Finally going to have KSP!

[zulu266]

Hello All,

A year or more ago I played KSP on a friends machine and absolutely loved it. Didn't have a computer that could come close to handling it. Finally purchasing a computer that can handle it (and other things of course).

I debated the laptop/desktop thing for a while, but since I travel decided on a laptop. I don't need top of the line, but wanted something that could play the things I wanted at decent settings. Look good for KSP?

I should be up and running in another week or so.

I've been watching Scott Manley for a while online so already have a huge list of things I want to try and learn. Looking forward to it!

Welcome aboard!

Unfortunately I am at school, so I can't check the specs of your laptop, but my experience with mobile KSP has been a tad laggy. It actually works fairly great when you're in actual space, it's the launch itself that I find the hardest to work with.

Best of wishes to you!

With that graphics card and Windows 8, It should run just fine.

Anyways, welcome to the forums! Hope you have fun playing KSP.

Only thing i see bad about that laptop is it has windows 8.

Welcome the the forum! Say goodby to your life though. KSP is not a game. Its a passion!

Welcome to the family!

Do you solemnly swear and pledge your life and soul to the SQUAD team to use at- oh, sorry. Got a little carried away there. Just have fun!

Welcome, and enjoy! While you're waiting for your computer to arrive, check out the videos from any of the many streamers over in Live from Mission Control!

Welcome to the forums!

Glad to hear that you thought enough of the game that it stuck with you for a whole year. Taking a quick look at that laptop's specs, it actually looks better than mine, and mine mostly handles the game well (outside of a few annoyingly persistent frame rate issues with relatively larger crafts at launch, which I think is mostly due to the way the game renders ocean water). Do note that, as the current Windows release of KSP is a 32-bit program, only 4 GB of RAM is ever going to benefit you at most.

At any rate, hope you enjoy the game when you finally get it, and hope the new laptop suits your needs!

Heh, that laptop beats the snot out of mine; and it runs KSP okay-ish, so it should work great.

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks All. Laptop should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, just in time to get 1.0 loaded up and start flying.

I think I'm going to build a few things in Sandbox just to give my laptop a good run for it's money, then I'll start on Science Mode I think. Can't wait!

Congrats on your rig, and welcome to the forums! Share some video of your exploits when you can!
