There will be a "Gamers Edition" of KSP. Credit goes to r4pt0r for finding it, here is the thread. Discuss in that thread.

[Robotengineer]

Gamers Edition becomes official, KSP also going to be sold on GOG.com.

[DoToH]

This thread should be stickied(IMO). Any moderator?

[Vanamonde]

Several posts have been removed from this thread because they are opinion rather than news, and to quote the OP,

I want to add, this is not a place for debating whether or not Squad should standardize info, etc. It's a central thread for bringing info about Squad/KSP in to the forum from outside places.

Please keep this thread strictly informational, so as not to duplicate discussions from other threads.

Four page long changelog for 1.0. Credit to smjjames in the hypetrain thread.

Reddit Q&A: Are the saves from .90 going to be compatible with 1.0?

They should be. As far as we can tell no change was made that would knowingly break compatibility with previous saves.

However, as was mentioned here already, this only applies if you play an unmodded game. There is no way for us to know whether mods will still be compatible after the update, and judging by the amount of code we changed, it's probably best to assume they won't function until they're confirmed to work or updated.

We do strongly recommend starting clean after the update in any case, just to avoid any potential frustration.

Cheers

Someone over there needs to ask about the aerodynamics overlay and the deltaV thing. No guarantee that he'll answer though.

Maxmaps said that the bug Scott Manley found has already been fixed. link

He also addressed DV readouts. link

Dres-steroids were RoverDude's idea.

Ore will be cheap, not worth recovering for funds.

No such thing as a 'mere modder'.

Servers migrate north.

No DLC planned, but expansions are possible.

Did you guys have to learn a lot of physics?

For newbies, is it a game you can play casually or do you need to be able to devote a minimum number of hours in to keep up on what is happening?

Which feature that you added to the game have you been most proud of?

What parts would you like to make post 1.0?

Breaking the sound barrier is now an accomplishment that is rewarded with supersonic drag mechanics.

No short term plans to expand the solar system.

Some imrovements to water.

KSP will need to be done before Squad makes another game, and that may take a long while.

I will continue to update this as more questions appear.

I asked this but nobody voted it up.

Where is the aerodynamics gui that was hinted in several devnotes? I've not seen a hint of it in any of the streams or preview videos.

[Sandworm]

I think it is hidden in the debug menu.

Das showed it and played around with it in his livestream before Scott.

Sweet. I've downloaded that one but not watched it yet.

Don't worry man, you'll be able to play with it yourself in just slightly over two hours. I assume it's two hours as they've been coyly hinting 'Monday' and that's two hours away from here (2h 6m right now..)

[Robotengineer]

Dahud is messing with it now.

[Temeter]

I think it is hidden in the debug menu.

It is. There is some incredibly useful stuff, like arrows showing the current lift effect of every part or parts showing their heat-level via tint. Squad didn't yet implement the feature into the actual gameplay. Maxmaps said Delta-V values will come as a engineer-ability at a later date, so i assume the overlays will be similar.

Which is, in my opinion, a pretty cool way to go about this, continually giving your more data-tools.

Oh joy, more sliders. As I said in another thread: abundance of "choice" eventually becomes stifling. A good game has good rules balanced against good, not limitless, choice.
