ALL the realism

[DuoDex]

So we have all these interesting things that will

• Make KSP harder (for me, at least)
  
• Make KSP more realistic
  

Personally, I like the level of difficulty in KSP at the moment. I highly anticipate the new aerodynamic system, because I think it will make things easier, but as for life support and actual reentry things, here's what I suppose.

Checkboxes. Turn them on and off in the difficulty screen when starting a new save.

Yep. Checkboxes and customizable difficulty all the way.

But I don't wanna burn up on a 10km/s entry!

Just uncheck the box!

With the new aero, new isp and heat system... im pretty content. Life Support? Ehhh.. naaaa. No need imo for a stock LS system. If they were going to do it I would rather they do it on the level of TAC. If not then id say forget it all together. Because with TAC covering EVERY resource needed it adds a system upon which you can make actual LS loops and efficient blocks to keep your kerlabs alive. Anything else would just be make sure you pack enough snacks! Meaning just slap on enough parts for the to and from trip. You can do the same with with TAC, but again there are intricacies with TAC that make it worth the time to create a good LS system. Gives space stations another use for one thing... testing your LS system and seeing how it reacts with your kerbals over years. Like how it is in real life.

I agree with check boxes. I don't agree that realism necessarily makes the game harder. Specifically the things you mentioned: life support and re-entry heat.

Because it's what I do.

Edited post to comply with that.

I prefer role-playing my life support. If I don't get a new shipment in x days, a Kerbal dies.
