Playing KSP on my school laptop.

Ugh. I was so optimistic and now I'm just bitterly disappointed. Did not buy it, removed it from the wishlist and have been deliberately ignoring that it ever happened.

Yeah, the development path was absolutely flipped, with them working on “stuff we want to add to KSP” instead of rebuilding KSP and getting a solid framework.

I'm sorta on the same boat as you. I was really excited for KSP2 and also was really disappointed on launch day, so I had to refund it. I'm just hanging on an infinitely tiny sliver of hope that KSP2 will become playable and amazing in the future, but in the meantime, I'll stick to modded KSP1.

That was an idea I had, playing on older versions. I believe there is a forum post that has download links to them. I'll look into it. 

Yes, here it is. I don't see links for 1.7 or 1.8. Does anyone know where I could find it? 

 

Update on my quest to play KSP on my school laptop! I did it! I played KSP 0.13.3 and landed on the Mun! (Though it does stretch the definition of landing) I would share screenshots but my school blocked websites that would allow me to do this... But the game runs shockingly well! It only runs bad when I have 157 struts because no autostrut. Images (hopefully) coming soon!

Hi there, it's been a really long while. I'm still in school of course but I'll be out after next year. I forgot I ever even made an account on here lol.
I want to talk about a few things about KSP in general and about the KSP in school stuff because it seemed like other people were inspired by what I did.

KSP 2's launch.. threw me off really bad, super super bad like I don't even want to play any of the games anymore bad. At the time I wrote this thread, it would've even been several years since I started playing KSP at all.
Now, it is 2024. It's been almost a decade since I've started playing the game, I'm glad it's been a wonderful part of my life and it made me interested in technology, astronomy and even more fields that I thought I would never invest time in.

I should probably talk about the whole "games in school" thing at all, first off: they know.
Your school's IT department (if competent enough) usually has systems that go off if they have it configured right. Last week as soon as we got back into school, some student tried installing games onto the network; unfortunately, it was malware. He got out of school suspension immediately and had all of his technology access taken away. Usually, when you sign in you agree to a contract called the "Access Usage Policy" stating that you agree to their rules and bla bla bla.

Second off, I don't recommend playing games in school, I know that sounds really lame but for any student who ever or will check this thread in the future, don't.
You'll get easily distracted and fall down a slope where work piles on because you're too busy goofing off. That's what happened to me and I crawled out of it lol.
Study hall is fine, I wouldn't care but just be really really careful of what games you install and when you play it.

I forgot if I ever said this in the thread but, the FABLED laptop is dead and forever will be. (Taken away by administration because it was "due for replacement").

TL;DR
not a good idea to play ksp in school but you can if you really want to
