KvickFlygarn87 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 How do you guys think the budgets will affect Career modea easiness? I think it will improve the challenge by a lot, while not bringing it into dangerous levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 How do you guys think the budgets will affect Career modea easiness? I think it will improve the challenge by a lot, while not bringing it into dangerous levels.I think right out of the gate it'll be a balance nightmare. I'm pretty sure current prices are just placeholders, so assuming those aren't audited we'll have under-powered parts costing a fortune and over-powered parts on the cheap. We'll need to re-consider that part-balance spreadsheet based on dollar-to-delta-v metrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Like players will quickly find that 1 large engine A/large tank A combo provides 1000 dV for $500K, but 10 tiny engine Bs/tiny tank Bs provides 1000 dV for $300K. I can see part counts exploding to exploit cost imbalances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klgraham1013 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hoping there will be a monthly stipend of some type. I am some what worried about missions lining up with what I want my space program to be. A monthly budget based on your reputation may solve this. Guess I can only wait and see. So far, the mod community has solved any issues I have with the game, so I'll count on them again if things aren't exactly what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Once an economic system is built a lot of mods are going to need to be reviewed as well for their balance. Kethane's already a little cheat-y (admittingly, it's a fair bit of work, but it's also all the free gas you can carry), nevermind mods like Extraplanetary Launchpads... How do you budget balance a fuel-mining and rocket construction colony on some distant moon? Not that that's Squad's problem, but this adds a whole new layer of balancing.

Rowsdower Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 And free snacks will be dispensed to everyone that's bought the game, right?Yes. Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints, it'll only be stale black licorice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see part counts exploding to exploit cost imbalances.Which clearly balances out, in a way. Or charge an "assembly fee" for each part used...But yes I'm sure it will be rebalanced several times.

WindShieIds Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Contracts, hopefully more parts, and looks like we're also going to have a second gas giant (according to the wiki) http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Gas_planet_2And It will bring us a new arsenal of moons to explore! I will finally have something to do with my arsenal of deep space probes.Edit: Oh, so we don't know when gas planet 2 will come out then.

timsfitz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Gas planet 2 may never get added to the game. I don't think anyone but you has said it will be in .24. It would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirrobert Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Where do you get that GP2 is planned with .24?There is nothing on the wiki suggesting such a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mipe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 "Looks like", huh? Nothing on that page says it will for certain be included in the 0.24, neither is it colored blue in the Planned Features (http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Planned_features)To save ourselves from the Great Disappointment of the Second Gas Giant Absence, I'll assume it won't make it in for the 0.24. Unless you provide some legit sources. I'm watching you. Closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I see no 24. On that wiki page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The Big Talking Head told me that Minmus really was made of green cheese and would be an edible life-support resource in 0.24. You have to mine it with Welsh Kerbals, that's what KSC West is for.Or possibly not. Pointless speculation anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4pt0r Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) other than your claim about gp2 (which i am filing away mentally as misinformation to sell to the north korean space agency) i too am looking forward to .24! i play in bursts around update releases, and when they mentioned experimentals in the tuesday dev notes a couple weeks ago, i got all my kerbals back ground side. now i see that was premature, but oh well *shrug* Edited May 25, 2014 by r4pt0r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy teh space man Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm looking forward to the economy in 0.24, and I'll try to do a play thru if I have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There's already a .24 megathread, even though there's no .24 yet. Anyway, the new .24 thread has been merged, to keep the thread mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
