>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? Modified versions of popular mods are being included in the stock game while the game engine is being upgraded to its latest version. 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 some 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.
snek, BARIS, Orbiter, Space Engine, OpenTTD, Take On Mars, Project CARS, ULA posting, Aurora, TRUMP 2016, abu ali al-scatterer-khan, yuri, iowa and planes are also welcome ITT. Turning the thread to shit and ruining the thread's comfiness is not.
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.
This is how the false paradigm came to be. (1/2)

Oliver Ortiz
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.
I would recommmend Squad "reopen" Sandbox mode and focus on a “campaign mode” next — this was the path they should have taken originally, then used the mechanics from the campaign mode to build it out into a career mode. But instead, Max set his sights on “reputation and funds” and ruined everything about the game so he could say he added a business simulator to it and saved $145 mil for the co-owners of squad to spend on Record Labels and Movie Studios and hookers and drugs. (2/2)

>have a refined physics/heating/aero model
Yeah, so... how's that working, anyhow? I understand that re-entry is pretty sensitive to angle (as it should be,) but if I put an MK1 crew cabin underneath an MK1 pod, with a heatshield on the bottom of the stack, the fucking cabin stays perfectly cool (dark red in the thermal overlay) while the fucking pod on top is glowing bright orange, at literally any angle you try, even with the stack perfectly oriented with the heat shield dead-center on retrograde.
Why the fuck isn't the pod in the shadow of the heat shield?
Ryan Peterson
>You should use pressure to balance the temperature of the thread. It should be hotter on the inside and colder on the outside, if the middle of your thread is too hot or too cold compared to the rest, use the pressure to change it. >If you need grip and you are not running with retarded pressures, use something else like springs (the softer the better as long as you have sufficient suspension travel) or camber or literally anything else depending if you need grip at low speed or high speed and if you need it at the beginning, middle or at the end of the turn.
Interesting and useful information. Have you ever worked with rally cars?

The 1.1 section of the OP has been a press release for months and every time we try to change it it magically changes back.
and if you try to try to implement a proposed change, guess who shows up and sanitizes your efforts

Video games and YouTube videos about video games are his big interest but he plays drums + basketball as well. He doesn't seem that interested in bball and our parents are buying him a new drum set so that doesn't make much sense.
idk senpai. He asked me for an HTC Vive and I could in theory afford one. Sorta tempting desu

Never made big rovers, but this one has rotatable wheels so it can never tip over.

I actually once forgot ladders on my mining station which had the doors on the top. Wondered why I can't use monoprop to jump higher. Found out the guy was too loaded with KIS stuff. Threw away a pylon, could fly.

If they promised to make a Kerbal movie I'd buy the game AGAIN, dear god why, i am not a fiscally responsible man. just for keks.
Love me a shitty movie.

YOU should pirate the game. It's too late for me. and i regret it every day

desu i'm surprised this is considered ethical
i'm fully aware of the hypocrisy as i eat succulent chicken, but i do not like the killing of cute things just to feed other things. [strangely, no real qualms with pest-control.]
which is particularly amusing in the case of cats. i would object to live mice being sold as cat food or toys, yet have no qualms with cats catching live mice.
i'm a hypocrite, but nonetheless: poor mousey. or is that a rat? either the snek and box are smaller than i imagine or that's a pretty big mouse by my standards.
Justin Martin
it's a rat But I have had to feed her mice when I was unable to get rats
As for the ethics, I feed her prekilled rats now
Nathan Wood
Nope, I like watching them (I'm far from an expert tho), but I'm not ecstatic at the idea of working with them, the top level cars are some fucking nice pieces of engineering though, it's amazing to see what people come up with when they have to design a car that has to be repaired within minutes.
Anyway, if you need more troubleshooting with your racing sims, you can find setup guides pretty much everywhere on the internet, one of the most famous is the 21-step setup guide (you can find it here steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=443499370 ) that is very, very useful. It also helps if you look a bit around the net to know what are the things that you are modifying (like damper settings, anti-roll bars and roll centres, tire's traction circles etc.) And how they work and affect the car, damper settings are pretty nasty for example. This way, with time, you won't have to constantly look at a list to know what to change when you have a problem.

>people saying that automation will create more jobs than it replaces because "someone has to repair the robots" why the FUCK is this such a popular argument.
you can argue it would widen chances for everyone to be an artist or some shit, sure, that's a legitimate argument, but why the fuck would you think a robot can't repair a robot 99% of the time? why the fuck would you think robots would need repaired at a 1:1 basis [or better] by humans?
if you needed 1 human to repair every mcdonalds burger robot what in the name of fuck is the point of automating mcdonalds in the first place?
i'm of the view automation will not create more jobs than it replaces, but it will for the first time make basic income truly viable
James Cooper
She probably wouldn't be interested since it wouldn't smell like a rat
Juan Ross
>i'm of the view automation will not create more jobs than it replaces, but it will for the first time make basic income truly viable
It'd be nice if the constant fucking screaming FUD luddite bullshit on Slashdot could fucking realize this. When AI/robots replaces so many jobs that it becomes a significant "crisis," we'll effectively be in a post-scarcity economy, where we can just leave most of the hard work to robots and shit and everyone will get free money because cost of producing goods will have come down so far.
Also what the fuck is going on with this POS? Why the fuck does the command pod heat up so much? Fuck this shit.
Robert Morales
so you're saying i could give snek something that doesn't look much like a mouse at all and she wouldn't smell a rat? guess sneks aren't as smart as i thought. :^)

the social roles and conditioning of females are not conductive to long term friendship or worthwhile discussion as a male.
it's also hard to respect people who give out blowjobs like they've been pegged to the weimar mark.
John Hernandez
I don't know, I always felt closer to girls. But I never had long friendships with them
i did as a kid. not as proper friends though, they were just slightly less overt in laughing at me for being a little retard. maybe they don't. one candid drunk discussion told me that it's quite likely they just enjoy the brief moment of appreciation people give them that comes from sucking dick. if people would ask me i'd probably do the same fucking thing, but that'll never happen and ergo i get to posture high-and-mighty about it.
