Plus lots more, some confirmed, some not yet confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike52656 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You guys do know 0.17 is going to be a winter release, right?Where did you get this info exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygun Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'll be sad when the new release comes out.Because its bound to trash all our precious hard work in geting a 75 ton munbase craft landed on the mun in one piece instead of the 47 pieces it usually lands in, that is if you can get the damned thing off the ground in the first place without getting a score card of 9.9, 9.9, 9.8, 9.9, 9.9, 9.7 and 9.9 from the crowd of kerbals rating the explosion.BorisSo many launches... so little success..I feel a bit like this too. I don't have any real big bases, but I modded the hell out of 0.16 and it took quite a lot of time to get it all to work right.But I really want those planets.

togfox Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've stopped doing missions of real significance as I expect I'll have to wipe my persistence file soon.I have been focussing on designing craft that are space worthy - not actually flying them. The designs/mods will persist across versions (accounting for rebalancing of parts) so that's what I'm focusing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBeer Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The anticipation for .17 is getting to me a little bit. I have some pretty lofty new goals to aim for, but I can't try for any of them yet. Ah well. I can still practice orbital stuff with the Mun and have a good time doing it.

karolus10 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You, always can train yourself to flight manually with greater accuracy, also you can spend own time for learn some basics about orbital mechanics, so you improving yourself and could find out how to get to other planets without shooting blind (getting to other planets will be much harder, but greater challenge) .

bsalis Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm actually happy with 0.16Not fussed about waiting for 0.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Every time I come to the forums it feel like I'm unwrapping a present only to find the box empty.I know one day I'm gonna come and unwrap the update though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly I've been perfecting my rendezvous skills since that's going to critical for an interplanetary mission. Plus I've been trying to complete them using math instead of charts the only issue is getting the right angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal Nauts Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I heard winter/spring 2013 for the release of 0.17 ;-) but still there is so much to do in 16 while waiting :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKDan89 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I literally check the forum for 0.17 every hour I'm awake for, even at work! I wake up at 09:00am and go to sleep at 04:00am and I am constantly watching... waiting... obsessing... I need this update! :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that difficult, but it'll be a helpful thing to know when trying to escape to other planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atimed Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Most of us want 0.17, but lets face it when 0.17 comes out we will want 0.18.. Or is it just me..Well i did my training for interplanetary travel..1st wave probes are developed.. their mission to give feedback on planetary data.. Dune,Eve, then the big green one..Managed to do some excel sheet that helps me with the Math like..Gravity of body.. Radius, Mass, SOI, Orbital speed, Boundary and posibly Optimal Breaking path...I'm most excited about finding out all i can from the planet.. and later after iv done all i possibly could.. Compare stats to the Wiki.. Se how well i did and then go to another planet...Yes other features are great to, especially flying in IVA only.. But the Exploration and Math is the highlight for me..

Kerbal Nauts Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Rumor I heard that there is a secret UFO base on one of the planets. Apparently planning an attack on the home planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy teh space man Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 True when 0.18 comes out we will all be waiting for it.. but.. that said with 0.17 adding all those extra planets theres going to be so much more to do in this game..Thats why I think this'll be one of the most significant updates they'll have made to the game so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martonaut Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I agree, when 0.17 is out we will wait for 0.18 , the thing is that 0.17 will have so much to do that the waiting will be a little more easy, I mean when 0.18 is out i probably havent finish "exploring" all the kerbol system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy teh space man Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I doubt every player will have landed on all the planets and moons within 24 hours of 0.17 coming out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atimed Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) -We will have landings on all planets/moons in the 24 hours the update is released..I doubt every player will have landed on all the planets and moons within 24 hours of 0.17 coming out..I stated that some players will land in the 1st 24 hrs.. Not that all players will land...Its safe to assume that most of us will visit one, if not more of the new planets.. ie, achieve stable orbit around the planet..

TheProdigy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 -That's relay a pessimistic opinion..-We will have landings on all planets/moons in the 24 hours the update is released..I strongly disagree. A lot if us have lives, including me. Unfortunately.Edit: phrase your sentences better to avoid misunderstandings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
