A few ideas that I didn't see in the 'already suggested' list

[SignalCorps]

I like the idea of re-entry heat, but would that be a selectable option? Like in the difficulty options so you can turn it off if you've not gotten that good yet?

A way to start in orbit to test certain vessels. Obviously in career mode you'd have to do it all yourself, but in sandbox I'd like to be able to put a spacecraft directly in orbit at X meters above planet Y to see how well it performs a function (seeing if I can easily go to the Mun, putting a lander in orbit around a far away planet to see if it's a good design before I actualy attempt to go there, placing a large spacestation in orbit without having to send up many missions to assemble it like it is a base I already had, ect)

Modless autopilot for noobs and people that can't math. "Okay I got to orbit, computer get me in stable orbit around Minimus, make it so"

A indicator of whether or not I can do something. Like in the Android app "Space Agency" it will tell you what percentage of the flight to orbit each stage will take you, and if you will even make orbit with your design. Maybe a thing like "I want to go to planet X, will this design allow that?" And of course a lot depends on you flying correctly and doing the right burns, but it could indicate "It's physically possible if you do everything right, not very likely, or you'd be lucky not to explode on the pad"

Anyway that's a few ideas I had. Sorry if I missed something on the 'already suggested' list or if someone has already suggested it in the forum

Oh, also I'd like to see more signs of civilization on Kerbal. Kind of hard to believe the entirety of the species lives at one space station. It would be cool to see cities as you orbit and see patches of lights from the populated areas during the night side.

It would be even cooler to get news reports of how you rained flaming rocket pieces all over downtown New Kerb City when you jettisoned a stage.

Hi there. Reentry thread over here:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/107224-Include-Shock-Heating-in-the-aerodynamic-overhaul

That auto pilot discussion is a pretty old one. It's been going on for years and tbh it's not geting anywhere. If I remember corectly, the last dev statement on this was along the lines of "no full auto pilot like mech jeb is going to happen". Oh and I just looked it up, auto pilot IS in the what not to suggest list

I'm pretty sure that a function to hyperedit (mod for teleporting vessels to orbit or elsewhere) is not planed. Orbital construction is not going to happen either, sadly enough... A testmode however seems to be at least nog off the table. Many people like that idea, but judging from dev statements the chances aren't the best. Mod for this is, if you are interested, "kerbal construction time".

That readout on how far the remaining fuel will get you, is something a large part of the community has been begging for since the release probably It's actually pretty easy to calculatd it yourself (not as scary or complicated as the word "calculate" indicates ). Most people around here do that anyway I think. The number you need is called "delta-v". You need a mod (mech jeb or kerbal engineer redux) to get your vessels delta-v readout and then you would need too watch this video:

Yes on the lanscape ehancements. Kerbin is rly empty atm. Not sure if cities are within the performance limit, but I would be happy with almost everything that improves the detail.

I hope I wasn't mean or anything. Those suggestions are mostly stuff that I would like to see aswell (except for auto pilot and hyperedit)

greetings
