KSP Saves to Consoles

[Commander Jebidiah]

Hello, just a discussion that also happens to be a discussion.

So with KSP planned for the Xbox 1, PS4 and Wii U I and some friends were wondering, will we be able to sync our saves between Console and PC, and more importantly be able to make a craft on PC then transfer it to Console to use it (We all have really low powered laptops).

So my question to the community is, "Do you think we should be able to sync saves, share craft files or both between PC and Console?"

Now remember this is not a thread about multiplayer this is just about syncing games.

Mods feel free to move this to where you think it belongs.

I highly doubt things like save and craft file format will need to change for consoles unless the console is doing something weird; they're both literally text files.

I know they will be compatible, Im wondering if we will be able to use the craft created on PC then transfer it to a console without having to rebuild it from scratch

The bigger concern with this regard is access. I don't know about XBox or Playstation but we don't have access to the file system on the Wii U, so Squad or Flying Tiger would have to add an import function. I doubt file format will be a big concern. It certainly would be nice to have that degree of flexibility though.

Another concern would be mods. The Import/Export would have to somehow filter all mod parts.
