Randox Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think for IVA's what they are aiming for is the basic internal view, much like how we got all the basic mechanics for EVA last time. For EVA, the most basic step was full mobility, since the kerbals are just little space ships that move funny and look goofy, and they are simply spawned and unspawned. The cockpit doesn't actually exist inside the command pod part, so the most basic step would be rendering the internal space with kerbals in it, and presumably being able to see out the windows and fly the ship from some sort of cockpit view. After that, it might be safe to guess that 0.18 will be when we can expect to be able to move around inside the ship, since this would still be pretty basic IVA stuff (in terms of features, not in terms of complexity or anything), and it seems like what they are doing is building all the basic features first so that they can build it all up from there, which makes sense. A lot of this stuff impacts on the way everything else is coded, as revealed in the blogs, so once you have all the foundation going, building that stuff up like giving us stuff to do while on EVA will interfere less with the rest of the code. I expect IVA's will have to span two versions to get us the real basic foundation, though I might be plesently surprised. After that, I sincerely hope docking finds its way back onto the list for 0.19, or .20 at the latest. In my ideal world while trying to keep it realistic, perhaps rudimentary docking in 0.19, and the orbital hanger for 0.20 though I hope that ultimately we are able to choose between the space hanger for simplicity and speed, and manual construction by putting things in orbit ourselves for the cool factor.

Capt'n Skunky Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Did anyone notice the set ship orbit box in the same GUI as the debug screen? Very interesting.That is from the debug tools, it's not a game feature.Cheers!Capt'n SkunkyKSP Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroPelican Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yes but I was not aware that that particular tool is in the game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyro Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wish I could have that, would be very useful, but I'm not the best programmer yet, and there are no spots on the game team, so it'll have to wait months, maybe years, but anyways, that green planet looks pretty precarious, maybe be able to send a data probe into it, that way you could research what the atmospheric density is, it's temperature, etc. I think it would be pretty cool, but it's up to the dev team anyways.

OtherDalfite Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yes but I was not aware that that particular tool is in the game now.There are 2 versions of KSP as far as I know. 1 being the standard, everyday version me and you and most of the other people on the forum use. The 2nd being a dev version only of the game, allowing devs to add and test different features of the game. That's why they have the text displaying there velocity and body of influence. This version of KSP is not available and probably will never be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newt0570 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 use "what-the"'s version.it looks like a lander in front of some kind of bubble structure...I think i can make out three kerbals on the image (one on each side of the bubble, and one on the ladder of the landed craft.)maybe it's not even a bubble... it's spotlights on a munolith-thinguse this link to turn it upside-downhttp://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/268/retouched2.png/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowz0r Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Seems like the brighter part on the left side is a lander, and the darker "bubble structure" is a moonrise behind a cliff.My second guess would be a satellite with solar panels orbiting a planet with a saturn-like asteroid belt.

puppy1305 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 i would love a new planet and new parts that help get to the new planet but IVA's would be cool and docking would be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpox357 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ohhh, thats awesome. I am almost more exited about all the moons than the planets themselves. I just want to ask, in all the images of moons they have been relitivley similar to the mun as far as I can tell. Will there be some more interesting features in the new moons compared to the mun, such as irregular shapes like phobos or lakes and oceans such as on titan? I dont mind for now but It would be awesome in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
