Maybe fuel storage that actually has a use? Edited January 5, 2023 by Datau03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lot of people were worried about the 'pre-alpha' text on the texts a month ago. Them being in Beta now is actually a good thing. Shows things are progressing. Now if only we could get some gameplay footage of the beta build with descent frame rates. Also, if anyone's interested, the screenshots were added 10 hours ago: Kerbal Space Program 2 (App 954850) · History · SteamDB Also also, I just want to say I love that we're seeing kitbash stuff like this: ---- Without us knowing their nomenclature/hierarchy/internal timeline anybodys guess is as good as my cats. But yes things are apparently progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalleHeHa Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 things i noticed in features episode 6 new larger landing leg with aero cover and only one wheel type? atmosphere entry marker, handy for low orbits and aerobraking. or its impact marker. burn timer start burn in stop burn in new massive nuclear engines this ship is going 2km/s at 32km altitude, and there is no aero vfx, im pretty sure there should be some bright orange air surrounding the craft. what could this stream of something coming out off the parachute bay be?

The Aziz Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I like how the layout of the (parts of) KSC has been consistent and largely unchanged for the last 4 years since the first showcase. Aside from the fact that it was rotated 180deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) This one made me smile. All is not lost! ... also... not gonna lie. I clicked my mouse to grab the screen to rotate this and see the back side. Wanted to adjust the view and see what the connections looked like for the rail to the rover to see if there were any robotics parts I could identify... (Didn't work, obviously... but I somehow slipped into KSP mode without thinking about it!) Edited January 6, 2023 by JoeSchmuckatelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the parachute tethers/lines paired with some AA/Sun reflection shenanigans, as the top of the capsule is opened aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechBFP Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It’s nice to have some new screens finally. The “pre-alpha”, “alpha”, “beta”, etc tags are completely meaningless. Every single screen could be labeled as pre-alpha right up to release date and the game would be completely the same. It is a PR thing so ignore it.

It is a PR thing so ignore it. Might be. The conventions have meanings, however. Like - there may be an actual Beta going on that we don't know about; folks like Scott Manley and other top streamers, modders and others who are under NDAs but who are also experienced enough with KSP to be contributing to an actual Beta testing period. Mind you, this is pure speculation... but it would make sense if they're labeling things now as "Beta" - which, given the timing (so many, many Pre-Alpha tagged things, then Alpha tags started showing, and now Beta is being displayed.) If this supposition is correct... then we might compress whatever timelines we've made up for how long the EA Roadmap portions might last. I know I've made up and expressed my opinions on this... but if I think that a real Beta is ongoing (that I'm unaware of - but if we suppose it) then we can assume non-studio, non-insider people are play-testing on a variety of PCs and they are finding a lot of the rough patches that otherwise might mar the Early Access experience. Meaning, that EA (Sandbox) might be a lot more polished that I anticipated when they first announced EA. If so, the 'find the bugs during Sandbox' phase could be relatively short. Especially if any of the Beta includes some access to Science - or any other step in the Roadmap - which could make Science playable sooner, and thus Colonies not on some distant horizon. (i.e. the 'What is that thing' thing on top of the rocket) What if that is a Colony / Station part... and it is part of a Beta - even if we don't see it during the EA Sandbox portion, the beta testing of Colony Station parts now basically implies that EA might be kinda quick before a full Release.

The Aziz Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It probably means it's "ready for internal testing". Meaning that all they wanted to have on first public release is in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be just a fairing being test launched. Or something they wanted hidden as a tease. Or it could be a test to see if whatever is in the fairing can actualy be shipped that way.
