The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Or maybe, just maybe, the attachment point size doesn't matter anymore (I'm ready to be proved wrong if there's a footage from the development process) and you could as easily put an Ant engine on that tank. Unisize attachment point, yes, that's a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obney kerman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I mean, you can already put an ant engine on a 3.75m tank. It's just not the best idea for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unisize attachment point, yes, that's a great idea. Not sure what you mean, you could always attach parts with different attachment point sizes, they just wouldn't be flush. I'm guessing 2.5m based on the size of the truss connector we can see at each end of the spherical tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unisize attachment point, yes, that's a great idea. i was thinking the same thing, a "orb" doesn't really fit as "OH MY GOD ITS 23.75M CONFIRMIED!!!!!1" its more of a "fuel tank" with a weird shape that is highly dynamic shape that doesn't confirm to any real size besides saying "orbs are here" and i would say that orb would be "small" if not medium, so perhaps a "semi modular sized fuel tank" could be stating that there is going be more fuel tank "shapes" for unique building instead of it being in a typical ksp building.

whatsEJstandfor Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 We're coming up on being one sidereal month away from launch, and you know what that means! The next time the moon is between Pisces and Cetus, you'll be playing KSP 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Sure you can put everything on everything. But that Ant engine would disappear inside that big green ball of 3.75m attachment marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 So, what do ya'll think we're going to get tomorrow or Monday in the form of a sneak peak? That's assuming they follow the pattern I've noticed of posting something every 2 to 3 days. Airplane flying around KSC - 1/20 Duna Transport - 1/23 Rocket on launchpad - 1/25 Reusable Rocket - 1/27 ??? - 1/29 or 1/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Why not, it's a lightweight tank, and you get rid of excess mass (Mammoth) very quickly after the fuel on the stage is spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightLee Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Its funny, my favorite part of the roadmap ... is that partial block at the end that is not shown. Edited January 28, 2023 by DwightLee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when asked about it, KSP Twitter said we'll just have to wait and see. And tbh, we don't know what else is past that final 7th tab. It could be 20 more tabs past that one. We'll find out in a year or so when the Roadmap gets updated after 1.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I'm glad you brought this picture up Because if one would look at the Interstellar update, there's an Orion engine. Not the Torch drive, not Deadalus, not MH. Orion. I have a feeling that it's when that kind of engines comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Drives are only good for interplanetary trajectories, not interstellar, from what I understand at least. Well, most Orion drives. The Orion Battleship might be suitable for interstellar travel due to it being literally the size of a small state, but they aren't showing the Orion Battleship. They're showing on of the smaller Orion Drives. It would make more sense to give us Orion drives at launch of EA or at least with Colonies with orbital construction.

PlutoISaPlanet Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Question (wasn't sure where to ask). Will my Chromebook (core i5 10th gen) be able to handle ksp 2? I know minimum specs aren't out yet, but just curious what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find an alternative until the game releases on console. Build a pc. If your chromebook has thunderbolt, you can get an external graphics card box. And with Chromebook being android, you'll have to use a Windows VM as the Linux version of KSP 2 (Android is a kernal of Linux IIRC) won't be out until after 1.0. Even then, Steam for Android is still in Beta I believe, so you'll still have to use a VM to get Steam working, I think. And console won't be out for a little bit after 1.0, possibly. 1.0 is about a year or two away, presumably. You'll be waiting a long time, and your chromebook probably won't handle KSP 2 that well without a graphics card. Integrated graphics have always been bad on Intel machines.

obney kerman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 My guess is we get orion right away, along with some other advanced engines more suited to interplanetary than interstellar (more nuclear engines, magnetoplasma rockets, MAYBE some early fusion drives but I doubt it). Interstellar would be when we start getting huge Daedalus-style fusion drives with ISP in the millions and not just tens of thousands. Side note, just realized Orion is the perfect drive system for getting off Tylo. Huge thrust AND efficiency on a moon with high gravity and no atmosphere!

The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 And then what, interstellar update, one of the most anticipated thing since the announcement, comes with one (1) engine, maybe in few sizes? Only because everything else doesn't fit with "interstellar" theme and thus should be available on first release? I said it before, Orion fits with way too useful part of the engine chart. Nertea didn't even mention it in his diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbital Vehicle Assembly aswell there is alot of "theoretical engines" that could be added. but its in the way to useful part.. but its going to have to happen due to its "theoretical" part of what they want to do with ksp 2.

The Aziz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Orbital assembly comes with Colony update, it's right there. Some people theorized that it would be there on day 1 because there was a ship made of few segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
