This is the page of TVtropes for KSP. Worth a look to see what tropes this game has, and how many many tropes it's averted.

I should note while I'm here that I also maintain that page a little, so if you're going to add something, make sure it actually fits.

This page seems to have been written mostly by Orbiter fans. Describing KSP as "like Orbiter but more casual" almost.

That was actually written by me and I've never played Orbiter. So there.

Tvtropes links should come with an mandatory warning like cigarette packs.

You are likely to spend way to much time where.

And mostly good stuff, and yes stuff explodes if impacting in high enough speed.

"A very minor example, but one selection of music for when a ship leaves the atmosphere and enters space is unmistakably whale song. "

What?

What?

I've done a bit of work on that page as well, mostly updating it around 0.17 to no longer claim that the game had "a tiny number of stock parts".

This. As awesome as the site is, it has lured me in for so much time.

Love the page though. It's really fun to match all the tropes

I could single-handedly supply the "Awesome, but impractical" section with pictures for a thousand years.

Yes, yes you could.

So... Who wants to start a TV Tropes page for "It's Hardly Rocket Science"?

[Whackjob]

Whoever is doing that tropes page, you have my permission to use any of my imgur photos if you would like to.

You know, with "Awesome, but impractical" in mind.

The game's fandom (at least on the official forums) rejoiced on at least two occasions due to mentions from people who work in space science. The first was when Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted that he thought the game looked fun and would probably spend "far too much time" playing it if there was a Mac version.

We had Mac version, come and join us Sir ^^.

Curses be upon you! I just came on to check the forums quick then I was going to build a mun base... I could have built 3 in the time I spent on TV tropes.

This could probably either be used for the "Awesome but Impractical" or "MOAR BOOSTERS!" Warning, old, old, old picture.

A challenger appears! As a result, I am now working on:

Because efficiency and reason can be boring.

#EDIT:

Holy carp! I managed to take off and clear the absurdly huge tower it took to hold it up! I might be way early on this, but I think I can reach space. Maybe.

This thing is about two times the height of the internal space of the VAB. As a result, I have no idea how many orange tanks high it is. Not a clue.

There are some absurd examples on that page that really need to be removed (like "Artistic License - Nuclear Physics").

[Specialist290]

EDIT: Nevermind, the comment wasn't really warranted.
