CalculusWarrior Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So we know the space center's destroy able but what about the second one on the island? And what about all the Easter eggs in the game? How cool would it be to visit the Stonehenge on Vall and accidentally hit one and cause it to collapse, or smash the space kraken on bop to peices? There more than meets the eye than just the space center with this update and I hope squad relished that too. So what do you think?I can just imagine hitting the Space Kraken too hard and it blowing up. In fact, perhaps it could just spontaneously combust when your ship is nearby?

Wanderfound Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I can just imagine hitting the Space Kraken too hard and it blowing up. In fact, perhaps it could just spontaneously combust when your ship is nearby? Something similar would actually work as a serious gameplay element: fragile biomes that disappear if you drop too much rocket junk on them or fire up heavy thrusters in their vicinity.

iStickyDuck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm concerned about this feature because as awesome as it is, I'm going to be really annoyed to play Career and accidentally crash into one of the buildings and be stuck with it being destroyed. I know I can quicksave/load but I like to play career with out itDo the buildings get rebuilt after a certain period of time or will I be stuck with a smoking rubble pile...

worir4 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Max said that you have to pay ALLOT of money to rebuild them.P.S There is already a thread for 0.25 discussion so i think you would be better off posting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Unless you really want to play with it on you can turn destructible buildings off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Cargo bays will eliminate drag from parts within them, even in stock aero. This paves the way for useful fairings in stock, and perhaps a better aero model in general.Edit: Apparently this is not in 0.25, but 0.26 or later.

I really do hope they extend that to fairings. I'd love for that to be an available feature with fairing mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have catastrophic consequences for stability in stock aero... Make sure your cargo bays are mounted in a forward location :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethon Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) To further what Red said, I found a quote from Max on Reddit that may help the better aero crowd cheelax a bit. :"Hey now, let's not go nuts yet. As I tweeted afterwards, it's not something for 0.25, but it's something for the future.If you want an official stance on aerodynamics; We know they need work, however for the alpha stage we feel like they are sufficient. Not great, just sufficient. Once we actually reach feature complete, then we'll absolutely look into them, see what we can and should fix to get them to a proper standard. For now, the team has to work on getting features that don't exist to actually exist, before we get to getting to improve things that currently exist but aren't great.Tl;dr: We know aero isn't great. We'll get to it. Just not in 0.25."Emphasis is mine.http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2hyeor/maxmaps_cargo_bays_will_shield_contents_in_stock/ Edited October 1, 2014 by Aethon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegrade Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Please, use FAR or NEAR until further notice.That sounds like a public service announcement."Friends don't let friends use stock air!"Also INB4 someone complains about aero failures in FAR even though there's literally a big round button to turn them off.

Much more reassuring than the previous stance of "we'll look at it, maybe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klgraham1013 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm going to guess Tuesday. A weekend of hype, a work day to fix any last minute bugs, and release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sooo.... My money was on release yesterday. Too bad it didn't happen.I originally thought so too. But when Monday came and went, without the media release flood, then it was clear that it was going to take longer. Now I think next week is a safe bet, since they said the media updates will start Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
