...I found KSP 0.6.5 (a pre 0.7.3 version)

[Kaizen]

A pre 0.7.3 version. Wha?? The file is at http://www.datainterlock.com/Kerbaltopia/ksp-archived-versions/

It's smaller by about 1.5MB than the 0.7.3 ZIP

I thought file-sharing was frowned upon...

Idk it could be malicious- let's consider it fake.

[Kaizen]

True.

Although I've been doing some testing of v0.6.5 and v0.7.3 and I've only found a few things so far:

0.6.5 is a bit buggier, and the Mk1 Command Pod is renamed "devtest"

Also:

- The Mission End screen is a bit different

- The green early version overlay is not there

- Ships go slightly less far. (6.1k v0.6.5 - 6.3k 0.7.3)

Elaborate on ships going far? Ships go as far as you design them to go.

[Kaizen]

As in, the exact same ship, in v0.6.5 and v0.7.3, went 200 meters further in v0.6.5.

It's ok. All those early alpha releases are freeware.

I know who's distributing it.  It's safe.

Well that's a rarity coming from the Internet.

Well, as long as someone I don't know on the internet says it's safe...

It's @Fengist's work.  I'd actually like to thank him for providing it.  He has since left the forums, but the website's still up.

[Kaizen]

Also I'd like to point out that there is a bug in v0.6.5 that I couldn't trigger in 0.7.3. Also:

KSP 0.6.5 Dev Test.zip	60,343,588 bytes
KSP 0.7.3.zip	59,918,203 bytes

 

^ direct download for you (and 0.7.3 for the comparison) Proof that they are different sizes.

EDIT:

‎18/‎06/‎2011 - 0.6.5

Also, a forum post has v0.7/v0.7r2 on 20/23 Jun 2011.

24/‎06/‎2011 - 0.7.3

How?

[Fengist]

Since this got dredged up, those files were once listed on the forums.  They were all on horrid offsite links that made it a pain to download, some were even busted.  I merely moved them over to my server, scanned them for virus' and made them available. 

[Eloann2006]

Hello, i make a library of all version of ksp and i like have ksp 0.6 5 , the linkis dead if you have the file can you make a download link please

[Eloann2006]

Hello i make a ksp archive of versio and i like take this version for my archive but the link is dead, if tou have this version, can you give to me? Please

[jimmymcgoochie]

@Eloann2006 two things:

1) Welcome to the forums!

<moderator snip>

I suspect there will be pre-existing archives of all KSP versions out there already, and even if there aren't why would you want a very old and known to be buggy development-era version of the game when there are plenty of proper and (generally speaking) less buggy release versions available?

[Geonovast]

Some posts have been edited or removed.

Posting to old threads isn't against the rules as long as it's still relevant to the original content.

[Eloann2006]

@jimmymcgoochie,

I do not want it to play of course but to be able to archive it and save it.and wath is the moderator snip content?

Fixed some formatting.

[Vanamonde]

@Eloann2006, we moderators substitute [snip] for things we remove to keep threads on-topic, so it doesn't look like we're making changes to stuff in secret.  

[Eloann2006]

@jimmymcgoochie,@vanamonde,you have a download link for this ksp 0.6.5 version?

[Vanamonde]

I did not know this version existed, so, no.

[Eloann2006]

@Vanamonde,

ok i will keep looking

[splatn't™]

Wen trying to open the files i get "database error" on the host site. Hmmph.
