Hello, and welcome to the forum, @febrion! Nice that you finally created an account. However, we do like seeing creations... even if you think they aren't good enough for the forum, we still want to see them - so share!

Not until the bugs are worked out! I’m not wasting hours and/or days on missions because KSP2 has issues (major issues) that affect gameplay. Until those bugs are addressed and I can dock without the game tossing me out/freezing/locking down my PC, then I will begin to play as I do in KSP (original). But right now, it’s just not possible.

Hello, @SethM, and welcome to the forum!

I dunno. Sometimes a big 'splosion is worth it! Especially if there's far flung debris!

Nah, @ColdJ has flashed himself again with his flashy thing and forgot what timezone he's in. But what about @Maria Sirona?

Granted, you are immediately taken back to May 14, 1973. I wish that summer would not be so hot nor bright this year...

Banned for being chained and banned.

I think so. Once the game will be released, who knows what the actual retail price will be. On Steam, I've seen some games, once released, retail as high as $69.99 and folks will gladly pay that for the game. Does KSP2 have that kind of name power? No, it certainly does not carry the name power of anything Star Wars. But it does have name power. I could easily see it going as high as $59.95. So, yeah, it's better to get in on it now, in my opinion, than to wait and buy it at full price. If the time comes when KSP2 does have DLCs, I will probably buy each and every one of them, too. KSP (the original), is still worth purchasing at full price with the DLCs, too. I still buy them as gifts to give to my fellow space-nerdy family and friends. It's just a really great game that will always be my go-to game when I need something to take my mind off real-world troubles.

Nope but maybe @Maria Sirona?

Oh, no you didn't - Remember the old forum debates about that? Those debates were worse than the "To MechJeb or Not to MechJeb" threads!

I understand. Do you know what the original KSP taught me? The Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica is garbage. It won't work as it does in the show. If you get it to survive reentry, you aren't going back into space in it. And it certainly does not handle that well in space, either! The X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars? Um, should never be used in a fight. It cannot fly well in an atmosphere and won't make it into orbit if launched from a planet. The U.S.S. Enterprise - Nah, I don't want to spoil it for you. I do have some rather nifty looking craft in KSP (original), and when KSP2 comes out, I plan on going back to the craft I enjoy making craft that aren't so ugly. But when the game is going to treat me so poorly and I want to do some short evening missions, ugly craft it is!

Newbie! buhahaha... On some of these early KSP2 designs, I have reverted back to what I did before all the mods. I put both forward facing and the traditional back-facing rockets. Instead of a heavy reliance of monopropellant to flip a rocket over to slow it down (as NASA did with the Apollo missions and is doing with Artemis), I just have the craft designed so that it has equal thrust available at both ends. Sure, the thing is ugly, but sometimes UGLY is functional.

Oh, so close and yet so far away. "Moar boosters" is the cry of my people!

Heh, welcome to the fun of an early access game. May I recommend a different playing strategy? Here's what I've been doing in KSP2 - and for the most part, it's not for anything other than giggles, grins, and all-out laughs! I do not do any serious sessions where I expect any sort of save game to ever be able to load. So, no long term missions like I do in my 1.3 game. I throw crap craft together and come up with the most absurd craft I can think of... To paraphrase a USPS commercial, "click and ship" and wow, have I seen some spectacular explosions! And unexpectedly, a few have gotten into orbit, and a few have made it to the Mün and back! I also never dock anything knowing that docking does not work. And when I feel myself getting angry, I just go do something non-computer for a while. It just isn't worth getting angry over something that's supposed to be fun.

Well, since there is no thread called, "What did you do in KSP yesterday?" I guess it's okay to share what I did last night here. Before I get a lot of questions about what version I'm playing, I am still playing in 1.3, where the landing legs work, wheels work, and there's no ground creep! Anyway, last night, I decided that it had been a while since I had done a shuttle launch. No, I did not recreate the American STS program. This is the Kerbalized STS program... The STS Jala Kerman is now in an equatorial orbit at roughly 95,200 meters and is waiting for this evening when she will dock with the space station I have in orbit. So, the adventure continues!

On my desktop I have to play with low graphics for this very reason... I feel your pain.

I am here. Fighting the desire to say "screw it" to the job and retire before the summer term starts. So, anyway, where's @kspbutitscursed?

Should you what? Consider a collision with a stone in the rings of Dres? Collision? As a planned collision with something that 'splodes in KSP2? We know the answer to that...

Asia Minor was part of a trade network that Mesopotamia/the Middle East from the time of Middle Egypt. It had vast resources of tin, copper, and iron ore. Not to mention that, but the Minoans and the later Mycenaeans who superseded them were expert seamen. We know both Egypt, Babylon, and Hittite civilizations were getting their tin from Asia Minor because of mineralogy studies and archaeology. In fact, it was one of the reasons the Romans wanted to control Asia Minor so bad - the mineral/metal wealth of Asia Minor. There's a common myth that trade was limited in the Ancient Era - and that is just that - a myth.
