Proper Fairings ASAP

[Superfluous J]

So maybe there is hope.

EDIT: Nope. Edit just let you go back to creating fairing.

Just came here to point this out as well

Oh well proc fairings it is.

[GusTurbo]

Seriously? I can't believe this. How could they screw up something so easy?

Whats happened?

[Tex_NL]

Whats happened?

Same thing as he's been complaining about for about a week. The new fairings detach as confetti and not as clamshells. I don't understand the real issue.

[Starwhip]

Scott's preview video showed the same thing... I'm actually anxious that they at least notice our concern.

But I am not going to let it get in the way of 1.0, no sir! I'll live with it if I must, or get Procedural Fairings once it comes out.

[GusTurbo]

This is so dumb! They couldn't even give us the option to do it right? With everything they've gotten right with 1.0, how in the world could they have screwed this feature up?

It even looks like we can't choose the number of sides they split into.

As have I!!! I am sure they even said it would be to the contrary. Confetti style is epic fail.

[Starwhip]

Here's to praying that every video in existence simply hasn't found the feature yet...

This cant be right.. Can it? A fix after v1.0? Or maybe in the release version. The streamers don't have the final release version.

This is ridiculous. No fairings in real life separate into confetti pieces for obvious reasons. What is not obvious is why Squad gave us these weirdly shaped fairings...

KSP isn't ready for 1.0. It's still a baby in stage of development IMO. Still no stackable SRB's, 1.875 meter parts, no clouds, no improved engine effects, fairings are wrong. Not ready yet.

Well the sig stays then until this grievous error has been rectified!

So the way it sounds like the fairing code works, it may be possible that a mod will come out that uses the stock code, allowing more customization but still keeping the craft stock, thus shareable.

This is awful

This is really disappointing. Did they actually think this was good enough?

[Frozen_Heart]

Though I don't feel as strongly about this as a lot of people here, I have to admit I am rather disappointed that clamshell fairings aren't an option.

KSP is all about variety and choice. This just seems so uncharacteristic.

[Hcube]

So it's exploding chips bag ?????

NOOOOO ! Im changing my signature immediatly. WE WANT CLAMSHELL SEPARATION !

Harvester was in chat when Das was showing this, and he said that the intent was for clamshell-style ejection, but he didn't have enough time to do that for 1.0, so I'd expect it in 1.1, 1.0.1, or whatever patch version comes next.

[John FX]

It seems I'll be sticking with FAR and procedural fairings. Must say though the new parts I have seen look nice.

[Superfluous J]

I know you're all disappointed, but come on. Is it seriously so terrible? Try this:

Blink as you hit the spacebar. You'll then not see it.

I was really hoping to be able to significantly lower the part count on my Saturn V replica by using sensible fairings, rather than having to do this:

Now I either have to give it unrealistic fairings or stay with the current kludge using wing segments.

That's nice, I suppose. I don't understand why confetti was the starting point though.

To bad they couldn't delay 1.0 until is was 1.0 ready.

Just blink? Seriously? Is it really to much to ask that Squad produce similar or better work than unpaid modders? Maybe I just expect to much from the companies I support.

[Frybert]

Think on the bright side. Put a Kerbal on a command chair inside the fairing. Explain that they got so tired of capsules exploding they just worked it into the design.

[Eric S]

There will always be something else that someone feels that 1.0 should have. From what I've seen so far, the game is good enough to be called 1.0.

[Superfluous J]

Yes, I'm being serious. Nobody's shown how the fairings work interstage (because they're too busy being "funny" and making sure Val is in every command pod) but if you can keep the vomit down during fairing separation I think it'll work perfectly for a Saturn V replica.

And "better" is subjective. You think it's horrifically worse. I think it's different and would prefer clamshells, but will happily use the stock fairings and be happy to check yet another must-install mod off the list.
