Kerbal Idea

[Hi there]

What if you could go to a planet and there were enemies you had to fight off as you collected samples or drove around?

That's been confirmed never to be implemented.

Welcome to the forums!

I don't think those ideas are likely to become part of the game, since they go against the developers' intent. Weaponry and aliens are both items on the What Not To Suggest list, as both have been extensively discussed in the past, and the developers have stated that they do not plan to include them in the final game. In addition to that thread, I'd highly recommend that you read the Forum Rules and the Good Conduct Guide, so you have an idea of what is and is not considered appropriate for discussions.

Aside from that, however, feel free to ask any questions you may have about playing the game, or sharing stories of your experiences, or even just posting screenshots of your favorite designs -- all in the appropriate places, of course

Hope this helps!

If you want to shoot something, there are plenty of shooting games out there. I find KSP refreshing because it's about construction not destruction (save the odd crash!)

Otherwise, there are numerous alien type games out there. The latest Aliens VS Predator comes to mind.

KSP is simply a simulator for learning space exploration in a entertaining way. It fills a need for a sim that is not there in other space related sims or games. Most of its users and all of the programmers would like it to stay that way.
