When ksp2 comes out, what mods will you want to see for it?

[Bej Kerman]

I can't think of anything else KSP 2 needs. KSP 2 is only how I mod KSP 1, without the lag and miles-long list of bugs. I can think of a grand total of one mod (out of 90) I have on KSP 1 that probably won't make it into KSP 2, the Netherdyne Mass Driver mod.

On that topic though, KSP 2 will have some official form of CKAN and creating multiple instances using any version, if it's as modding friendly as it claims to be. If I have to muck around in order to downgrade or create multiple instances, or if I really have to mess around downloading mods manually after fans, in their free time, created such a good solution for managing mods for KSP 1, then it's not modding friendly.

Would you mind posting your mods list Bej? I'm curios.

Mostly things to make the game feel less dull and barebones, and dependencies. I suspect my mod list will be in the single digits for KSP 2 as the new dev team will be focused on adding features to an already much more complete game instead of wasting most of their time revamping part textures to be worse (both the pre-0.17 and post-0.18 textures were fine and not nearly as samey and generic as the Take Two era textures) and implementing mods but tackier (seriously, it's not much easier to fine tune maneuvers than it was before - mods did this much better and didn't close themselves if you dare mouse over anything but the maneuver node).

That's enough whining from me. I just look forward to having a game that's held together by struts instead of glue

I would like to see 2 parts, well, 1 part and 1 set of parts from a mod added to KSP 2. The Ikerus Mk 1 Solar Shield and the Ikerus Mk 2 solar panel parts. I really like the movie Sunshine where they restart the sun, and love the design of the Icarus.

Personally I'm looking to see if @JonnyOThan will make a VR mod for KSP2 ala KerbalVR, as well as a revival  Stand Alone Map View. It's going to be 2023 and there should be absolutely no reason to not have a 2nd or 3rd monitor dedicated to just the map with telemetry built in. Stand Alone Map View was ahead of it's time and it needs to shine! Unless -  the devs want to you add in multimonitor support?? @Nate Simpson

i want to see what kinda stuff could be done for bd armory with the new interstellar tech

RSS RO RP1 for KSP2 stat! Also all my editor mods like precise editor editor extensions etc. I would also like to see procedural wings that can do custom cord shape and curved/ sloped edges.

[nightbeast]

A couple things I really want to see

1. I really want better space plane support.  Papi lights at the runways, localizer and glide slope support, 10,000 times better aero physics, better re-entry targeting (so you can line up on speed / altitude / direction), things like that.

 

2. Passive science gathering (like in RP1) or automatic science gathering.  Running 10 science experiments 30 times as I go from biome to biome and flying low to high in space is not what I consider fun.  Let me build my crafts and fly them where I want to go, and don't make me miss out on science because I forgot to click one of the 15 science gadgets bolted on the side of my craft.

[darthgently]

Totally off the wall, but I think the devs should seriously consider a pure STEM education oriented version of KSP targeted for sale to school districts and home school clusters.  It could be the new "Oregon Trail" of space, physics, science, exploration education software.  They should offer prizes to science teachers for lesson plans and curriculum centered on KSP

I wish this too but THAT will take time...
