KSP on Touch Screens

[FortyCaliber]

Has anyone played this game using a touch screen?

If so, please state your experience.

Yes, I have, but it degrades the experience. I prefer to play it with a keyboard and joystick.

Can you elaborate? How is the interface... erm... interfaced -i.e. action keys, staging keys, other keys, etc?

Its all the same as on a regular screen. No difference, except if you have good reflexes, you can probably punch the abort button quicker with your hand... but overall no difference.

How does it degrade the experience, then?

But yeah I have a touchscreen monitor hooked into my setup. Not much different. I prefer the mouse and keyboard, but that may just be because I started out playing with the mouse and keyboard. Im sure if I played long enough on the monitor I would begin to prefer that.

You could just play space program. It has missions, and a campaign and a free mode, but you have to unlock everything in campaign first to get it in free mode.

Touchscreens work really well when building in the VAB. I prefer to use my touchscreen when doing that since the alternative is a trackpad and that isn't as accurate.
