Though really, this more describes what my IRL day was like, rather than what I did in KSP.
Edit: Hey! What is this doing un stickied?
-
Yes because we are entitled to nothing. Squad does not have to show us anything what-so-ever.
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
-
lol, I have an inbox full of infractions for the most asinine things that suggests you just creatively interpret rules when you wish and enforce some outrageously absurd ones.
I definitely have one or two in here that specifically refers to special rules protecting the devs.
Not that the community here is much better. I got a negative rep comment for 'being argumentative'. It's not that I care about rep, but seriously? Because I don't agree with the circlejerk?
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.
-
may even be better to use than keyboard+mouse
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
-
I usually do it as:
First word: [Planet Objective]
One of three for size: Minimus, Medial, or Mammoth
Last word: [What type of rocket] such as rover, rocket, SSTO, et cetera.
I have only ever used this formula twice and are lying to you.
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.

Now working on my plan to colonize the Kerbol system.
For the lebensraum?
-
Been there. Well, I can't say I've spent 8hrs on such a project, but I've been there.
My most demoralizing moments are when I manage to put together a massive mission, get it there and only THEN realize I forgot to put a part on, or something went wrong that was more code related.
One was a mission to Jool where I was going to land on Tylo, FINALLY. Spent about 20hrs between designing everything, launching assembly and getting to Tylo. I drop the lander and get about 800m above the surface and go to extend the landing legs.
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
-
I'm a huge softee when it comes to my Kerbal's lives. I do extensive testing before launch, I provide them with escape systems and back-up plans. And if (when) it all goes south anyway, I drop everything and go rescue them. So far I haven't killed any, and Jeb is the only one stranded in interplanetary space (intentionally, to keep him from talking to the press.)
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?
-
I would like:
Wages for staff. Get better r+d by paying for better scientists.
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
-
This exactly...what a fantastic project.
Precisely. This is magical.
[WIP] Jebnix - A kOS Alternative
in KSP1 Mod Development
Posted
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.
