Red Iron Crown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm still holding out for "Boosters" to be the currency name. "More boosters, more problems.""The love of boosters is the root of all evil.""With my mind on my boosters and my boosters on my mind."So looking forward to version 192.168.24.11.

KvickFlygarn87 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 They are gonna call the money Funds, check the latest Devnotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 They are gonna call the money Funds, check the latest Devnotes.Not sure that's the units, though. We don't collect Sciences, we collect science "points". We're not going to say "I got 2000 funds for that contract" (at least, I hope not). We'll say "I got 2000 dollars of funds for that contract" where dollars will be some other noun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkStar Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What about measuring it in explosives? "I just got 10000 tons of <explosive name here> for that contract!" *puts it too close to a rocket* *KSC is now broke* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdFred Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What I would like to see is the option to choose Sandbox, Career the way it currently is, and Career with contracts/funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookoo_gr Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 i would like to see the option to go to the tracking station at the in - game menu (when i press esc during gameplay) along with go to space center option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmonzo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What I would like to see is the option to choose Sandbox, Career the way it currently is, and Career with contracts/funds.Well, the way the game develops these days, I would not be afraid of career being too hard, so I doubt having money in game will probaby not change much and the contracts will probably be fun, so no need for yet another gamemode imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should make a suggestion thread for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr. Arn1e Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Nothing new so far? Thought someone might make a comment or two on the new engines we'll be getting, or something...I'm wondering what the new engines will be capable of, looking forward to trying them out on a new space shuttle build, among other things, like better asteroid capturing ships!

Red Iron Crown Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The devnotes also indicate some changes to the Mainsail to make it a good alternative in more situations. Glad they're breathing some life into the old girl.I like the idea of both LFO-powered attitude control thrusters and monopropellant-powered engines, more options are always good.

phoenix_ca Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I like the idea of both LFO-powered attitude control thrusters and monopropellant-powered engines, more options are always good.There's a such thing as being presented with too many options.

For all we know they're decreasing the NASA parts to be more in line with everything else.But frankly I wouldn't mind a bit more beef in the Mainsail. I almost never use it, even before 0.23.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorso Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I like the idea of both LFO-powered attitude control thrusters and monopropellant-powered engines, more options are always good.Are you referring to the OMS packs, or did I somehow miss something about monoprop engines? A more dedicated monoprop engine may be a useful thing to have- I like the versatility that the radial monoprop tanks provide.In regards especially to budgets, I foresee these alternatives being very welcome. A single combo-engine--or larger guage--could economically be cheaper than a smattering of PlaceAnywhere ports, nevermind part count calculations.

EvilotionCR2 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Could we have 64-bit official version? Because this works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 We're still on the same track we've been rolling on where it comes to 64 bit KSP, though I have to say that the results in that thread have been mighty surprising in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually more interested in LFO powered control thrusters, especially if they're more powerful than current RCS thrusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemecium Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Regarding "funds", I don't have any more trouble imagining people in the near future talking about how many funds they got for stuff than I do about people now talking about how much "science" they got for a mission. Science isn't a substance (less so than money in fact), but people still quantify the points as such. There haven't been any mass protests insisting we call it "Science Research Data Credits" or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
