>This is only the beginning
edition
>Can the game be considered a full release?
No, for all intents and purposes, KSP should be considered still in early access state. The game is nowhere near being able to stand on its own legs both from a gameplay perspective (career mode is definitely not ready and balanced) and a stability perspective. There are still major bugs and memory leaks that shouldn't exist on a finished game.
>Are there big issues with the game?
Bugs and instability are still real and frequent problems, as with every product still in beta. Ask in thread for details.
>What are the devs doing?
The most recent update (1.1) was supposedly going to bring a complete overhaul of the GUI, be 64bit friendly, have a refined physics/heating/aero model and generally perform better. While achieving none of these goals, the game is now more unstable than ever, with many users being unable to use the game at all. An external team with heavily questionable experience (Flying Tiger Entertainment) is being tasked with porting the game to PS4, XboxOne and Wii U, with a release deadline that seems to keep slipping.
>Should I buy the game?
KSP is very enjoyable at first, then it usually needs to be modded to retain some sort of longevity, but doing so may dramatically increase the instability of the game. You will be very familiar with the word "Oops!". The Developers, Squad, have shown many times that they can't handle the project and are trying to squeeze all the money they can with the least amount of effort and with controversial PR tactics. The general consensus at /kspg/ is that you should torrent the game, not because the game itself is unplayable, but because most of us agree that Squad does not deserve your money.
Fuck, was supposed to be "Building rockets with an xbox controller" edition.

>>147329259
I'm thinking of the new complex they built in the far east (?) -- didn't know there was another project.But I did see that Russia wrote into their ISS agreement that all the tech they send up there can be repurposed for their own stuff. That's why we have to supply their stuff too for redundancyThough I spose life support is a good thing to keep redundant.
Russia's a third world country. I look forward to getting their garbage off our station tbqh.

what the fuck, janitor stamped the wordtags "ksp" and "kerbal" with autosage ?? thats some serious censoring shit here
I think what the issue is that you can still tell that MAN made the thread, in addition it was painfully obvious that he started spamming the end of the last thread to make his own.
I'm not shilling and I'm sure I'm going to be called Max or angry anon or any other number of MAN's half-baked insults but I mean really, we're not stupid.

Yes, MAN managed to schizo so hard that we are autosaged by the mods. He got really butthurt when his OPs got removed and started spamming conspiracy theories about how the whole general is against him. The mods noticed and posted that we need to not have intra-general drama and added us to the filter.
>>147329680
>>147329375
They proposed that they're going to build an orbital factory. Apparently they want to use it for stuff like building crewed Mars spacecraft.
>>147329675
No, I'm saying you're right, and therefore I cannot prove you wrong.
>>147329680
Hardly.
Yuri made a thread. It died, then MAN made a thread. About an hour later Anti-MANposter made a thread because he didn't like the MANthread. He used that stupid OP picture with the rocket that has no liquid fuel engine and two SRBs. That was the duplicate thread that caused the shitstorm.
MAN is a prick, but he is also innocent when it comes to the filter.

I'm definitely of the same opinion. I can't help but watch, though. Plus, it's kind of fascinating to see how a country like Russia is going to try to jury-rig together a functional space factory.
>>147330151

I've seen this pattern before. He waits until activity is down, keeps bumping his thread, and when it is quiet the main thread 404s and his stays alive.
Or both 404 and his is up 25 seconds after the deletion.
It's about to happen.
Maybe calling him out will stop it from happening this time.

No, it doesn't. But I'm sick of watching it happen every time making a new thread rolls around. This is something like the fourth time in a row.
MAN's autism doesn't allow him to stop making threads no matter how many times this happens because he doesn't seem to learn. That's what caused the autosage and it's what's sucking the life out of /kspg/.
>>147333182
We get it, you feel guilty about bringing the mods here with your duplicate threads and report spamming and want to revise The Truth to make it MAN's fault.

And make it clear you're reaching out not only because you care about him and want him to be in a good place, but because you yourself need to reach out and talk to someone (even if this is not true, if he feels like he is being a burden, he will try harder to hide his feelings from you)
>>147334292
If you get the impression that he is a risk to himself, you need to act pretty quickly. While it might seem like a betrayal, calling 911 might be the best bet, depending on how unstable the individual is.
>>147334409
>calling 911
A guy was having bad thoughts and laying in his dorm bed with a knife. Cops walked in and shot him in the chest. Don't call 911, it's the lazy approach. That will be the worst thing to do for him.
If you know he's making an attempt or has said he is making an attempt, then call, but you can't jump right from "he sounds sad" to "I'm calling the authorities," unless you definitely want to lose a friend.
Talk to him in person. Take him to the movies. Get him out of his head. Best thing you can do for someone in that position. Don't wait until its too late. He'll always remember you pulled him back from the brink.
Can we please just post spess and complain about squad
>>147334575
>Don't call 911, it's the lazy approach.
What?
The fact is, none of us are doctors. We don't have the needed expertise to properly help somebody with a mental illness. I'm not saying call 911 because he sounds sad, I'm saying that if you seriously think this person is at risk of harming themselves, you need to intervene. If that's physically, sure, I guess go for it. But calling the Police or Paramedics is also an option.

I drive it, and the car performs as it should, taking corners like a car of it's sort would, and showing a typical braking distance.
Then, you get into it. You've driven cars for far longer than I have, so when you drive the car, it performs better, has a smaller turning circle, and a short braking distance than it did when I drove it mere minutes before.

Thank you for your valuable opinion, let me know when you can answer with something actually relevant to the question being asked
>>147337710
Are we seriously comparing video games to real life now?
Because literally every game with even the most basic experience system locks you out of certain features unless you reach a certain level.
Arcade racing: you can't drive powerful cars, you can't use the nitro or access certain areas until you are famous/rich/wanted/badass/respected/experienced enough.
Soccer: you can't play against famous teams because they know how to dribble and you don't until you get enough experience.
Literally any RPG: your weapon does X damage, but when you get more experience, it makes 2X damage even though it's the same weapon.
Should I go on or do you want to keep making stupid comparisons?
In the case of KSP, ships don't perform differently, the engines still get the same thrust and Isp, you still get the same amount of electricity or the same amount of reaction torque, you are just locked out of certain features like being able to aim prograde/normal/radial or resetting experiments until the damn kerbal gets enough experience.
Is the way experience is earned retarded? Yes.
Is it stupid that kerbals have a couple of exp levels where they don't earn new abilities? Absolutely.
But don't try to twll me that the "get exp, learn new abilities" system KSP has is not exactly like every other game

by your logic racing shouldn't even exist since everyone would make the same lap times using the same car on a circuit
if you think the only thing that decides the performance of a car is the car itself and not the driver and it's experience, then you are quite fantastically wrong
not that any of the things you mentioned happened in the game..but still..
>>147343230
Things like being able to use SAS if you are skilled enough is a fundamental reversal of KSP's "game philosophy"if it can be said to have one
The "fun" comes from "gaining experience" and learning how spaceflight and orbital mechanics work. That is not the same as gaining arbitrary points that make the game easier to play. In fact, it doesn't belong in the game at all, because it is promotes afalse p a r a d i g m.
>>147343543
I was pointing out how the example he/you made is wrong
I'm not saying KSP system makes sense
there is no performance improvement on any craft whatsoever when using a skilled pilot engineer or scientist..the craft goes as fast, turns as hard and uses as much fuel as with unskilled crew
>>147329375
>Russia's a third world country.
Are you retarded? It's "second world" by definition. You might want to educate yourself on the Cold War.
Also ISS is scheduled to be dunked into the ocean relatively soon, but Russian segment is to be repurposed into a gas station on LEO or something.
But, /pol/ aside, what the fuck did you do to get KSP autosaged? How do you fuck up so badly that you get a game that is peaceful in nature, that is about exploration, rockets and adding more rockets to them autosaged?
>>147343907
>Things like being able to use SAS if you are skilled enough
don't you need to have a pilot of a certain level to activate sas in career mode now? And engineers to repack chutes and repair wheels?
I guess that's not exactly the same thing, though, now that I think about it.Did they ever finish implementing KXP?
>>147344069
We started asking where the money wentalso the cold war is over we privitized the entire soviet union and sold it to evil businessmen for pennies on the dollar.

>>147344090
You need a pilot for SAS period.
Experienced pilots get shit like being able to hold orientation in different directions.
If you drive a ship with someone who is not a pilot, then you get no SASwhich kinda makes sense 2bh

>Stability Augmentation System, Stability Assist (System),
>System
I know they fundamentally rejiggered how it works to make this less true, but it is a computer that can hold a trajectory.
It comes down to what a "kerbal" is supposed to be. And I think this is actually an interesting question, because in KSP, you build your avatar: your ship. You can connect multiple avatars in orbit to make a super-avatar or you can break your avatar into smaller pieces, but you only pilot one ship at a timeat least in stock.
So, what is a kerbal? Is it an "asset" like a pilot or a engineer or a scientist, or is it more like a "lifeboat" avatar for when you need a different one? I guess the answer is both, but I don't see the fun in having to manage kerbal class systems,but I can understand why a fascist would.
A kerbal being a high level pilot should allow you to automate a mission without even having it focused, but instead, because "SAS" was available as a pre-existing feature, it was easier just to gate that.Kinda like all of career mode.

As well as everything else mentioned, disable the reaction control wheels on the upper stage. It's trying to rotate the rest of the rocket, but its connections aren't stiff enough to do it.

People are scared of the power of the atom. They have seen what the fire of atomic weapons have done to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they have heard the tales of cancers and deformities.
Thus the atom becomes an acceptable target - cutting programs that might only serve to spread illness? A sound political move. Even more so when you simply don't have the budget to spent on payload.

So, the history of human spaceflight is going to read:
>"discovered the basic principles of spaceflight at the same time as nuclear physics. Someone was smart enough to put the two together and create a vehicle capable of hauling massive tonnage to the stars, and due to budget cuts and government inefficiency, we continued to build liquid fuelled rockets for 60+ years, creating a shuttle program that murdered dozen astronauts, in order to haul a few tons to orbit, and no one questioned a thing."

It's not politics, it's just facts.
For the average American the shuttle program was an amazing achievement, this is undeniable and shows how little you can trust the population to recognise when something is stupid and a waste of money

They pitched it to the Kennedy administration as an interplanetary nuclear battleship capable of wiping out continents, including hangars for aircraft and mutliple Casaba-Howitzer directed nuclear energy guns. Apparently it scared the bejeezus out of them so they wanted it buried, lest anyone use the same against them. The Casaba-Howitzer project is still classified for instance.
Something similar happened to SLAM (Supersonic Low Altitude Missile). It was an unmanned, open-core nuclear powered, nuclear weapon carrying aircraft that would loiter at high altitude for months. When go-time came around, it would hit the deck, fly low over enemy territory spraying radiation the entire time, fire its nukes, then crash its reactor into a secondary target for area denial. It was cancelled in part out of fear that the enemy would be forced to adopt something similar.

Nevermind. Didn't see it only shits one turd at a time. Looks neat. Sad to think what else could have been achieved with the concept.I wonder, if scaled down, if it is as efficient and much quieter... the kind of thing you could launch from the pacific at night and get away withAnd with the smaller, less damaging fuel you could potentially put a housing around the explosion, directing more downwards and masking its outward effects, no?
Maybe if you didn't stir shit up every time man makes a thread, things would be fine.

It actually has advantages in that if you're making craft to share, you can tell those playing other modeswhich shouldn't exist but that's neither here nor therehow much they're gonna pay to use it.

>You might want to educate yourself on the Cold War.
sick of this argument t-b-h, everyone knows when you say third world you mean "fucking shithole" and when you say first world you mean "good country"
the cold war is over.;-;Russia is second world because it's not Africa tier, not because of a long outdated geopolitical alignment system.
someone is always gleefully waiting to go "lolno Somalia isn't actually third-world because it has no actual government and therefore is non-aligned! :^) "
