mcwaffles2003 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is this just a notice out to the community about this happening or were you trying to discuss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vl3d Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) It's info, but feel free to discuss. The team is working on RCS visual effects (with very large mesh puffs). This lets us know how far development has reached. Devs are working on beautification. There's an automatic drag cube renderer. Central stack to which subassemlies attach (parent-child system similar to KSP1?). They are keeping the wobbly part physics based on elastic attachment (because RCS blocks were dragged down but they were still pulling on subassemblies). What else can we take away?

MechBFP Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Don't make a bunch of technical assumptions based on an off the cuff remark. Similar terminology could be used for communication purposes among the team members but the actual technical implementation could be quite different from KSP1. The only thing you can take away is that they auto generate drag cubes like in KSP1 (but the implementation of that could still be wildly different from KSP 1, and they might not even be "cubes" either).

Catto Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Well, the new release date confirmation gives them ABOUT enough time to spit out the rest of the feature videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 And I can't remember specifics but I understand they've altered the way parenting works so you can work on multiple subassemblies simultaneously. If they're still thought of as subassemblies in flight that might have implications for things like stage recovery and component deliveries via supply routes. Or maybe they're just speaking generally and its not relevant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahres Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It'd be fun to get more little tidbits like these. I'd count it as a Show & Tell. Most of our S&T's are really just "show's", some more tell wouldn't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good 7 hours ago, Vl3d said: They are keeping the wobbly part physics based on elastic attachment (because RCS blocks were dragged down but they were still pulling on subassemblies). Implying that a vessel only takes damage if there are wobbly attachments? This is a prime example of a non-sequitur; damage caused by an RCS block hitting the vessel at extreme speeds will happen regardless of how wobbly the attachments are but the assumption is made that it must mean rockets will still be wobbly in KSP 2. 15 minutes ago, Ahres said: It'd be fun to get more little tidbits like these.

But then again, some bad apples will find a way to generate negativity over these tidbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTay Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I'm reading that they were unable to fix the unity particle problem having to do with speed (trail of puffs from KSP1) and decided to go with mesh effects instead. Also reading better aero is a distinct possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
