It's the tiny things...

[AtomicTech]

I'm aware that many of us are still really frustrated with the state of the game.

I wanted to do something different in the style of our forums games; something that would lift everyone's spirits and increase the hope and hype we need

All you've gotta do is share something that you appreciate about the game!

So, here are the rules:

1.) Posts must be one sentence. Yes, you can use compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

2.) Don't make this thread another complain-fest; there are plenty of other ones.

3.) Don't worry about repeating content! This is a place to give praise!

Without further ado.....

I really like all of the blips, bleeps, beeps, bops, blops, boops, bloops in the UI; it makes the game feel alive!

I like the trailers and the promise.
(and a lot of other stuff from the game)

I love the way Kerbin's crinkly terrain looks from space, the blue sunsets on Duna, the golden sunrises on Kerbin, the way planes fly, the roar of the rocket on blast-off, the music and the way it shifts, the way parts click together positively in the VAB, the trade-offs I have to make when deciding whether to use hydrogen and nuclear engines or plain old methalox for interplanetary transfer stages; I like how orbits stay smooth when I zoom in and out; I like how quick the transitions are between the VAB, tracking station, KSC, and vehicle views, I love the way I can paint the craft to make them pretty, I love being able to warp to a burn and see a countdown for it, and the way the burn planner takes burn time into account, I love the delicate trusses and crinkly golden foil on the hydrogen tanks, and I'm just generally having a great time!

[Kerbart]

I like how you don't have to go through four menus to exit the game.

[LoSBoL]

I love how you can change the perspective in the map view by dragging your mouse with the middle mouse button pressed.

[JustinTimeCuber]

I like the graphics and sound design and the fact that 0.1.5 is like, mostly playable (great progress over 0.1.0)

[Gargamel]

Thread restored, if I missed any, report it please.

[Superfluous J]

I like that I now own the game so can see this stuff for myself.

[whatsEJstandfor]

I love the aesthetic; the music, the retro and compact UI, and ATMOSPHERIC SCATTERINGGGG 

[TwoCalories]

I love the new Kerbals! The devs were very successful in making them feel so much more alive. They have cute facial expressions, new haircuts, and they blink now!

[cocoscacao]

Mun, Duna and Minmus music themes always give me goosebumps and an impossible smile from ear to ear. 

[Heretic391]

I like the games potential, once the roadmap is complete it should be amazing. 

[Dakitess]

I love soooooo much the original trailer and the global sound design of the actual game.

[Alpha_star]

I love the terrain. It’s more realistic than anything I have ever seen in KSP1.

[Superfluous J]

Finally got a chance to play more.

I like:

• The warning that your solar panels aren't getting sunlight.
• The (albeit limited) ability to time warp more under thrust than before.
• The single type of time warp so you don't have to slow down to regular speed to speed up in "physics warp"

More to come!

[Bej Kerman]

I love that the development of the game is going to be more linear than it was with KSP 1 - things like multiplayer and thrust-in-warp aren't being put on a backburner for the sake of spontaneous ideas and ad-lib, and the developers for this one aren't implicitly planning on relying on the work of modders for a complete experience. However bad things get, I can at least say they've not waited till interstellar before establishing something as (relatively-) simple as an art direction.

[DoomsdayDuck555]

I like the increase in communication recently from both the CM's and from Nate (event last week and Matt Lowne's interview)

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

I like the first sunrise I saw over Minmus - a good memory from when I last played so many months ago. 

[Dakota]

I appreciate all of you.

[TwoCalories]

I love the sound design! The roar of the engines turning to a low muffle as you get to space, the Kerbonaut pilot announcing excitedly when you change SOIs, and the music really hits the feels!

[KUAR]

I can' believe we ever used to build wings from multiple fixed panels and it's revolutionary* (now one of the wings doesn't think it needs to be upside-down in the VAB).

*no pun intended

[Superluminal Gremlin]

I appreciate the increases in FPS

May it continue and bring prosperity to KSP 2

[AtomicTech]

Woo hoo!

The thread is back!!

Thanks @Gargamel!

I love the procedural wings!

[RealKerbal3x]

I appreciate that as the game improves, the discourse on this section of the forum is moving away from angry flamewars back to constructive criticism and calmer discussion. I long considered this forum one of the nicest and most welcoming places on the internet and I hope it can stay that way.

The visual and performance upgrades in 0.1.5 are also very much appreciated

I like ticker-tapes.
