New updates?

[Stevenator1]

Hey bros,

I\'ve been with you for a loooong time sporadically. College, life, you know.

ANYWAYS, I haven\'t played since 13.1

I\'m going to go sift through all the update notes, but an actual user can probably tell me the more important updates since this time.

Anything cool and new on Kerball? (Did we finally give the planet a name?)

[Imandreas]

Well, Kerbin has always been named Kerbin.

Persistence got added.

Map view was improved.

Plane construction in vanilla

A new mun.

Plugins.

More exploded Kerblings.

Monoliths on every celestial body.

Kerbol is solid.

Oh, and did I mention that Kerbin went through climate change and now has deeper water and ice caps?

Thank you much for the quick reply!

Actually, there was much debate in the early releases (I\'m talking like, version 7 and 8) of what the names of the people, planets, sun, solar system, etc. were

That is absolutely fantastic, I love it! Persistence was my one singular issue that I had with the early updates, I am soo happy that they added it!

And the new mun... Now time to make ANOTHER vanilla rocket powerful enough to explore it... Does it have the same mechanics as the original Mun?

The new second one is smaller, has an inclined orbit, and is farther away. You might want to play in the atmosphere first, though.

Well I\'m still quite familiar with my basic solid and liquid engines Remember, been here for almost a year (joined the forums about 2 months into gameplay)

All these air-intake engines, however... Are going to take some getting used to!

Minmus, the new moon, is 47,000KM away, inclined heavily, has a surface gravity of 37% of the Mun\'s and is only 120KM in equatorial diameter. It\'s a mint-green color and the mountains are HUGE compared to the planet. The curvature is heavily pronounced at only a few kilometers in altitude because of how small it is.

It\'s a great place to explore.

Happy launchings and welcome back.

Thanks much Vincent. I have some time to explore the new updates this week before more stuff comes up, so I am very happy to do so. I\'m extremely interested in the new vanilla stuff that has came out. Unfortunately for my own learning curve, I absolutely hate using other people to learn the functions of these parts, so it is going to take me DAYS to figure out the functions, and the paterns of everything.

I will gladly help you with whatever you\'re having trouble with.

Kosmo-Not here at the forums is also really helpful when it comes to stock parts and efficiency. He\'s out of town until tomorrow, though.
