Your not gonna wast any money. Alot of things to do in the game. Campaign missions and custom ones.There is also alot of addons/tweaks to fine tune the game for you. Probably more then a year untill KSP2 comes out. Happy space sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klapaucius Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm definitely for buying KSP 1 now. There is no indication of when in 2020 KSP will be available. While the interface looks to be a bit different, all the principles you learn about orbital mechanics will apply. In short, if you have KSP 1 now, you will hit the ground running when KSP2 comes out. Also, I think KSP1 will have a lot of life in it for some time to come. The Breaking Ground DLC alone will keep me interested for the foreseeable future, and there is no indication that will be offered in KSP2 anytime soon. While less popular with many in the community, I am a big fan of the Making History DLC as well--not really for the mission building aspect per se, but because it allows you to easily hyperedit to various locations around the solar system, both in space and on the ground. For someone who has limited time, it allowed me to experiment with different environments, different gravity etc, without always having to mount a full mission. It is a really nice option to have. The downside is the complete KSP with both DLCs is about $60 total. I do believe that is worth it (I spent more than that to go skiing for one day) but everyone's finances are different. One option to consider is asking for a Christmas promise, and then when it goes on sale, pick it up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the only reason I have any affection for the soundtrack is its queuing on significant events like reaching space 51 minutes ago, shdwlrd said: Halo series Yes, just that orchestra embodies the epicness of the adventure... the Gregorian chants.... Btw, Red Alert 2 had one of the best soundtracks ever imo and the witcher had an amazing soundtrack too Edited December 16, 2019 by mcwaffles2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like that with KSP, but the music selected isn't good for repeated loops. Play KSP for the game play... not the music.

The music that plays when you first load the game is awesome. All the rest is... well frankly I don't remember it because I've had it off for so long.

strudo76 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Use this site https://gg.deals/game/kerbal-space-program/ and keep an eye on the best available price. Better yet, join the site and set an alert to notify you of a sale when it hits a price you're happy to pay. Joining is free. (I'm in now way associated with this site by the way). EDIT: Just a note, you don't buy through this site, you just find out which online stores a selling at what price. If you want it specifically through Steam, make sure you select the Steam option in the DRM Edited January 4, 2020 by strudo76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
