Well those two players aren't in physics range clearly... so time warp doesn't matter. and they're not exactly playing together so re-sync is going to matter. As has been discussed a million times before, there are games with solutions to this, like Stellaris, and there are a few other options that can be used to - especially as multiplayer is likely to be between friends who are actually going to play *together* as opposed to simply playing in the same solar system.

The only roadblock will be bundling your own data. It's not like you can casually bumble into another players zone in KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishe1 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 To all those who believe MP will become a PVP whine fest for never satisfied 9 year old COD players. Take. A. Chill Pill. Your complaints are the ones filling up this thread. I cannot wait to play KSP and build space stations and moonbases with my friends. I hope MP is done as simple as possible. Dedicated and private Servers. Warping will need hosts permission otherwise disabled entirely. It sucks but that is the best solution that I believe to be feasible. Dedicated public servers for those who want a fun, and yes, chaotic quick experience. Here you may meet like minded people or already have KSP friends to jump into private password protected servers for more “hardcore” gameplay. I cannot wait!

Fish I think we all need to take a few steps back and go back to the basics. i for one would love to see this implemented so i can fly around with friends and have fun. sure chaos may ensue and summoning of a black hole or some other random apocalypse may occur, but were all here to challenge ourselfs to see if we can push these spaceplanes, ufo's, and other contraptions beyond their breaking point and or voiding their warranties.

deathrider Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Hello, I'm new player just starting playing and modding KSP. Previously I have played quite a loot in Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. Recently I started to experimenting with extended cockpits modes (not using main map/view) and I think this is the area where Multiplayer also would be great. For example landing on some moons/atmospheric planets: 1. One player controls main engine and thrusters for descent -> in case of atmospheric/above 1G planets it might be quite challenging 2. Second player is watching and plotting orbital trajectory, constantly updating first player about necessary maneuvers 3. Third player is monitoring descent and checking terrain for landing. 4. Other players: engines/power plant monitoring and real time tuning (after all: we are talking about interplanetary voyages), collecting and analyzing science samples and so. In such scenario there should be no issue about time wrap: captain of the ship decides when to use this feature. This kind of multiplayer is basically: one player = one Kerbin, using mostly first person (or First Kerbin ) perspective in cooperation Edited February 14, 2020 by deathrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBitMore Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I don't know what manner in which you guys are discussing how mods will work, but I'm thinking my ideal method of handling mods in servers (depending on how KSP2 modding works in single player) is that only a certain amount of mods are allowed by each server. All are required for accurate multiplayer. I hope CKAN or something similar is built in to KSP2 for automatic server modlist matching.

Have your computer automatically temporarily download the required mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the multiplayer mod for KSP1 handle that? You're stuck in 2012! Voting is a bad idea, just terrible. Everyone votes 100,000x warp and your lander warps through the Mun and slams into the Sun. Haven't you heard of the countless KSP 1 multiplayer mods that use better systems?

Not to mention someone could create lots of accounts to force the server into ridiculous timewarps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
