NannerManCan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Darn I was just making one then went back and saw you made one lol.On Topic- I can't wait to go to all these new planets and moons. I want to try to get to Gilly and see how far a kerbal jump goes. Also scenarios should be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProdigy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 ...PARTY!! WOOP WOOP!!Anyway, im really curious if their gonna make it so that stuff like parachutes work well in jools atmoshere (I dont see why not obvious;y) and if it will be able to deploy before we get smushed...thats the first thing im gonna try actually...

rhn94 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 i really hope they fix the jittering of the craft while the Adv SAS is active .. it's 1) annoying to watch2) Makes things fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get around to making a good one later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randox Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Been thinking about something. I can't remember how the comm stat mod works, but assuming you can use a ship a the control point (maybe the mod can be modified for this in light of distant planets and the need for a more nearby control source), it would be neat to send a ship that could seed a planet and its moons with rovers. Since it will not really be practical to try and bring the kerbals home, having them stay in orbit and sending down remote rovers would be the next best thing. Of course, a ship like this would probably need to be built in orbit since multiple rovers would make for a lot of dead weight to handle, so it wont become practical until we get orbital construction as well in all likely hood.

sal_vager Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you just start a new thread every time it gets locked what is the point of locking it?It allows for a clean slate, plus, I find this interesting:* Multiple Player Saves: You can now have multiple ongoing game sessions, as each save is kept in its own folder (instead of all using the saves/default one).Assigned to: HarvesteRStatus: CompleteAnd this:* Ships saved by one player are private to that player. Ships on the KSP/Ships folders are common to all players and non-overwritable (from inside the game)So it looks like we'll be able to have one copy of KSP, and maybe let friends and family have their own profile, that'll be cool.

They'll get around to making a good one later on.I hope they don't wait till like beta. That should definitely be their main focus of the 0.18 update. It really breaks the whole game and i kind of need it for interplanetary for big ships since docking won't exist until beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientAstronaut Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm very excited for the scenario saving. Very much like Orbiter and really cool. I will have a TON of scenarios made, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot Knight Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Cool, but without an career-mode needless. It's actually quite useful even without a campaign.I'm certain people with a shared computer wouldn't want their orbiting craft moved around with someone else's flights, they can do that on a second set of saves.

nhnifong Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I decided to quit getting all bent out of shape waiting for this update and go read Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The WorldBut really, I just want to land on one of those planets as soon as I possibly can.

The thick atmosphere would give lots of drag, but maybe also loads more lift, so this will be fun to find out (although not for the pilots obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKDan89 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Will we be able to see planets passing over the night sky? I posted a Venus picture in the off topic section this morning and was wondering if you could do the same with, for example, Eve. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/20285-Venus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexL Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I doubt they'd move fast enough for you to see them move, but I'm sure something will be added for you to see at range, sort of like minimus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKDan89 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Sorry I didn't mean passing as in moving fast just in the process of passing, although you would see them move if you sped up the time. I think it will be awesome if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrowstar Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 ...since docking won't exist until beta.Now where did you get this idea? I doubt anyone but the devs really knows when anything is going to be added. Heck, I doubt they even know everything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opticalshadow Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 i want a planet with a ring! also with the space kraken dead, i would love an easter egg to remember it by, something that in years downt he raod when noone remembers it, theres still a sign. maybe a star constalation, or perhaps some sort of planet out there we can land on, and similure to the monoliths, there be some sort of shrine to it. idk, but it seemed to become a pretty big part of the community, and id hate to see an era of developement lost in time.

swiftgates24 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) My first interest is the IVAs or Scenarios. It will help a lot and the IVAs will just be plain fun to look around the cockpit and get a kerman's eye view on the situation, and see what they see just before they...explode...Off-Topic: Oh no!!! 666 views...the kerman god has just announced anything with . 1 and 7 in the name are not in existence anymore Edited September 14, 2012 by swiftgates24 Kermans taste like rainbows.
