Well shit. Looks like that did it.

Could it be?

In 2013, Maxmaps took the wheel, pretending to be a marketer / CM / dev to the fanbase, when in reality he was placed in charge of making sure the final product did not scale beyond the $5mil of our money Adrian and Ezequiel were actually allowing to be spent on the development of KSP.
So, with the cancelling of resources and DLCgate, we saw the future drastically narrow down to a point. This shift was embodied by Maxmaps' continually repeated statement that "sandbox is scope complete" -- we must deconstruct this statement to fully understand the multifaceted meanings. This will take time.
What is important is that in this moment a paradigm was created. A paradigm that suggested "sandbox" was a complete iteration of the game and therefore a major milestone. When in fact it was an arbitrary and artificial line in the sand designed to limit expenditure so that the majority of the invested money could be fraudulently embezzled.
By "moving on" to career mode, they created a false equivalency suggesting career and sandbox were two facets of an overall thing. When they failed to deliver career in a timely manner, science mode was added. Another one of Max's failed promises leading to a compromised feature in the game.
After resourcegate and the declaration that Sandbox was "scope complete," we saw all development begin to pace itself based on business deals rather than development capacity. Every update after this took 6 months, and failures to move the NASA deal along quickly enough led to completely mutilating .23 through .24, which would have been fantastic updates chock full of content if half the content didn’t need to be removed to satisfy an NDA.
And then of course, begins the true Max regime of .25 on.
Ending the false paradigm means returning to the mindset of 2013, reopening Sandbox’s scope, and, if the fanbase cares enough, scrapping and redoing career.

Nope. Tested that in another general already. At least they seem to be trying to avoid collateral damage.

The game publisher is about to release their fraudulent scam console versions and the pr management crony who has been here for three years damage controlling has been going to the mod IRC with a catraper he led astray.
Squad wants to shut this place down as we're on the cusp of exposing their corruption.
This is far from the first time our resident employee has invoked janitorial influence to get his way. This is just another Wednesday for us.

Putting KSP or Kerbal Space Program into any of the fields of an OP results in autosaging. I'm working on a revised OP for longer term use, just in case, but for the time being, we've become /ssgg/, if only in name.

>>145571354
this sort of autism, though frankly a bit of it is justified seeing how SQUAD doesn't exactly have a perfect Eye when it comes to seeing things through or having solid executions of interesting concepts, yet at the same time I think it's part of the character of the game.
Anyway... back on topic.
SPACE!
SPACE!
SPACE!
I wish there was a space-flight-combat-sim that had a Mig-105 vs (some sort of armed/weapon-carrying)X-20 DYNA-SOAR. in low-earth orbit.
Hullo

It'd be kind of neat to develop a project like that. Could have other systems like LEM Interceptors and Polyus laser batteries.
Having to adjust your orbit to avoid flying into an enemy laser firing arc seems like it could lead to some cool tactical game play.
Do any of you guys know if Space Engine has implemented spacecraft properly yet?

the big thing is that it would be a counter to arcade-like/futuristic "space sims". Taking into account technology from the 1960-70's, and sort of allowing tactics or whatever to develop more organically rather than just be "lol lock-on missiles" or "LOL ww1 dogfights in space".
though obviously it would still be far-fetched, just a little more of the anchored kind of far fetched,
though really thinking about it, it could be anything from a strategy-game thing (with something like KSP's trajectory screen) to a DCS-type-sim, where its first person only, and you're either fast forwarding or spending your entire weekend sleeplessly monitoring your trajectory in real time.

VR will never work unless you're willing to wear a force-feedback exoskeleton (that could probably seriously harm you if you aren't careful, and have some kind of 4-8 directional treadmill.

does anyone else play kerbal space program? theres no general for it even though it just came out with a massive update.
>>145584136
>There's no general for it
You can thank certain delusional someone for that.
Also yes.

who? the person that tried to get man banned but ended up getting the entire thread banned from existing?
>>145584778
>the person that tried to get man banned
You need a citation and proof to that accusation. As far as I know, MAN (you) are the responsible. You only thought for yourself, you self.centered piece of shit. you killed the general "you loved", fucking schizo piece of shit.
>>145585106
Not man, m9. Why don't you tell us the purpose of bringing the mods to kspg in the first place? We already know what the end result was, but what did you hope to accomplish in your cloud ofanger
