What is "mission planning" that upgraded tracking station+mission control do?

Lets you use the nodes

[Frozen_Heart]

End of an era.... and the beginning of a new one!

* Rotation and Offset gizmos can also snap to angles and to a 3D grid.

Does "3D grid" snap mean we can cobble together a sort of vertical snap?

[KasperVld]

Not exactly, give it a try - I find it hard to explain

[combat squirrel]

New keyboard shortcuts for editor please?!!?!

I Actually screamed!

[Bill Phil]

Welllllll.......... Who wants to explode!

[combat squirrel]

in the first post.

amazing thanks!

[Camacha]

So, no new aero model?

[panzer1b]

Wow, thanks so much.

While im dissapointed no procedural parts were included, and no optimization of super large part counts has been added, the current features so make up for the lack of those 2 things i consider most important.

Everything is so nice now, especially MK-3 parts (capital ship redesign time, as i get stuff bigger then MK-2 to make hulls out of), the crew perks (im really impressed with teh way its actually BALANCED!, and that the idea of changing physical ngine stats went out the door), and ofc the bets pat, making the editor 10 times better!

Also, pilot skill is OVERPOWERED!

I can just tell the pilot to aim at a target, and then press space to explode it with a RT-10 kinetic torpedo thats mounted in the nose of my cruiser........

anyways, GJ SQUAD, you continue to impress me with the upgrades to this game.

May i suggest though for next update, adding procedural fuel tanks, wings, and possible structural panels, this would (or unity5 will fix this) act as a makeshift solution to large craft lag. Id also love to see more optimization, but hey, guess we have to be patient.

Wait a minute... I've watched Interstellar today (it sucks btw) how long I was gone? o_O

Planned for beta, but not this release.

THIS:

* Fixed issues with symmetrical 'subgroups' after attaching a parent part using symmetry

Please let it be true.

[Galileo Kerbonaut]

I was watching some 0.9.0 YT videos and now I can download it

Thanks Squad and merry Christmas!

[Konstantine the Great]

Finished downloading in less than thirty minutes. Nice going SQUAD! Now I'm debating whether to play or to study for finals.

[BagelRabbit]

Awww... Now I can't make five-sided (or infinite-sided) symmetry via this.

Will update as soon as I'm home. Very, very, very, very excited

[Jarin]

Kerbals now have specific roles and a skillset they can develop based on mission experience:

Scientists increase recovery value of collected data, transmission value of uploaded data and the lab boost factor (when manning a lab).

Engineers are able to repair broken parts like rover wheels, landing legs, and repack parachutes.

Pilots provide SAS features at various levels. Basic SAS is available as long as at least one pilot is aboard.

Question since I can't thoroughly test yet... do Jeb/Bill/Bob have fixed roles? I'm really hoping they do...

Tweaked sideslip factor in landing gear (was much too strong).

Does this mean my planes won't be so prone to veering off the runway on takeoff?

Edit: Also, please please PLEASE tell me the radial decoupler is finally fixed?

[FishInferno]

I'm still downloading, but did they add more levels of symmetry?

[KasperVld]

Question since I can't thoroughly test yet... do Jeb/Bill/Bob have fixed roles? I'm really hoping they do...

They do indeed have fixed role: Jeb is the pilot, Bill is the engineer and Bob the scientist.

Planned for beta, but not this release.

God damn it Kasper, you never want the forums to speculate or talk about things too far in the version, but now I'm hyped up again!

[Dirty Bob]

How am I supposed to keep working on my Kerbal hardware project when you release something like this?

On another note, taking vacation this week certainly paid off.

[KasperVld]

God damn it Kasper, you never want the forums to speculate or talk about things too far in the version, but now I'm hyped up again!

It's never too early to start

[The Destroyer]

I don't think this is normal?
