Our .23 Wish List for Santa

[matts73]

I'd love to see Enhanced IVAs; you could then have your kerbals move around inside and do more then just sit in their seats.

Yeap, and a possibility to move experiments and data from one capsule to another e.g. landingmodule to comandmodule.

A little bit more logical techtree would also be fine.

And maybe but only maybe don´t think that the devs will bring it so soon, lifesupport, economic and the rest

Maybe an Eeloo-ish gift, just like last winter?

Really, 0.23 as it is would be an amazing christmas present from Squad. Tweakables will be a Godsend for us long-time users.

I would like to see folder organization for subassemblies and saved craft files.

What are tweakables?

[Javster]

Ok... IVA for ALL cockpits/pods, IVA interactions, like walking around, sample pickup animations.

[Jodo42]

What are tweakables?

You can specify how much of what goes in what tank. For example, instead of filling up an Orange Tank with liquid fuel and oxidizer, you could fill it with just liquid fuel. Or have less oxidizer and more fuel.

[Galacticruler]

I personally think this belongs in the Suggestions forum, not General KSP.

I honestly want more NERVA models, like adding in the original part from KSP-X, the LV-Nb 2.5m nerva.

the original NERVA came from NovaPunch's pack, not KSP-X.

it was also 2.5m though.

[Brapness]

If I was making a wish

1st person EVAs would be awesome!!

[John FX]

More probe parts. Procedural fairings, procedural tanks, procedural wings.

That would do for now.

Oh one more thing. Ability to put a PNG on the side of a craft.

[Moonfrog]

More solid booster options. Maybe bigger ones.

[SkyHook]

Resources.

Aerodynamics.

Resources.

Life Support.

[BigOto2]

Make it so that an SAS has the option to only stabilize roll, while still giving full pitch/yaw control to the user, to prevent excessive uncontrollable roll during ascent that is really hard to control at the same time as controlling pitch and yaw.

[Keithz15]

I'd really like to see more stuff to do while EVA. Im thinking more stuff to repair or to run more experiments. I just want .23 i always get so excited for updates!!

[bigbadben]

Different resources, that you can gather, and use or return to kerbin to sell for profit. Commodity exchange modules that you can add to different bases on different planets that can act as a merchant hub to buy/sell different resources. Ability to use this game mechanic in kmp mod.

[soranno]

All I want for christmas.. is the magic boulder back

Come home magic boulder come home!

[thrashing mad]

Weather/Fog/Atmosphere/Re-entry effects/mechanics, OR proper sounds (while driving rover, depending on surface, wind, different sounds for different engines, metal crackling under big G-forces, etc.), OR economy mechanics/budget constrains introduced to career mode.

[Dogface]

"tiny" radius science sensor part.

[GraviTykillz]

chatter mod and kerbal paint should be incorprated!

[Jeb Cubed]

I would like a cargo bays but those won't happen anytime soon.

[Fox Arcana]

- Generally space station parts

- Cargo bays

- Enhanced IVAs: like, more interactive and stuff

- Better Aerodynamics

- Bigger antennae

- Better looks for planes and rockets

[CalculusWarrior]

I would love to see an overhaul of the plane parts; perhaps Artyom can work his Christmas magic and incorporate/emulate his B9 pack?

[astropapi1]

On a more realistic point of view, I'd like the following:

-Changing the staging 'numbers', so the first stage is 1 and the second 2...

-Fixing the music that was broken in 0.22. Transitions sound ugly now.

-A couple of tweaks to parts like the Ant engine. They look kinda primitive compared to the new ones.

-A better arrangement for the tech tree. Make the current one an optional 'tutorial' career mode for newbies.

-Stronger landing legs. The new ones are weak as hell.

-Lowering the deployment altitude for parachutes. Nobody wants deployed chutes on reentry.

-Increasing the strength of struts so we don't need cobweb-covered rockets.

[Rjhere]

(I had a kerbal get crushed by a larger stages debris that deorbited behind him while he was planting a flag )

If that would happen to me, I would litteraly be rolling on the ground in pure laughter for the rest of the year.

I'd love a 2,5m NERVA, moar planets, some kind of communications system (remotetech, although not high on my list), deadly reentry etc

[S4qFBxkFFg]

Like most everyone else, I want enhanced IVA - make the internal hatches work so there's no need to make an EVA to move kerbals between two connected parts.

also...

Animate the construction process - make those kerbals running around in the VAB and hangar do something useful! Also, have the rocket being moved to the launch pad in-game - with the inevitable result if the cofg moves too far when it goes up the ramp.

A more detailed comms system - communication won't work if there isn't a line-of-sight from the antenna to the KSC tracking station. This would mean relay stations - either orbiting or landed.

More recovery options, and there should be some sort of cost to pressing the recover button, depending on the location. My idea is that KSC would start off with a few recovery vehicles (no need for the player to actually design them) like a helicopter to pick up crew and a tug boat to recover spent stages from the sea.

There would be options to buy more recovery vehicles, like heavy-lift helicopters, or larger ships that can be pre-positioned at chosen splashdown points. If a recovery is out of range of all KSC vehicles, then the cost would be larger (think of this being equivalent to hiring another company to do it) and would depend on the location - recovery from up a mountain or from an ice cap being slower and much more expensive than from grassland. Of course, we should see any KSC vehicles doing their stuff in the game - without the player having to control them though.

[MrJacobean]

More adapters for spaceplanes, a mk3 style hitchhiker crew pod and to have it so monoliths have their own very small biome that gives lots of science

[peadar1987]

It would be more along the lines of "cool features" rather than something near the top of my list for KSP, but imagine if after you'd built your rocket, and clicked "launch", you could see it being built in the style of a time lapse in the VAB. (Never going to happen, much more important things for the Devs to be doing, but a boy can dream!)

[Knas]

More plane parts and engines.
