Default throttle position to full ?

Is this really a problem though? Are people really sitting around their computers raging about the default throttle when all they have to do is hit x? I'll be honest, this rates somewhere below cactus aesthetics for me. 

I know.  It's like when I start my car and have to unlock the gas pedal from 50% every time.  It's no big deal.

It's about logic.  If they can't deal with such a simple problem, how can we expect them to get the tech tree right?

sorry, but most stupid post ever!
There is a switch in the physics.cfg [edit: PHYSICSGLOBAL] to set it to whatever you want. so they dealt with it long ago and way better than "the minimum".

Your Posting is nothing but offending and unnecessary!

Spoiler

MM patch with:

@PHYSICSGLOBALS
{
prelaunchDefaultThrottle = 0
}

Players shouldn't have to edit a config file to get a reasonable setting.

I agree, I can be offensive.

Unfortunately, he is right. SQUAD created a little game with huge potential and is now wildly flaying about after the game took off.

Default throttle, "activate while being stowed", the tech tree, the "career mode", everywhere is half cooked stuff and no hint of any plan to ever make a game out of it.

so u guys paid for it anyway and get even free updates.. and are STILL complaining? what the hell?
They could also just say "we sell v1.1. as KSP 2.o and u have to pay again for improvements".

Dont you understand that they ARE working on fixing the issues already and that you are expecting more than you initially paid for? (both of u even paid for EarlyAccess :D)

so so finish this MONTHLY thread:

to edit default throttle, create a MM patch (defaultthrottle.cfg) in gamedata with:

@PHYSICSGLOBALS
{
prelaunchDefaultThrottle = 0
}

@Mod: please close this or its gonna become a trollthread.

I have paid for the ability to install mods, so that I can use the work of volunteers to try to move the game towards its full potential.

And complaining is useful, because if nobody complains the developers will think we actually want them to implement anti features (and be grateful for the "free updates").

Well, I see this has just been turned into another Squad bashing thread, so I'm closing it.

If you want the developers to be receptive to your ideas try to be more like @Kevin Kyle, his post was fine, it laid out the issue and made a sensible request.

Some of the post after that...not so much.

Default throttle was set to zero at community request, then reverted because new players couldn't launch their rockets, going back to 50% was seen as a great thing by the majority as it helped stem the "Help I can't launch" threads, but how quickly some forget.

Full throttle would be nice, but it's no hardship to press Z, and there are addons to alter the default behaviour
