Brotoro Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Things I'd like:Clouds (which can be disabled for slow machines, and toggled in Map view)Alarm ClockPrecise Node Editor (with the "o" hotkey to reopen collapsed nodes)Hoses for Surface RefuelingDocking Camera (and mountable cameras for unmanned probes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakuzi Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I doubt that it is life support, since HarvesteR already said more than once he was unwilling to put it on stock game.Harv also stated on multiple occasions that other systems wouldn't be in the game, which are making an appearance in the next release(s), including procedural parts (fairings), science over time (the updated lab module), and a delta-v readout. I agree with you that life-support is unlikely, only because it would take a lot of work/balancing.Other possibilities:- Clouds (fingers crossed)- Science over time space station modules, should be easy now that the science over time lab module is implemented- Terrain scatter with collision boxes- Command seats that can be manned in the VAB/SPH- Proper parachutes- Mapsat Any/all of these would be fine Felipe, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kraft Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Full support for Brotoro's suggestions.EDIT: also, CITIES! I think HarvesteR did some work "off-camera", and is planning to finish them at release date, and they were already walked through during QA. So now, it's just some texture tweaking and final testing..maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motokid600 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Because if someone working on the game says its a long over due feature and all they give us are clouds it will make Squad look like a joke for a dev team, "Heres your long over due feature i've been working on some crappy unity engine clouds for you to look at for a few minutes every time you launch!"Like a joke to who? You? Not me. Clouds are currently not featured in the game. So if Squad implements them then they will be featured in the game. And go figure clouds happen to be long overdue."Look at for a few minutes" ... Now c'mon, you gonna sit there and tell me you don't spend anytime in LKO? Or in planes?But regardless all I'm saying is you need to redefine your view of what a "feature" is. Edited April 22, 2015 by Motokid600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer713 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm skeptic about clouds being added. If only because it seems like too obvious of a feature for HarvesteR to not elaborate on right away.Assuming it's not clouds, I suppose I'll be hoping for proper parachutes myself.

klgraham1013 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Clouds also give a certain...atmosphere...to other planets depending on the mods you use. I've seen a lovely mist on Minus, and Duna becomes that much more alien with sandstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should add flowers at that point why stop at clouds? Hell adding collision mesh to the ground scatter would be more of a feature then clouds.

The game doesn't have clouds. Therefore the game doesn't feature clouds. It's as simple as that."I’ve dedicated a couple of days here to implement a feature which I think has been missing for far too long from the game..."A feature. Not a gameplay feature. Not a graphical feature. But A feature. Edited April 22, 2015 by Motokid600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody_1707 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm hoping for, in ascending order of importance, clouds, real parachutes, radar altimeter on the main HUD (and not simply tucked away in the IVA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fel Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) With all of the open source code on them, i'd be surprised if any half-competent programmer couldn't knock something decent up in 2 days.With all the proprietary licensed code that requires distributing your executable with a similar license that typically requires full distribution of source code... Making certain the license isn't modified or incompatible with your commercial ventures is easily a bigger pain than 2 days.Of course, what I think is missing is always on DRM. It's a FEATURE! *Says EA/Blizzard*Nah, who knows what the guy really thinks anyways. SQUAD really does like being secretive.Does the new aerodynamic model open the door to the possibility of storms? Clouds with a purpose!Oh, I like this. First, you have basic aerodynamics, then you add in viscosity variables, then you have evaporation cycles, and then you add in all the complex systems for weather simulation and get.KSP 2.0, fly a rocket into the storm (eye) of Jool!Can have a hurricane come over and destroy the space center, or have typhoons...

Yakuzi Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Clouds are currently not featured in the game.Welllllllllll, if you're in the VAB/SPH there are clouds in the background (I'm with you on this one though).Clouds are not a in game feature they are an aesthetic [snip]Pedantry... if the "barn" is considered a feature, clouds are equally a feature. I'd much rather have clouds I can enjoy looking at and flying through on (almost) all planets than a barn I'll upgrade as soon as I get the chance...

tater Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 YOu see clouds from orbit as well. That said, I would much prefer better procedural terrain, with hazards that are of closer scale-size to spacecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
