my first impressions feedback to 1.0

[hawk_za]

hi all

been playing this game since about .17 recently tried out 1.0 and I would like to give my feedback as a newish player starting out in campaign mode on normal difficulty

this is NOT intended as a bashing of ksp but rather as constructive view

well I got 1.0 and allot of cool things have been fixed but the contract system is still shot I am getting contracts I don't have the tech for and am not even close to getting like do an survey at 18,200m

also on the contract system why am I taking up space tourist's to the moon before sending probes it makes no sense to me

difficulty should be scaled on weight of craft and on difficulty of contracts

when I just unlocked the jet engine no matter how hard I try I cannot build a plane to that will go that high in under 30 parts

the costs to unlock structures is hugely prohibitive. (this however could be due to inexperience and upgrading the wrong buildings first)

and while the new aero is cool I am having a hell of a hard time understanding why my small plane is doing things it should not be doing ..like after a certain speed it just wants to nose dive and that leads to allot of frustration

the new heat system has a ton of potential but needs a proper user feedback system

the aerial's ............REALY guys come on now a bit of basic math is all that's required here there is currently NO reason to use any other aerial other than the com16 and don't tell me form factor as the coms 16 is the smallest form factor there is with the offset tool.

see below diagram

........................................ : coms 16 .........:..... dts-m1..........:..........communitron 88

packet size in mits...............:........2.0 ...........:.......2.0 .............:.............. 2.0

mits/sec............................ :........ 1.2...........:.........0.7.............:................0.2

electric charge p/packet .......:.........12.0 ..........:.......12.0 ...........:.................20

total time to transmit............:.........8.3sec.........:.....14.28sec.......:............ 50 sec

10mits worth of data

total electric charge to .........:.......................... :...........................:

transmit 10 mits worth........ : ......60 charge.......:......60charge ........:.......100 charge

of data...............................:............................:............................:

as you can see the better tech is unlocked in the tech tree the worst it gets it take more time and in some cases a hell of allot more charge

this is a massive bugbear of myn

as stated earlier not a bash but ....lets call it areas of concern for patch 1.1

as always keep up the awesome work
