Is it really worth developing an alternate to kOS instead of contributing resources/ideas to the existing system that has an audience? Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your work, but it does seem a shame to fragment what is probably already a fairly small userbase.

No one suggested we're entitled to anything. But considering we're in their beta program, it'd be *pleasant*, wouldn't it?

... I never expected my thread to actually take off, haha. Cheers for all the input so far chaps, think I'll update my playlist shortly with some of the links here

Perhaps you need to work on your diplomatic skills then, rather than suggest everyone jump ship with you.

I don't think we *need* any of the things you mentioned, considering they're all provided for us and will be for the next few years.

OP, I agree. Naming, and fluff in general, usually takes up 50% of my KSP-playing time. For example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EbKwhlZAn4bbai86rcqXHx2hY4VoiGoyr2e19IxbM88/edit?usp=sharing - the mission log of my first attempt at 0.22 (just a day or two's play, haven't touched it in a while) I... I need to furnish my activities with context. It's an illness

Turkington Space Service, same as I use for most gamey RP stuff I do

'It flies!' - Summary notes for a successful mission.

Filthy casual!

My little bro watched/helped me design my first ever Munar lander. Best weekend ever. Got him so hooked he asked for the game for his birthday

All aboard the Minimus Minimus Manned Probe!

I use a similar system to OP OS(M)-04B ACROPOLIS OS(M): Orbital Satellite (Manned) 04: Fourth design of an OS(M) B: Second iteration of 04 design Acropolis: The height of civilisation :3 It's great for finding vehicle designs quickly in the 'load file' window.

For the lebensraum?

I tend to do go through missions from start to end in my head nowadays, checking I have all the necessary bits and bobs, because this happens way to friggin much for me. A checkbox ingame... or a pen and paper on the desk... is massively useful.

Yeah... after a good few hours when you end up with a design using 20 orange tanks and 18 SRBs to launch a satellite... you realise you may have over-engineered something

As soon as 0.22 hits, I'll be starting a new save following this exact principle :3 Up until then, however, they're my disposable command modules

Also: does the mun appear the same to everyone, or is everyone's terrain map different?

On a similar note, perhaps your budget relies on you pleasing your financiers with notable achievements & progress?

Considering they're just 'vehicles' when they leave the hangar/building, I'd assume they already kinda do in practice.

Right, I'll stop delaying a Duna mission then

Have the devs suggested when this might be coming out? Roughly?

This video's given me a much greater respect for the game developers, for knowing what technical challenges they've faced with features we might otherwise take for granted as 'doable'. Gives me a bit of context when I internally wish they'd add X, Y and Z to the game. Just a shame they ran out of time to wow the audience

Hey, awesome

Precisely. This is magical.
