@pandaman then why was the mod dark multiplayer elevated to feature and mechjeb wasnt? Both camps were equally vocal/loud and yet here we are. I want desperately to say more but ive said all i can over the years. 132203022023

Glad im not the only one who swears they saw procedural solar panels! Im about to say a very unpopular thing but he did listen to some fans (or someone did) because multiplayer is a thing or rather will be, but where is my unpopular thing? Other fans are constantly ignored, as many if not more over the years have clamored and begged for mechjeb to be made stock but us autopilot fans get ignored. And before anyone says it automation in the background so does not come close to being enough to count. But my opinion is my opinion (but i am right about us being ignored about getting mechjeb or a feature equivalent thing getting added). Id say procedural fairings (mod) being made stock counts too because stock “fairings” are a nightmare in ksp1 and if matt lownes video that i referenced means anything they look worse now… 120503022023

@Sea_Kerman to be fair ALL fairings even the “fairings” in stock fall into either category. Even (my opinion on the craft in the “thumb nail” in your example) that hideous monstrosity falls into the egg side, if a bit pointed. The reason this is true is aerodynamics. Your fairing no matter how (im so not talking about interstage here, but if you insist, Procedural Fairings made them as simple as simple gets, but we are talking top of rocket so back on track) fat or thin, ALL will be either conic or egg, only differences will be just how anemic or obese the fairing. 034303022023

@Sea_KermanIm certain you have either never used the mod Procedural Fairings or have extremely limited experience with it. I say this having enough extensive experience with the mod to know youre wrong. The mod has infinite shapes (regardless if you use egg or conic shaped) that INSTANTLY form to a shape that fits your payload. It has multiple symmetry settings the same as regular symmetry mode. Place a fairing base, choose the number of fairing sections ie 2 or 4 as just an example, choose if you want a conic or egg shaped fairing and take that fairing nub and drop it onto a node and bam instant fairing. Done and dusted. Need to alter the payload? Shape/size change? Instant adaptability. No faffing about with multiple layers. 1 fairing nub onto 1 node and youre done. The only limitation is you. The stock “fairings” do not have this ease or speed or adaptability. Yes SOME players can get close to the speed, but will still lack the instantaneous adaptability that the gold and diamond standard Procedural Fairings has. Why they still will not go with a superior fairing system like Procedural Fairings baffles me. 030503022023 030603022023

Please make the current “fairings” into the fairings we see in the ksp1 mod Procedural Fairings. Please. 014803022023

@darthgently its possible, but again, taking them out of the equation my point still stands given procedural wings, add in radiators and you augment my points strength. The fact they took a bad “fairing” set from stock ksp1 and if the video i referenced above by matt lowne is any indication they made them worse. A fact that just blows my mind. Given that again the mod procedural fairings (which may have been abandoned as ive not seen it updated in a long while) is by far the diamond and gold standard for what fairings should be was not adopted into ksp or ksp2 blows my mind. They had a PERFECT opportunity to give us proper fairings by duplicating how that mod works (other mods were incorporated into later iterations of ksp1 and now we see one being touted to many cheers <im looking at you multiplayer > being folded into ksp2) and fold it in but they dont… its frustrating to me. Will this stop me from EVENTUALLY getting ksp2? No, but other factors might, but how things unfold will show me if ksp2 is worth my money. I already stepped back once after seeing how fumbled things are right now. 213803012023

@Strawberry i could have sworn i saw something late last year about procedural solar panels but, even removing those and even ignoring radiators, my point still stands firm. 210203012023

Let me ask you this. You build your rocket, go to fly it and find you need to substantially alter your payload. How many clicks, how many steps to get clam shell deploy, reshape and resize your fairing? How easy? The “fairings” from stock are clunky and too finicky (from my ksp1 experience, but watching Lowne it looks way way worse in ksp2). With procedural fairings again imho the absolute gold standard fairing in ksp, its 1 click. Grab the fairing and drop it on the node and it auto shapes to your payload finding a size suitable to fit but not too large. 1 click. Easy. Instant. No fuss, no muss no needing tons of clicks or multiple segments. Also Matt Lowne was using them correctly as he is as close to expert as it gets yet the ksp2 junk (my honest opinion of both ksp1&2 stock fairings now knowing ksp2 failed to improve and looking like it went backwards) “fairings” look even more unbearable. Way I see it they dropped the ball. Ofc my opinion. 161803012023 please find my past posts regarding fairings to see my full opinion on fairings, but my opinion that what ksp1 calls fairings in stock is a poor joke and now it seems to extend to ksp2. I will never back down on calling the mod Procedural Fairings the absolute gold standard of what fairings in stock SHOULD be. 162403012023

@Bej Kerman from what I have seen and heard is that a ton of features are in place but hidden just to make EA work. At a bare minimum they have AT LEAST ONE functioning PROCEDURAL part in play and accessible to use in EA. Given this AND the fact that the mod Procedural Fairings has been a thing far far longer than even the first line of code for KSP2 I see no reasonable reason to have 1. The messy “fairings” from stock ksp1 and 2. Have somehow made them worse in KSP2. As far as I am concerned Bej your argument holds no water from my perspective given that procedural wings are in game and at a bare minimum procedural solar panels and radiators are in the code. That and the fact my post is feedback from a customer who has yet to pay my money to get in. Given that I am voicing my disappointment at the lack of a true procedural fairing given TT/Intercepts own publicized hype for procedural parts one would think the input and concerns of a potential customer pointing out yet another reason for not yet paying would carry weight and merit. So please dont denigrate what Im saying or concerned about with “I think the mistake in being heartbroken here is that EA is not a proper release…” And on the record fairings are a core aspect and not supplementary as your final line seems to indicate, especially as aerodynamics are(or will) be vital considerations. Having functional, easy to use and easy to understand fairings verses what I saw in Lownes video is core. 144803012023

Ive not even purchased KSP2 and I am beyond heart broken at what I just saw. I had hoped that with KSP2 and having procedural parts they would have adopted actual procedural fairings. What I just saw courtesy of matt lownes video: KSP2 Sending a Rover to EVE…Despite the Kraken Attacks! (Uploaded 8 or so hours prior to my post) just absolutely broke my heart. Less than 2 minutes 50 seconds in Matt is designing his rocket and goes to place the fairings. Do we see nice and easy to use fairings like the gold standard mod from KSP1 Procedural Fairings? Nope. What we see is more of the KSP1 stock “fairings” that are even worse some how… I am heart broken by this. I get it, its EA (still not an excuse imho) but they hyped procedural wings (in game from what ive seen via videos and carnasa’s live streams ive watched ((his space station shuttle streams))), procedural radiators (unknown to me on status) and procedural solar panels (possibly in game but unsure as ive not directly seen them) yet they use the clunky KSP1 “fairings” and seemingly make a (imho) bad system worse? I get it, ive not yet bought it or played it, but, I think I have a right to be disappointed by what Ive seen. Im hoping that either TT or a modder fix this so either procedural fairings (ksp1 mod) reaches ksp2 as a stock or mod thing. I will still likely jump in some day, but again, for now, im hanging out on the bench. Happy flying yall. 142003012023

Granted, you know where each bit of rebar is in your city center, their EXACT coordinates and you forget all else. i wish ksp2 was optimized and as playable as ksp1 230802282023

I neither like nor dislike ksp2 having not played it yet. I am waiting to see a more optimized and stable release before jumping in. the user below me has played both the original Diablo 2 and the new version Diablo 2 Resurrected. 182502282023

I want to get it, but for now i refuse. From what ive seen its unplayable and too many QOL things from KSP1 are missing. Time will see what happens. the user below me likes calvin and hobbes 185002252023

New rule: users must post a spaceman spiff strip that represents what can go wrong in KSP1 or 2 and why that image fits! id say a smoking spaceship encapsulates the kerbal experience! 174802252023

I am surprised I am going to say this given I WAS looking forward to KSP2, but, I am going to not buy it. Not now at least. From what I have seen the game is far less playable than expected. I am going to wait a few months at the least. My best wishes to all of you jumping in right now. Ill keep my ear to the ground and watch from the sidelines but for me, Im going to need to see a product that works as intended and at bare minimum as well as KSP1. Happy flying yall, but for me, mission scrubbed. <S> 202602242023

From what I recall, it should be about the same as what you paid, but for all of us jumping into ksp2 during EA, what we pay right now is our FINAL cost until DLC starts being a thing. What we pay in EA regardless if price goes up or not is more investment. 104102242023

Ive got 2 AAA games on preorder, Jedi Survivor and Assassins Creed Mirage. Wanna guess how much Im paying? $150 for ACM and $90 for Jedi Survivor. Im not saying you cannot be upset at seeing KSP2 for about $50 USD, but, to claim AAA titles are cheaper is just patently false. Im not sure where KSP2 falls in terms of AAA or not, but its no longer the indie game we know and loved that was KSP1, its a new creature built ground up by TakeTwo/Private Division and at the least (read: afaik) Take Two is a AAA house, so $50 for KSP2 tracks. Just my $0.02. 103102242023

@Dman979 ah. Btw dig the new avatar! 005402242023

Im on mobile 99.99999999999999% of the time and would love to be able to jump themes. @Ryaja is saying the theme button is at the bottom of the page next to privacy policy, but all i see? Privacy policy & contact us…. Any idea how to find and use this new magic on mobile? 003002242023

For me, forks pointy up, everything else down. My knives however (non butter knives) NEVER go into the dishwasher. Its a far too harsh environment and will damage the scales on the tang and could damage the blades. I use professional quality forged knives being a chef so my knives are a financial investment for me. 094902232023

@LHACK4142 i would but i did have an android phone once many years ago, wasnt happy with it. Mostly apple is ok lol 171602222023

Im excited to see all the new sights going interstellar will bring! Im also excited to see what we all are excited for! 130302222023

Im unhappy with apple right now. My phone pops up that little red icon on the settings app saying it has an update. Ok fine. So i let it instal ios 16.3.1. When its done I see a new app. Some bs called free form. I did not ask for it, i did not and do not want it. I do not care if it was released for the app store in conjunction with the ios update but to force the app onto my phone with out warning or asking or getting my consent? Um… NO! I find it appalling they thought that was ok. Bad enough they wont include chargers with your new stuff…. 021602222023

@DDE in advance i apologize if my knee-jerk reaction to your graph is upsetting but i saw it and before looking it over closely my mind instantly kicked out a single thought: that looks a lot like a dunning-kruger medium graph. After closer inspection it seems to be a legit graph from a legit company, but, compare it to a medium dunning kruger graph and tell me that im wrong in just how similar they look. this by no means means im picking on your graph or anything, its just something i wanted to point out as a comparison.. 222902212023
