They have discussed it before and their solution clearly isn't KSP 1's "Kerbol is too far from the player, GO TO RED ALERT!!!"

Strange, how did I fly to Pluto in 2016? I don't remember any problems with the game at all. On the scale of the stock system, Pluto is almost another galaxy.

Yes, you don't want to admit interstellar scales in KSP 1 are broken so instead you only go a fraction of the distance so as to not encounter any distance-related bugs.

Although you are correct, KSP1 was never designed for interstellar distances. Inside the Kerbol system, it works quite well, and even a distance much, much farther than that (such as in RSS or several kerbal-scale light years), it works pretty well. Although we don't know much about how far exactly the systems will be from one another, it may be that KSP2 might be able to handle distances just as well as KSP1 can. It certainly makes no difference at the moment.

So I didn't see any problem with it. And no one checked KSP2 at such distances.
