I mean out of the other roadmap items: Multiplayer was always gonna be last because having to QA both singleplayer and multiplayer with each major update would be a huge increased weight on dev time/resources. Interstellar ready engines have been stated to require resource gathering if you want to build them in career mode Resource gathering has been stated to no longer be ISRU and require Colonies and trade routes So... unless anything new has come up, the OG roadmap was already arranged in the order of "the order things need to be developed in" anyway. Probably not a bad idea to assume it'll still be more or less in that order. Although given the talk of the imminent upgrade to using HDRP, I could see that getting a major release update number.

so like 2km now?

IRL having your centre of mass far above your wheelbase is not great for stability. Might be worth looking into what IRL airplanes do to reduce this. Probably something along the lines of going into advanced suspension on the wheels and stiffening the hydralics to stop any oscillationfrom growing.

It doesn't seem to show up for me, is there something I'm missing?

Sure. In retrospect it's kind of more a magenta https://youtu.be/Ti7N9DLZKqY

this seems to happen for engine shrouds too.

Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 10 | CPU: i7-10870H | GPU: RTX 3070 | RAM: 16GB This might be an expression of the general "shroud appears on re-loaded vessel" bug. If this is consistent it could be a good way to reproduce that. Included Attachments: .ipsImage { width: 900px !important; }

To me it feels like the baseline value isn't 0 but is about -10.

Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 10 | CPU: i7-10870H | GPU: RTX 3070 | RAM: 16GB The simulator cyan shader seems to be applied over the reentry/heat effects in a way that makes them look rather janky.

Is this a just above 70 issue or does it stretch quite a distance into space?

"Good news everybody!"

if you put something on the pad you should be able to see the readout on the screen. I used to do something similar to work out Delta V back in the day in KSP1 before they added mass readouts to the VAB.

One think I've noticed in the 0.2 settings is an option to toggle mutli-joints. is there any clarification on what these are anywhere?

If you avoid using F2 can you avoid the bug? I use it a lot for screenshots so I'm wondering if that's why I but heads with this bug so often.

Yeah if I was using my laptop's screen rather than my monitor I would not be able to see any of that.

Is the date for the update still today?

I mean i'd definitely say the approachability, both in terms of features but also yes in terms of tone too. It's like the "losing is fun" mythos of dwarf fortress where when you start out it's ok that everything is going very wrong because that's part of the charm of the game, and then you get to a point where you can though brute force achieve anything, and with the end game of once you get really good, you're able to play out things seriously and impressively and in the way you want. The big difference being that the UX kinda made doing a lot of high concept things easy to eyeball rather than being made out of two jumbled up typewriters and requiring a wiki to turn the game on. KSP2's UI has a bit of a way to go to become as dumbass friendly as KSP1, and honestly KSP1 has gotten pretty cluttered the last few updates. I feel like both games have also drifted towards the assumption that the playerbase understand the underlying stuff what the game is doing a lot more as a result of trying to provide better tools for veteran players, and that might be true or it might not be, but it's still pretty good.

you have no idea how happy it makes me to see a boat not HL2 Physics Glitching itself into the bottom of the ocean.

Even disregarding cutting down transfer time, more efficient engines will still speed up shipping by allowing for a more favourable payload to fuel ratio, which reduces the amount of flights you'd need to transfer the same amount of resources, and will therefore lag the simulation less. I think a progression system that allows the scale of the game to expand while also keeping lag in check is a good progression system.

Also one thing I am curious about from any polyglots here is what kind of font does the game use for non latin alphabets? I don't currently have it installed to make way for the 0.2 zip file to be downloaded and unzipped (I don't have a lot of spare hard drive space), but I can see the game supports Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese so are they also using pixel fonts for the various alphabets those languages use?

It's always kinda bugged me that the wing edit box always seems to show up exactly under the part manager and always behind it so if part manager is open I can never see it when it first pops up.

I will say in the map view the pixelated vessel icons kinda remind me of back when I made one of my earliest unity games and it was in a "pixel art" style but it was before they added the pixel perfect camera so the whole world was made out of pixel art but because it was moving around and rotating all smooth and some stuff was scaled wrong, it looked jarringly bad, and anyway yeah "giant pixel art capsule awkwardly scaled on the screen" is reminding me of that and how irritated I was with not being able to get that looking good. On the other hand it does remind me of old flash animations and webcomics so that's kind of nostalgically good, but still I think in this context it do kinda just look bad.

Someone is going to try and get there using one RAPIER and 1000 years of gravity assists and I look forward to celebrating it.
