OverTheHill Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So there is this website called LEGO Cuusoo, where people can submit their ideas and then if they get enough support from other members (10,000) then the project is put into a review by LEGO with several other projects that have reached 10,000 supports, and if LEGO feel that the project has great potential they will make it into a real LEGO set! I took a shot at making a Kerbal themed LEGO project. I'm still working on the project so it'll be continuously updated but I'd love for anyone on this forum, Kerbal or LEGO fans, to head over and quickly make an account and click the big green support button!It'd mean a great deal to me if you guys helped me get the project to 10,000, feel free to leave a comment here or on the project's comment section if you want me to add something to the project or anything like that.Thank you so much for your time! -OverTheHill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenWolf Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Let me get this straight. Kerbal Space Program is a game about building rockets out of a set of standard parts. LEGO is a set of standard blocks used to build things. Basically you want to make a lego set, for a game that is very much digital lego.What exactly is the point?

OverTheHill Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Exactly! For those that don't have a computer, those that like the idea of KPS that they can hold in their hands, or whenever you're not on your computer but still want to play with KPS stuff!

sumghai Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ah yes, LEGO CUUSOO.I myself (under the userhandle GreenLead) was one of the three people involved in the Space Troopers project, that reached the required 10k support for review. It's always nice to see another unique and educational CUUSOO project that gets kids interested in science, engineering and spaceflight*.*Wait, who am I kidding? Of course the only reason I supported it was because it was KSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 No, no offence to Squad or KSP, but Lego has been ruined by marketing crap, it doesn't need any more fluff When I grew up you made things from Lego, these days (and we are excluding technics and mindstorms here) you get what? a star wars lego set? a harry potter set? a dinosaur set? a pirates of the carribean set? a munsters set? the list goes on.. and the sad part is they are not really making them go together anymore, both in colour palettes of the plastic prints and the shape of the pieces. Trust me, I know. I've been trying to buy good lego for my kids and it's getting harder to find just normal lego, the City kits are not bad at least the parts are fairly universal.Lego should be about making something out of the blocks you have - not pre-moulding all the bits into convenient pre-determined items.

Tw1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Lego should be about making something out of the blocks you have - not pre-moulding all the bits into convenient pre-determined items.Agreed. When I use Lego from time to time, if it's not old stuff, I tend to make Frankenstein's monster of things. As for this project, sure, why not. I'm sure mixing Star Wars parts and kerbal parts would make some interesting results. But their heads look a little short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Im sure you could work on the design a little bit more. While it sounds interesting i dont think this is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWeegee4000 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Really the problem with LEGO is that its sets are depressingly overpriced. I get the feeling they judge pricing by the size of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
