I would love to be able to open a window focus on a ion probe and set it thrusting(These things like 20 min. plus thrusting). And then go do other things . Like fly a plane. I don't know how the resource system will work but if it works like kethane. You need to have a miner focused to mine kethane. Allthough there are probably other solutions to this. As it is now I can ever only do one thing at a time. It is great that you can have multiple missions in flight at the same time. While they are coasting through space they don't need attention. But a lot of things require a craft to be focused. Parachutes will not open if left unattended. Aeroplanes will fall out of the sky. And that aerobraking maneuver just missed because I wasn't paying attention. All this could be solved with a multiple window option allowing the user to have several active craft at the same time. Perhaps even with their own separate physics thread to the cpu. It seems to me that this would be quite simple to implement as I can allready run two games at the same time. When done playing sync the game save files with a program like "apples" which compares files and allow you to syncronise lines altered and new lines separately in an easy way. Allthough I only experimented with this it seems to work almost. Ive broken it a few times. But simple tests worked. Allthough it is probably hard to implement. Anyways would love to hear your thoughts on it. For me this would make this game so much greater . And really give me the feeling of a mission control like environment. Also sry if it was allready suggested. Looked but didn't find.

Goal: How little is needed to do light speed without glitch or edits. Only ion engine modified to K-drive. Well doing this without a K-drive is impossible. Engine power 7800 kN (anything above and it can't stay attached to the craft) Efficiency 1 Xeon gas canister for light speed. Craft capable of sustaining 174.75 G acc (3 Hardy kerbals inside smiling) Time to LS 83 Hours ... first attempt got bored of waiting SO "the LS3" 8 K-drives instead of one Craft capable of sustaining 1022.64 G acc (3 Hardy kerbals inside smiling) Time to LS 4.8 hours (doable ) lets wait O and by the way awesome that you can run multiple KSP's in paralel on the same computer. 0.3 % speed of light by the time of kerbal escape. They really should make the sun look different as you get farther away or closer in. Would add a little to the realism . OOo darn it hoped i didn't have to upload the image to the web first... 2% speed of light reached hmm at about 3 % the physics get wonky. Had to slow acc down... maybe i will fail utterly as the rest :---l well ill post and wait and see. Anyways this was a wonderfull crazy thread even if it was a bit old .
