>>125684929
Every change to the OP has to be discussed.

Why change the OP anyway?

>>125685062
IIRC that other OP was a proposal that went along this OP we have now, apparently this one won and that one didn't so this is probably the butthurt loser that is trying to come back.

Don't quote me on that tho, I wasn't around when the OP change was discussed.

>>125685345
You're right on what you said.

BURN SQUADCAST

TONIGHT AT 6PM EST ON TWITCH DOT TV SLASH KSPTV

If I've learned anything today, it's that the shills are real, and we must burn squadcast with the fury of a thousand suns.

>>125685627
>posting an old as fuck strawpoll
There was a newer one where we decided between this one and the other one.
We decided on this one >>125684627

You just want to be a special snowflake.

I can feel your anus burning from here, anon

>>125685917
But what I don't understand is why he brings it up now. We've been using the current OP for over a month now.

>>125685780
>>125685917
>the other strawpoll was made a few days later
>"newer"

Keep reaching, Anon. It amuses me greatly.

>>125686046
Please answer to >>125686030

Why do you bring it up now? We all decided the OP we currently use was better.

I thought everything was okay by now.

>>125686046
So you are trying to say that it was not newer because it wasn't posted after a completely arbitrary amount of time from your proposal?
Heh...your grasping is showing

You lost

Get over it

If humans could harvest energy at extremely low efficiency rate from your butthurt, the world would be set for several hundred years

>>125686221
Because the current OP sounds like some sort of pitiful tone-policed disaster. It literally sounds like something written by a Squad apologist just trying to fit in.

Reminder that this went to QA.

>>125686389
That wasn't really my question.

We all decided to make the OP look a bit more professional.
And it doesn't excuse anything. It brings everything to the point.

My question was why start bitching about it NOW?

>>125686370
>So you are trying to say that it was not newer because it wasn't posted after a completely arbitrary amount of time from your proposal?

Yep. Just as you declared that it was too old to be considered valid because the poll was taken an arbitrary length of time ago.

>>125686390
Reminder that its intended since otherwise there would be no underwater engines in stock.

>>125686389
You should have brought up your doubts sooner you idiot, we discussed OPs for weeks, this OP was voted against yours.
There is nothing to discuss again.

Make a new OP and post it here so everyone can vote on it again, but your old OP is not going to be used, since it lost.

Forcing your OP without asking is the fastest way to make everyone hate it

>>125686550
Because it's still a shit OP. It isn't a fine wine, and it isn't getting any better with time. At least the alternate OP isn't a load of tone-policed garbage.

>>125686556
>Just as you declared that it was too old to be considered valid
That's completely missing the point. It's like president Bush walking into the white house now, kicking Obama in his butt and proclaim he's president again.

>>125686842
Tell me, anon. Do you remember *why* this second OP was proposed?

>>125686780
I don't really follow the fo4 community, what did Todd lie about this time?

>>125686960
Because someone apparently didn't like your version.

>>125687115
It's a meme you dip

>>125687139
Not quite. It's because somebody most likely MMAN or one of the other paranoid assholes like Mirk or someone, started screaming SHILLS because the OP was changed after we voted on it, and he didn't notice the discussion we'd already had.

>>125686556
OK, I'll explain to you the logic since you are clearly too stupid to get it yourself or you are pretending to be stupid.

I said it was old and I was implying that a straw poll several weeks/months old could have been manipulated in all sorts of ways to make it show what you want it to show (in this case: your OP was good).

Since you posted it anyway and decided that malicious manipulation was not an issue, I brought up the other poll, which was newer because it was posted after yours, in which, at the time it was posted, your OP lost against this new OP.

now the choice is yours, you can disregard the newer poll (for the same reason I am disregarding the one you posted), but at that point both polls are not valid anymore and yoh should go through the usual approval process again OR you can assume both polls are valid, brag about winning against the old OP, but you should also acknowledge the newer poll where you clearly lose against the competition.

The fact that you saved a poll link for all this time makes it clear how butthurt you are, so this logic will never get to your brain and you will keep screaming le shillmaster meme at everyone because you are an idiot.

>>125687374
Still we voted again afterwards if we'd use your version or the current one. The current one won. Why are we still arguing about this?

>>125687115
The title.

This is not a poll about which OP we will use, that was already decided upon by the group as being the OP used in this thread.

This is a poll about which OP you personally prefer. For the purposes of keeping the poll options as unambiguous as possible, "this thread" is defined as >>125684627 (with a comic shopped with Hullo) and "that thread" is defined as >>125684301 (with Oneill cylinders).

http://strawpoll.me/6293021

>>125687374
It was still voted as a better alternative to your OP.

Holy fuck you are truly mad

>>125687678
At this point I can't even be mad about F4.
Skyrim sold like hot buns and it was clear that they'll just take the same try on Fallout.
People who believed the hype have to blame only themselves. Believing any hype is dumb.
I didn't bought it and I'm happy about it.

I hope they'll update the engine, and switch the team for the next Elder Scrolls game.

>>125687848
>this is not a poll to decide which OP is better
>this is a poll to decide which OP, in your opinion, is better

Gr8 logic m8

>>125687992
I specifically wrote the words "use" and "prefer" instead of what you wrote.

Please get some cream for your burnt booty.

>>125687585
>I said it was old and I was implying that a straw poll several weeks/months old could have been manipulated in all sorts of ways to make it show what you want it to show (in this case: your OP was good).

At which point brings into question the other Strawpoll as well. Since you accept that the other one wasn't manipulated, it's illogical for you to raise the same argument for the one I posted.

>now the choice is yours, you can disregard the newer poll (for the same reason I am disregarding the one you posted), but at that point both polls are not valid anymore and yoh should go through the usual approval process again OR you can assume both polls are valid, brag about winning against the old OP, but you should also acknowledge the newer poll where you clearly lose against the competition.
Except that this isn't some sort of competition. The current OP is shit, bordering on Pro-Squad shilling, and I simply didn't feel like using it. Want me to not make threads with that OP? Let's write a new one that isn't tone policed into the ground.

>The fact that you saved a poll link for all this time makes it clear how butthurt you are

Or I have clipboard memory. Or I don't wipe my history all that often. Occam's Razor is your friend.

>>125687848
>inb4 this OP wins again and the guy starts saying shills are multivoting to make him lose.

Wait, lemme grab some popcorns

>>125688151
Then just don't create OP's anymore.

It's as easy as that.

>>125688276
Nah, I think I'll keep making new OPs.

>>125688151
So you have a gripe against the OP but rather than taking this to the group, you instead decided that you are better than everyone else and took matters into your own hands. Now you're acting surprised when everyone else calls you a fucking dumbass.

You can still have a discussion about the OP if you want, but don't go making decisions on behalf of other people.

>>125687374
wow you need to stop bringing me up, it's almost like you want me to trip. I never commented on your shite OP polls and I never even voted. I don't give a fuck.

Thanks for making me trip, faggot. Now get off my dick

For what it's worth, I'm the guy who wrote the original angry screed that you guys ended up using in your OP for all that time, and I actually prefer the current OP over mine. It looks much more professional, and less salty. (I was feeling REALLY salty when I wrote the old one.)

>>125688151
>Pro-Squad shilling
Let's see...

>No, for all intents and purposes, KSP should be considered still in early access state.
>Bugs and instability are still real and frequent problems, as with every product still in beta. Ask in thread for details.
>An external team with heavily questionable experience (Flying Tiger Entertainment) is being tasked with porting the game to PS4, XboxOne and Wii U. They seem to be rushing for an imminent deadline and they are also working on a version of the game that will be obsolete in a few weeks/months.
>The general consensus at /kspg/ is that you shouldn't purchase the game, not because the game itself is unplayable, but because most of us agree that Squad does not deserve your money.

Wow, we really want people to get the game, don't we?

TRUMP 2016

>>125688151
>trying this hard.

You bring up a straw poll, you already assume it is valid.
I bring up a straw poll and say "hey, isn't that a bit too old? If you are OK with that one, you are OK with this one where it shows you lose"

I'm giving you the option, since you are the one that started this mess.
You decide, I adapt to your decision.

You decide your straw poll is good? Fine, but then you have to acknowledge the other straw poll too and this discussion ends here because the poll shows your OP loses against the one we are using now. Nothing to decide anymore, kspg already chose.

You decide that both strawpolls need to be disregarded (despite everyone saying you lost anyway)? Fine, then you start proposing your OP again, have it revised in multiple thread at multiple hours so every time zone for several days can see it and then we will look at the results.

But since you are an angry cunt and forced your OP down everyone's throat, nobody will like your new proposal. Get over it.

>>125688638
Wow, just wow.
Do you know how racist he is?
Don't you know that we need free everything?
BERNIE SANDERS 2016!!!!

new rule: you must convene a council in flockmod AND create a strawpoll to reach democractic consensus

BUT, by arguing about this we are letting the shills win, since they want us to weakly question internal policy instead of spinning up the SQUADCAST BURNING

You angry kids are so predictable

How about we all relax?

Last week we were able to make some progress by pointing out that if there's no dev news squadcast is "a kiddie stream with cursing" -- that made him force a few people to go "uhhh I'm working on... stuff" and he got kinda pissy.

He also said questions need to be constructive and he'll answer them, but he didn't realize my question was "Have you contacted B9 to see if he'd be interested in burying the hatchet" so I'm gonna double down on that this week

What pieces of kindling do you guys think will be effective at BURNING SQUADCAST tonight?

>>125697609
Now I wasn't around for when the discussions about the OP changes were going on, but I do remember someone pointing out the old OP sounded crazy enough to get people to not take anything we said seriously.

The current OP of this thread says much the same thing as the old one, but it says it in a way that doesn't make us all out to be incredibly butthurt over the tiniest details, and points out the genuine concerns we all have about the games development. The much more measured and "tone policed" version means people are less likely to outright deny any and all claims made out of a kneejerk reaction to the text sounding like it came from a crazed conspiracy theorist, and are more likely to take the points made into consideration.

If I'm wrong about any of that (since I wasn't around), someone please correct me.

>>125698039
Nope, that's right

>>125698039
There's nothing wrong with tearing the game down in a measured way. There is, however, something wrong with policing your tone - this isn't the fucking subreddit.

Read the OP - it ignores most of the biggest issues about KSP, and reads more like it's trying to appease /kspg/'s opinions on things as opposed to actually saying anything. And to make matters worse, the places where it *does* say anything negative about KSP manages to be vague enough to confuse somebody new coming into the thread.

>>125698891
How is the shit in >>125688528 ignoring the issues?

This can be easily misconstrued as saying that the game *is* in early access. That isn't the case. This is a full release. Treat it as such - that isn't a clever joke, it's adding needless confusion.
>Modified versions of popular mods are being included in the stock game while the game engine is being upgraded to its latest version.
>The next major update (1.1) is supposedly going to bring a complete overhaul of the GUI, be 64bit friendly, have a refined physics/heating/aero model and generally perform better.
By the very act of pretending any of this has happened, not only have we given ammunition against ourselves in the anti-squad discussion, but we've not mentioned the fact that they've claimed numerous times prior to do these very same things, and accomplished none of them.

These things undermine our stance (that KSP is a disaster of a game,) and make us seem less crazy, and more bipolar than anything else.

Oh good lord would you look at the catalog?

>By the very act of pretending any of this has happened

But popular mods have literally been added to the game and they look like they are still going that way.
And about 1.1 there is a nice "supposedly" to make it clear none of that is confirmed.

So what the fuck are you on about?

>>125699548
>This can be easily misconstrued as saying that the game *is* in early access. That isn't the case. This is a full release. Treat it as such - that isn't a clever joke, it's adding needless confusion.
The "every product still in beta" comment comes after the "should be considered still in early access" comment. Anyone who is capable of reading can put the two together, but seeing as there are people such as yourself who are incapable of such daring feats of comprehension it could certainly be reworded to be more clear. Perhaps mentioning that 1.0 was only really leapt to so the game could be sold on GoG could be mentioned, but there is no hard proof of that so such a claim is immediately suspect.

Dude, it's an OP, it has to stay within 2000characters, you can't squeeze every stupid detail. The OP we have now is fine and is enough for someone to have doubts about the game and ask here for details.

It's you who have to tell all those stories to newcomers, not the OP.
The OP has to say "this game has problems, ask for details" and the current one goes a long way in doing that.
The other OP proposed does a shittier job than the old OP at listing all the things you mentioned, so calm your tits and write your own OP for us to see and rate

But he's right you know.
As much as you don't like it, they played their PR cards right and nailed pretty much every review in existence.
They sold a lot, a lot of people enjoy their game and, especially, most people don't give two shits about development or business tactics as long as they are playing something that they think is fun.

Did I care if, say, DICE used their money to buy gold plated lamborghinis? Not in the slightest because I still had BF3 to play, which was a fun game despite all its problems.
Did I care if Rockstar routed their money through offshore banks and noname accounts? Absolutely not, but I had a blast with GTA4, and holy shit the game was far from perfect.
I can go on with every good game I ever played, but hopefully you got the point.

>>125701530
This proves nothing, what's more, they made a forum post or something explaining why they did that and that's the only proof you will ever have.
You can't prove why they did that, you don't have access to their money transfers or their sales report so you are just screaming like a little bitch about something you have literally zero arguments against.
You may say that looks shady, sure,but you can't prove anything

that's true, i'm his inner trump supporter

Can someone explain to a yuropoor what's the deal with trump? I never really cared, I know he's of the racist type that looks more like a comic relief than anything, but what is his actual Program? What outrageous things did he do or say since he started running for presidency?

Just give me a rundown of the political situation with the various candidates

Also Aren't they actually running for presidency no, are they? How does it work? You vote for who gets in charge of the party and all the winners run for president?

>>125712729
Basically, prior to the general election, which actually elects the President, parties usually hold primary elections to determine which of their candidates they'll nominate for President
The deal with Trump, as far as I know, is that the things he says are somewhat outlandish and non-politically correct, but he's scoring miles ahead of everyone else on the polls and is more likely to win the presidency than any other Republican candidates, even though the higher-up Republican party members themselves don't like him

>>125712729

A writeup is three paragraphs or ten pages of text.

Three paragraphs painting broad strokes, ten pages outlining every detail, it is whatever we want it to be.

I'm thinking a few paragraphs starting with small scope and moving outwards to talk about some of the more fundamental issues / missed connections.

Maybe even a paragraph about KSP's lasting future, it's legacy, if you will.

I'm happy to do it alone, but I wanted to offer to share it with you guys because I know for a fact you are smarter and more knowledgable about many aspects of the game.

>>125722018
Interesting, but more a laundry list of issues. I might boil it down and use it as material for a first paragraph discussing current game limitations.

I also see value in bringing up the larger game implications, but I'd rather not harp on how fucked up the current iteration is, and think more about what care be torn down realistically and how to use existing assets to rebuild it.

Then again, they just spent the past 8 mos doing that, then left everything the same.

>>125722515
Remember that it doesn't matter how detailed or well thought out your arguments for whatever might be, if they're not feasible they won't ever be considered. Completely tearing the game down and rebuilding from scratch simply won't happen.

Picking at certain subsystems and rebuilding those individual elements is much more feasible, as is rebalancing existing systems (since that's "just" changing some numbers in configs to a new schema).

What I’ve never understood about ksp is why the devs act like it is a forbidden pleasure — why the secrecy and sudden changes of tack? Why not release every build as a beta and collect feedback for a week before releasing the final version? (they do do this, but they won’t admit it) There’s no reason the people literally willing to work for free can’t collaborate enough to share knowledge with the people writing the base game code. Give Harv a break, take him off code duty, just let the whole thing breathe!

I'm thinking about ksp as an ongoing business. I understand why anything besides "cloning orbiter" is considered haram and I admit I don't entirely believe it myself, but with MP on the way and FT "racing" to get their ports done, it's time to strike out for a new horizon.

Open it all up. Publish the source code. Its value only decays if it is locked away. What do you think the right path forward is?

>>125726386
They are not going to release the source code because the game runs on an engine that isn't theirs to give out the source code of.

>>125726469
So basically unity cucked all of us? Ok I didn't realize that. Where can I read up on it?

>>125726386

>>125727082
>Creating a cheaper-entry renewable revenue stream would solve the "website hits falling off a cliff after 1.0" problem.
The problem is that KSP is an explosion-simulator game for the vast majority of players. The average person isn't going to talk about that to their friends, so the games sales only spike like that due to marketing. 1.0 in particular they had PewDiePie play it and some extra exposure on popular websites and shit.

>>125727326
Good because I post the Kendrick Lamar videos and I'm as white as freshly fallen snow.

>>125727345
Yeah, and that marketing had no sticking power whatsoever. On the other hand "hey, this is what a hohman transfer is, nerd." has a pretty lasting effect [citation needed].

It's not about blowing stuff up. It's about picking each other up by our boosters and struts and teaching one another how fucking scary space is. That's ksp's lasting power.

>>125727732
And no one gives a shit about the rest of the game because the average person doesn't give a shit about learning something slightly difficult, and KSP obscures what there is to learn from it behind godawful tutorials, a shit UI and really shit first-time-player experience (see >>125722018). So people buy it, have some fun exploding things before giving up learning anything and probably 90% of the time dropping it forever.

I'm hoping this discussion can be broken down by someone into something useful for Dr Turkey to go through, because holy shit the game has some big issues. Luckily things like KSPedia in 1.1 will help with some of it.

What videogames do Mexicans play anyway?

What's confusing to you? Just look up how either of the two MP mods work.

It'll just be a gimmick to get people to think they're having more fun with the game than they are, since all recreational things are more fun with others.

>>125729159
yeah, and I'm saying don't just pile it on like another game mode, that's just adding a whole new paradigm to QA every month (now that they are on scrum)

I've used DMP, I found it relatively enjoyable aside from the lack of collisions. I never did see one with mod support. I imagine that will require a new way of loading assets mid game, which from what I gather is impossible now.

Who will respond to abuse complaints? How will they be enforced? These are the questions that confuse me.

You have to bleed the whole system, not just empty the reservoir tank.

Literally remove one of the hoses from the tank and have it drip down into something, the lower you open a hose, the better. Start the engine a few seconds so the pump can empty itself and you can bleed that too.

Once nothing comes out anymore, close everything, fill with new fluid, start the engine and do a lot of turns with the wheel until the pump stops making horrible sounds.

Check back after some days and miles, pull out some of the fluid with the syringe and see if it still looks new. If it doesn't, do the bleed again.

What I.meant was that you should finish the cleaning job or the problem will come up again sooner or later, and it will be worse. Power steering pumps will happily cavitate on the slightest shit and are quite delicate, you don't want that to shit itself all of a sudden while driving.

Do it once so you don't have to do it again, you are now just contaminating what you put in the tank with the rest of the system that still has dirty fluid (and the steering rack has a lot of fluid that you didn't drain).
When it comes to steering, brakes and tires you better not underestimate the problems.

The idea that you have to put X craft in Y orbit to be able to go past Z altitude is fucking stupid and makes zero sense.

The idea of having to send X craft (with science instruments) to Y orbit around Z body to see any info on the body makes more sense. Basically, a discovery system where you don't know shit about your target until you actually fucking go there, rather than the existing system of going to the tracking station, navigating to the planet and seeing everything on the surface in okay detail, and having all the info (like gravity constant etc.) visible to a really high accuracy.

You're not going anywhere, friendo.

Your ideas operate within the currently laid out framework, which I disagree with, but I've said enough about that so let's assume Squad refuses to make drastic changes and we need to operate in this paradigm.

Your claims about contracts are outdated. I think Squad actually implemented some of your ideas, but I don't play career.

I strongly agree with the end game graf though. I've advocated for a gravity lift as a future tier, but I'd honestly settle for stockifying KSPI if that were a possibility. It's by no means perfect but it gets the gist.

The game should certainly get harder. And its most advanced tiers should somewhat dovetail with current technology and theory.

>>125733981
To extend on this, the first thing (and the suggestion of forcing probe missions) is stupid because its doing exactly what the game does now (with arbitrary goals form contracts) but tacks on player punishment and railroading on top of it. You can get the exact same gameplay goal (getting the player to actually explore in measured, planned steps) through a discovery system that lets an experienced player continue to do what they want without penalising them, and giving an inexperienced player some practice with easy goals (like a one-way probe to see if whatever planet has an atmosphere).

>>125733981
I know it makes no sense, but You can fill it with flavour texts, say you need that sat for antennas, or you use it as a telescope or whatever can justify you not being able to go past a certain altitude without some kind of probe that scans the area or something.

it is not that realistic, but it can be one of those early missions where the player familiarises with the fact that he can't go on if he doesn't complete a set of specific missions (on top of the usual contracts).

It is to give you something to do.
Instead of aimlessly going around your planet and its low orbit, you know from the start you will need to put a satellite with X, Y and Z component in a precise-ish orbit or he will be stuck with that planet and its low orbit.

I think what everyone wants to say but is struggling with is "fuck the contracts system"

what if instead of part test contracts every part can be tested in every condition and you gain science whenever you go somewhere new?

>>125734282

>Your claims about contracts are outdated. I think Squad actually implemented some of your ideas, but I don't play career. .

Nope, every single stock contract is optional and can be skipped entirely. Your only limitation is money and you can choose whatever contract you want to get that, but you can just basically pretend it is sandbox, do whatever the hell you like, fullfill random contracts once in a while to get money and the game would go on without a problem.
Nobody forces you to do anything in career. It is literally limited sandbox with side quests

I thought someone said something about a rep hit when you decline them. I guess I heard wrong.

For the record I don't disagree with any of that. Gated-off features does not a career mode make.

If the point of the game is to restore it to Sandbox mode, you're just applying arbitrary limitations on yourself in a merely self-harmful way.

>>125734282
>The game should certainly get harder. And its most advanced tiers should somewhat dovetail with current technology and theory.
(from the pastebin)
>Difficulty should not decrease as the game progresses, it should increase.
I read something the other day on /agdg/ or /tg/ or somewhere about game difficulty and scaling with the player in terms of "flow", it had a neat graph to show what I'm about to explain. The ideal system of difficulty is one where the player is always challenged by something as their skill level increases. If the game is harder than they can cope with they get frustrated and enjoy it less (see early career mode), if the game is easier than what the player can cope with they get bored and enjoy it less (see end-game career).

The problem lies in that you can't make the game harder with planets further out (more gas giants etc) since all that does is increase dV costs. You could argue that this might make the rocket design/building side harder and you may be right, but on the flying side its the same shit. Another point is that the way the engines are currently balanced with the tech tree (higher tech is always better) just leads to making the game easier when the player is also getting better at it, without also giving the player any decent challenge to go along with those things.

An end-game goal like a warpdrive (as suggested in the pastebin) that requires some amount of infrastructure in odd places and a fair bit of science would be great after they have it, but acquiring it might become a grind in that period where gameplay isn't challenging to the player.

>>125735390
Yes you get a rep penalty for declining or failing contracts and for killing kerbals, but that only has an impact on the kind of contracts that are offered (low rep = boring shit with low money gain) and nothing else.
You are really not limited by reputation, contracts will still spawn and some high reward contract will always be present even if you intentionally go as low with rep as you can.

>>125735774
There's actually a specific admin strategy designed around avoiding contracts and getting more funds from the "world first" rewards.

>>125735550
What does "difficulty" mean once you can achieve orbit, dock, and make interplanetary burns?

>higher rocket efficiency
>more lifting power

that's what I aim to optimize. Beyond that, I'd want a way to standardize lifters and better organize missions and crafts.

What do you guys aim to optimize when you build?

Here's a version of the diagram. You could say point 1 is early career and point 2 is late career. If you google "game flow difficulty diagram" you can see a bunch of similar ones.
>>125735947
That's the problem with KSP. Flight gameplay can be mastered pretty quickly (it comes down to gaining orbit, doing transfers and doing rendezvous), design/build gameplay is hampered by lack of planning tools (like showing dV/TWR etc), exploration gameplay is limited by everything being visible from the start (see >>125734439 about discovery mechanics) and really bland planetary surfaces, and planning gameplay is almost nonexistant due to the lack of tools to help it (like dV maps, transfer windows and porkchop plots etc.).

>>125736693
That's an interesting graph.

>>125736954
Do you agree with what I'm going on about with it though?

>>125736693
What's funny is the "lel exploding rockets" school-of-though doesn't allow for that calm retrospection, and probably is related to why those who are told this is an explosion simulator don't become loyal fans [see 1.0 web traffic], so yes I do agree with what you're saying.

But the trick is to turn the cadence from "build/fly/build/fly" to adding a space ops component. The "endgame" so-to-speak

>>125735947
Difficulty, for me, mainly means dealing with craft design.
As the other anon said, parts get universally better as you progress, which actually makes ship easier to make (one big engine instead of multiple weaker ones, less fuel to bring because new engines all get better Isp, etc).

At the end of the tech three you will be basically always be using the mainsail to launch and the nukes/ions to go to other planets, leaving most of the parts unused.

What I like of early careers is having to deal with the limits of parts. Do I really want this big an powerful engine or can I do with more smaller ones that are cheaper and lighter but will burn more fuel? Do I want a pod that can seat more people and be heavy as fuck or do I use more smaller pods but end up with a taller and more unstable rocket because of multiple stacked parts vs a single part? Do I bring more batteries and add weight or bring less and risk draining all the charge when I can't use panels (like during reentry)?
Stuff like that adds difficulty, it makes you take risks in one direction (like rjsk draining batteries) to make your life easier in another direction (less batteries = less weight and more dV).
As you unlock parts you take less and less risks because every part is simply better at doing everything.

Newer part should be only better at one thing, but be worse at something else, not better at everything.

fuck, I get it now.

It's hard to put your finger on, but... it's like the incentive and the challenge have been inverted.

The "fun" comes from making do with few parts. The "challenge" is unlocked when you succeed a lot.

The game de-facto gets "less fun" the more you achieve, incentivizing stalling in the progression and playing a tiny portion of the game.

I'm getting tired. I might fall asleep soon.

>>125737847
The difficulty curve is backwards and the games goals are messed up.

I didn't touch the game since .90, but then I saw KSPI was updated for 1.05 and gave it a try.
I added a bunch of contracts mods, Remote Tech, a couple of part mods and various utilities and, honestly, I'm having a blast again.

If you like career give it a shot, there are other good career mods out there and they are pretty much all updated.
If you are a sanbox guy, then I can't help you
