Yes exactly, the answer is there in my text as well. I was replying to Avera9eJoe who said we had not heard anything about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: We don't want to confuse players who are used to flying in KSP 1, so it'll have a very similar aero model. Ah, ya got me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially enjoyed his short lecture, when we were standing around looking at the Apollo 11 command capsule (!!!), about the finer details of poo management that Neil Armstrong & co. had to go through. Highly diverting. I could go into details if you're curious, but the executive summary is "gosh, I'm really glad I wasn't an astronaut in the Apollo program" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexillar Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Lots of great questions and lots of great answers! Thanks @Snark for taking the time to compile and ask what we all came up with, and thanks to Nate for giving these insights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: We want KSP to be available to as many players as possible at launch, but can't say more specifically than that right now. If i read correct between the lines Linux and Mac support are plane. edit: i found a forum bug Edited August 31, 2019 by www2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsii1970 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Okay, I've pruned a few posts from this thread which did not directly relate to the OP. The focus is what was said about the upcoming KSP2 and all the goodies @Snark was able to discover for us. Please keep the conversation along those lines. (And no, no one's in trouble...)

A: There are echoes of Constellation. We use this stuff as our reference materials, so there's a lot of "inspired by" stuff. @Majorjim!, @septemberWaves I figured you two might find this quote particularly interesting since you both have done a lot of Constellation-inspired stuff.

Far more you can not only accelerate during warp, you can do other stuff during long burns. Refereed to burning to turnover, yes its cool but makes no sense from an dV point of view as at some point adding more fuel makes you accelerate slower early on who count far more than some extra speed during 1/10 of the travel distance. Still months long burns is an thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover 6428 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Will there actually be a "need" for the centrifuge habitats that we were shown in the trailer? Or is the whole thing just cosmetic and kerbals don't need gravity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Laythe and Kerbin they're an option but by far not the most efficient one, a big SSTO rocket is more efficient and it's easier to fly, I really hope they keep plane part in mind when designing new worlds.
