what are we expecting in 0.24?

[lammatt]

this is NOT a question of WHEN (in case the mod misread and block me, i bother to CAP the words NOT WHEN)

==========================================================================

i missed the twitch sessions and i cant bother to go thru them,

so if anyone is kind enough to enlighten me, please.

[Dooz]

Well improved tutorials and contracts is what i can think of. Oh and of course the NASA astroid pack.

Smarter conics drawing

Better maneuver node editing

Contracts

Back end improvements (I think?)

[Mitchz95]

Are we getting more biomes in 0.24? Duna is a bit overdue.

Money in career mode?

This. It may not be something specifically mentioned, but it's something that really ought to happen. Especially if other career re-balancing and addition of contracts occurs.

Jumbo parts. Saturn V big.

Sauce? I had never heard of those two features.

Until then, there's always the custom biomes mod.

I dunno about the first, but the second feature was mentioned on one of the live streams on twitch.tv. It should still be archived there and I believe it was mentioned during the pre recorded interview with harvester some weeks ago.

I'm unsure if asteroids are being added into 0.24 itself, or if they are only in the NASA mission pack. Of course, if it is the latter, it begs the question that perhaps asteroids will be added into later versions of the game.

Sauce? What is that supposed to mean? The smarter conics drawing was mentioned in a Squadcast sometime before Feb. 10th, Harvester said it would switch to mode 0 in certain cases, I would assume when you focused on the body with the next intercept. The maneuver node editing was mentioned more recently in regards to actually performing an intercept with an asteroid, although I could be dreaming and it was actually SQUAD sanely switching over to using doubles instead of floats.

It's how people on imgur say Source. *Facepalms*

they said .24 is required for the nasa mission pack, so, its a safe bet that the nasa pack comes between .24 coming out and .25.

Smarter conics drawing

Define "smarter", as I'm perfectly happy with the current way.

[regex]

Smarter as in actually using draw mode 0 when appropriate, like when you're focused on a planet trying to refine your intercept periapsis or maybe seeing if Ike is once again going to mess up your approach.

[liweih]

Better parts connection.

[The Destroyer]

Improved joints

CONTRACTS!

...Uhhh, I don't remember much else. All the features is in the NASA pack ._.

[Othuyeg]

As a space plane fan I am hoping for new stuff for my planes. I have no idea what I can realisticly expect, but I guess I am just an optimist at heart.

Improved part-to-part joints: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/68489

Much needed. FJR has become one of those must-have mods.

I assume you meant KJR

I'll make my own Mun base!

But really. I expect asteroids, and some sort of grappler system. And improved joints. I also expect we'll get some more biomes. Maybe Duna and Ike or Eve, Gilly and Moho. And hopefully a reworking of science so all these new points won't be going in to the same tree that is already too easy to unlock.

Oh and I wouldn't be surprised if the science lab gets an IVA.

[KerbMav]

I am honestly really interested how the biome creation process works - it must be either quite difficult and tedious or Squad wants to hold back things to have "something new" in an update?

Also I lost track of the changes to planets and moons, are they final already or can we expect changes like the reworking of Mun (still to dark for my taste! )?
