Red Iron Crown Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 1 minute ago, Andem said: I missed this just like you missed my point. I like the new engines, but messing with the style of the game is just a bad idea, which is why I don't want to see them in the game. I'm trying to point out a real problem, and everyone is just blowing me off or deflecting. I get what you're saying here, and I've heard others express similar in other venues. I'm just not clear why you feel (as some others do) that these are so different from the current art style. For most people a rocket engine is a rocket engine is a rocket engine, these don't seem to be jarringly different from the current models aside from being a good bit prettier. They look good next to the stock parts shown, and to be completely frank I find mixing the current spaceplane parts with the rocket parts far more jarring in terms of conflicting art styles. Caveat: Any discussion of art is subjective, and the above is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a subjective disagreement where the majority happens to disagree with you or (at the very least) doesn't share your concern. Given that, there's no benefit to further discussion of the subject in the hype train thread. Best, -Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that. Watched ST: Beyond this week. Found it boring and horrible. Train is chugging along and the engines look damn fine by me.

FullMetalMachinist Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 5 hours ago, Temeter said: Having to open the navball on map screen every single time, even more so since the small button is hidden in windowed mode, is such a little annoying thing... I know that this is kinda moot now that there will soon be an option to always have it open, but you don't have to click on the tiny button to open the navball. Just press "." on the number pad, it toggles the navball in both the flight screen and the map screen. On the subject of hype, after seeing the squadcast, and reading the thread discussing it, I'm very excited for this update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMensae Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The Hype Train gets even more real: On Saturday there is a 1.2 Experimentals stream marathon on Twitch, like there was for the 1.1 Experimentals: If this continues like with 1.1, then expect the public 1.2 Pre-Release on Monday.

RocketSquid Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Even with the Experimentals Marathon we're only at 44% hype!! This train can't even run with less than 30%.

Whirligig Girl Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 [Stream]: Even faster loading time. (10-15 second load time) [Stream]: More Game Difficulty settings, including Comm Network, Advanced Settings, and Moddability for the Game Difficulty Settings Panel. [Stream]: Quicksaving and Quickloading from KSC. [Stream]: Weighted Contracts. Refuse Duna Contracts = Get Less Duna Contracts. [Stream]: Some parts have been changed in their purpose. [Stream]: O-10 "Puff" Monoprop Engine has been revamped, as has the little one-way RCS thruster. [Stream]: 5 different Antennas. Antennas break in the atmo. [Stream]: Advanced Tweakables: More Micromanagement, appears to be a system for changing the fuel flow among other things. It has to be enabled in settings. -[Stream]: Parachutes can be set to Deploy Immediately, Deploy when Risky, Deploy when Safe. -[Stream]: Autostrut allows for more rigid noodle rockets. Strut to Root Part or Heaviest Part. -[Stream]: Aim Camera tool to point and click and any part! You can aim at launch clamps and control the ship after launch. -[Stream]: Limit Pitch/Roll/Yaw for engines. (Was that actually new?) [Stream]: Upgradeable parts in Career? [Stream]: Quit to Main Menu from Flight. [Stream]: Better, rewritten Aerodynamics. Seems to be more like FAR. [Stream]: More Debug Menu Options. -[Stream]: Stock Set Orbit tool. Default sets you to 87km Kerbin Orbit. Allow with rendezvous with asteroids or vessels. It's SemiMajorAxis, not Altitude. You have to account for the radius of the planet. -[Stream]: Create Kerbals. Heck yes! No more config kerjiggering. Let's hope TextureReplacer mod will be able to modify this menu. -[Stream]: Hack Gravity allows you to set the gravity to whatever you want. All the way from 0 to 10 Gees. [Stream]: Experiment Storage Box. No longer require a Kerbal to go EVA to collect all the science from a vessel. It's a box-like shape. I hope we see a mod very soon that will give us a little conical capsule shaped return box. [Stream]: Experimentals Bugs. [Stream]: New Quality of Life General Settings. Turn off Auto-Hide in Map View, Change Default Pre-Launch Throttle, and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Woa there is more to this update than i thought! Hype! I especially like how probe cores can hibernate in warp now, that's a big quality of life improvement! -Rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
