Crawler...

[hempa2]

It will be awesome when you launched a rocket (VAB) it would be a cutscene while loading where the rocket is getting transported to the launchpad on a crawler like vehicle.

When launching planes (SPH) they would tax to the runway

However it would be kinda ugly to see a car/VTOL tax so thats why i think we need a garage and a VTOL pad.

This *sounds* like a good idea and indeed it would look cool the first few times. However it would get seriously old really fast.

Whats funnier, seeing a freezed loading screen or a plane / rocket getting to its launch location

i like the quiet loading screen. i shift+tab to the steam browser and peruse the forums here.

That's cool idea, even if its just a really short cutscene that takes up the length of the loading screen... you could have it look from different camera angles every time to break it up a bit.

If they put that in, they also need to put in an option to disable all cut scenes, because I'd get REAL tired of that cut scene REAL fast. No matter how good it is.

Yes, but it would have to load the cutscene as well. It would just be eye-candy, and making it take longer to load.

Wasn't someone actually working on some crawler parts? I think one you could control would be more fun... though launch clamps would be tricky to work out.

[dryer_lint]

I think it should just be a picture, not actually an animated cutscene. Just a picture to replace the Loading symbol.

Rather than a cutscene or animation, I would prefer to have an actual crawler part/vehicle that one can build their vessel / launch clamps on top of.

LoL everybody replies to the cutscene/crawler but noone cares about the VTOL pad or garage...

I meant just some generic cutscene that would load up at the start of the game... But if it was to show your ship it would still have to load something... Not sure. I like the screenshot idea still though, makes loading screens less boring.

I would object to this if it were part of every mission. If it were to play during game load (not save load or launch pad load) then I wouldn't mind watching it.

I concur with this - an in-game cutscene would be added tedium / annoyance.

[launchpad_liftoff]

I would like to suggest something that I have wanted to see in KSP for a while.

And that is seeing your assembled rocket driven from the VAB to the launchpad. I think it would greatly add to the aspects of a space program and also might allow you to test the general stability of your rockets while they are being moved, instead of appearing out of nowhere on the launchpad.

I quite like this idea, there could be an in-engine cut scene showing your craft rolling out, it'd give KSP more of a chance to load stuff, though it doesn't take long to load the scene anymore.

I guess I'll merge these then...

[KvickFlygarn87]

To make it simple, I propose a single clip with, say, the Kerbal X for the VAB and the Aeris for the SPH. It's a good idea on paper, but in practice, making a custom video of a plane taxing every time is just impossible to code.
