skunky but lately there has been no sign of any of the community managers on twitch. People like damion and skunky also often could pop up in other streams but that also seemed to stop when they stopped streaming. I really hope this is not a side effect from KSP now being on steam. That squad take part of community is one of the things I love about this company and it would be really sad if that were to end. I hope they at least give us some information on what is going on.
