Ember12 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Kerbals are already immortal (at least they don't die of old age) and I don't think they'll add a kerbal aging mechanic.

Pthigrivi Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Biggest one for me is a meaningful approach to life support. Its so important in real life space exploration and colonization and I hope it gets its due, however it’s accomplished. Next would be better mapping tools that are produced scansat style and show up as overlays that you could toggle through in map and flight mode.

THE_JUDGE Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I know its been said but seriously rover physics needs to be improved. Carefully driving a rover 20 km on the Mun only for me to make a slight turn to the left causing the rover to be catupulted into the air vacuum and break is one of the most frustrating parts of ksp for me.

Expand Oh believe me, I know. There's so much potential for Baja / ramp jump type activities.. but the buggy always explodes when hitting a terrain lip. I feel we need more non-explosive damage to craft that do not hold fuel. Edited April 17, 2022 by Vl3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vl3d Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) 1. I've mentioned it in the list, but we really need a better way to interact with parts that are clipped inside other larger parts. It's so frustrating to have to zoom inside and find the right angle in normal view so that I can right click a part (on a small probe core inside a tank, for example). 2. Total volume of hollow parts clipped together should be calculated using the formula: vA clipped with vB = vA + vB - (vA intersected with vB) 3. A similar approach to calculate hollow structure mass. Meaning that if X is a hollow parts or part with living space, the total mass should depends on the exterior walls, not on the part walls that are now inside (and in practice would not exist anymore). mX clipped with mY = mX + mY - (mX and mY mass of walls that are now inside the structure) 4. We desperately need a way to group merge fuel tanks together so they become a single tank. Also applies to hollow parts with living space that are clipped together.

Vl3d Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) I can't prescribe solutions, just stating problems and wishes. It might be possible that something we think we want is actually solved diagonally, by changing paradigm or by addressing a more fundamental desire.

Xtra Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I know it's too late but... Better Thermal control. Parts that are inside other parts or behind other parts should not have drag effects placed on them. I try to fly from KSC to the mountains just north of it and parts are overheating like crazy and I'm going less than 300 m/s. Radiators fixed and deployable should (when connected to a Coolant Tank) cool ALL PARTS. Large Radiators should offer a larger payoff/cooling effect.

Expand Coolant tanks are not part of stock KSP 1. My guess is you have some of Nertea's mods installed with heat control loops and from what I gather you really need to read the docs and design your heat loops very carefully much like in real life. At the speed you are going, just below transsonic, you are likely running near max Q all the time as for aerodynamic heating, but other than that, don't know. Again, there are forums for general support: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/forum/70-technical-support-pc-modded-installs/ And if you figure out which mod your heat model and coolant tank parts are from there is almost certainly a forum specifically for that mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
