Are Your crafts ready for 1.0?

[Major999]

So, after hearing about part rebalances, aero updates, and new parts, how much updating do you guys think your crafts will need?

Personally, I have a lot of streamlining to do.

[JedTech]

Starting over. I'm not bringing any craft files with me.

[Tex_NL]

Are my craft ready? I guess that depends on whether or not the RAM toasting load of mods I use are ready.

[Yukon0009]

Never, I feel half of them will break even being full stock.

[gmiddlemass]

Same here (Starting over)... I may use a similar basic design of the old craft but fully expect to have to rebuild most of my stuff and I'm looking forward to it, I'm starting a new career save anyway so the parts may unlock in a different order.

EDIT: Didn't vote in the pole as there didn't seem to be an option for "Not bothered". Also we don't really know what will need updating till V1.0 drops.

1.0 is like a fresh start, as a few years ago. So many new changes and things to consider. A lot of stuff will still work though, but hey, all the old crafts will not be used anymore. Time to build new abominations!

[Darnok]

Fresh start is a good thing

[Columbia]

All my crafts are basically screwed.

[eddiew]

Planning a week of sandbox while a few mods catch up anyway - plenty of time to figure out how the new aerodynamics work (or revert to using FAR) before kicking off a new career

Though I hope that what flew under FAR will fly under the new stock aerodynamics anyway...

[cicatrix]

Who needs old junk?! I'm looking forward to starting from scratch. This is a part of the fun.

[A-Stax32]

I'm not going to bother with most of my craft. Maybe a few I will want to continue to use but they will need considerable upgrades. For the first couple days however I'll focus on getting used to the new aerodynamics and building new Kerbal Death Machines TM safe and completely up to regulation civilian spacecraft

[biohazard15]

Since I've been using FAR and DRE since 0.24, all my crafts is basically ready to fly. A few tweaks here and there, maybe.

[Scarecrow88]

I'll try some of my existing craft to see how broken they are, if at all. If they are really broken, I will start afresh. If they aren't too bad, I will just make the required changes to the ones I really like flying.

[Azref]

As nearly all my craft result in death already, I personally feel that they're all going to need a complete redesign for 1.0

[Sufficient Anonymity]

I'm totally starting over.

[Radam]

Everyone, STOP worrying. A terribly un aerodynamic craft from 0.9 will get to orbit easier in 1.0!

In 0.9 without FAR you need about 4500m/s dv to get to orbit. With FAR you need about 4000 with a terrible craft. And 3500 with a good one.

[SemiaCloud]

I will get multiple installs.

[Radam]

Ok sure, for planes, thats a different story.

[Emilio]

I've just come back to KSP a few days ago, so I might as well start over. But I wonder if my FAR-adapted style of building will work with the new aerodynamics - I hope so at least.

[i like turtles]

I have a replica 747 :3 though it has to wait D:

the ksp website is under maintenance so i cant download it

[Roflcopterkklol]

None of my craft will work anymore i suspect, i do not use rockets all my vehicles are in the SPH and i always used stock aero for them

[Starwhip]

Throw out all that old rusty junk all away, make it all shiny and new.

[Mister Dilsby]

Capital ships like KSS Wasabi Maru will work fine, but will benefit from some new parts and also will likely need new delivery systems to get orbit. I will probably end up relying more on orbital construction due to realistic aero effects...actually am looking forward to the challenge!

But the backbone of Kerbfleet is its spaceplanes, and of course those will all need a complete re-do. From the single-seat Pogo series of crew shuttles, to Gliido light interplanetary craft, to Bumblefly medium cargo ship and Spacecow heavy tankers--all of it starts over today.

The design team couldn't be happier

[panzer1b]

Most likely my capital ships will be at most swapped to LF tanks as LFO is now useless for everything in the whole game. Maybee a little vernor fuel though. Nukes witching to LF only basically means everything that isnt designed to land or requires insane acceleration will basically not have any Oxy onboard. Rip LFO tanks, and good riddance, the pure LF tanks have better impact tolerances and give you MUCH better armor/resilience.

Aside from this all my sstos need to be rebuilt, as too much changed for aircraft styled parts, not to mention i highly doubt that the new rebalanced parst will allow stuff to maintain functionality, especially my SSTOs that are lathe capable, will need to test out how much they nerfed jet engines/airhogging.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Nope! Not at all...

Crap...
