Info Gathering Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm hoping this thread may be used as a repository for anyone trying to find any news on KSP whether it be:

  • News
  • Interviews
  • Gameplay
  • Individual snippets from videos
  • Any direct contact with Star.Theory 
  • That sort of thing

So if it would be okay with everyone, please only add content that is one of these, maybe include a short description of the content you have provided. Also, please caption and spoiler video/large picture links as to make the thread more easy to navigate.

Please discuss theories about the content that is here in other threads as discussion about content would dilute the information in the thread. Hopefully as time goes on and more people come here asking about what is known they will have a good resource to answer their questions :)

(Also, if you like the idea of this thread please drop a like as it's the only way to show it other than scavenging new data)
