First Major Expansion For Kerbal Space Program 2 - 'FOR SCIENCE'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- KSP2 has had a troubled initial launch, being perhaps too early for early access despite the premium price tag, now we get the first major update and this goes a long way to adding a purpose to your rocket building, but, lacking purpose has rarely been the issue.

For somebody whose motto us "Fly Safe", there were significant safety concerns with that flyover of the KSC.
I had to go back and listen to that part a second time because the first time I was waiting for him to crash. 😄
Do as he says, not as he does. XP
right, there's a Top Gun joke in there somewhere, "Manley's ego is writing checks his body can't cash"? "Tower, this is Ghost Manley requesting a flyby".
Wasn't he on layth? With that safe he was flying?
I really hope KSP 2 can eventually emerge from the shadow of KSP 1. It'll probably just take a while, if it does.
I hope so too, but the game needs to focus on better performance and curbing bugs. Those were the largest issues in KSP as far as I'm concerned...
Neat graphics sure are neat, but when my craft can't be more than medium sized due to FPS going down the drain or my craft constantly runs into issues with the physics engine or whatever, I don't care if the games looks neat.
I want a stable and smooth running game, not a beautiful powerpoint presentation
It almost certainly won't ever get there. Look into the background of the studio developing it and it's obvious the whole thing is drastically short of talent and money. The more doomed a project is in the eyes of the audience, the studio, and the developers the more toxic it becomes; the more toxic it is the less the chance it gets the talent or money to climb out its hole.
@@QuantumHistorian How can they be short of talent and money when the original KSP was such monumental success?
@@mateuszbugaj799 Not the same people. Look into it.
The problem is that KSP 2 is in almost all ways infieror to KSP1
They finally fixed the noodle rockets which was a major issue, especially when they have goals of colony building, and interstellar stuff
The improvements and current updates brings them much closer to KSP1. Now they need to punch out the existing problems of Krakan attacks.
These monument missions remind me of your "Interstellar Quest" series on KSP from 10 years ago. They're the reason I got in to KSP in the first place :)
thank you for making me feel old...
Ouch 10 years ago😵💫
Oh I'm loving these missions. Just a bit of lore to go with your rockets. It's also very 2001 ASO.
I'm a bit torn on the one button science experiment solution. I do enjoy mucking about in EVA to do science in KSP 1, but not enough to have to do the same thing literally hundreds of times, so mitigating that is welcome. On the other hand, I feel like just pushing a button is too far in the other direction. I hope they find a good middle ground, like having to design systems that allows this automation and having to do it manually if you can't or don't do it, or at least make it more involved.
Either way, it's good to see the game finally heading in the right direction after its launch that reminded me of my first KSP rockets.
maybe just a specific set of experiments that need eva interacgion?
@@ibiuld443 Or parts with robot arms than can interact with its immediate surroundings, like experiment modules, or the surface or atmosphere of things you land on or attach to. If you had to have that, or other equipment like that, to automate science with a button, I'd be perfectly fine with it.
Some of the experiments require you to be in a given environment for a couple minutes at a time. For example, an atmospheric analysis test that takes 2 minutes means you need to be in flight above a specific biome for that amount of time to get the results (and if you accidentally slip into another biome you can go back and the timer won’t reset)
With KSP1, you had the option of adding all your science experiments to an action key, which almost make then single click.
I am a bit disappointed how they seem to want to dumb it down in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience.
I want them to take out, tactically redistribute the science points from low atmosphere/high atmosphere EVAs. KSP is supposed to have a lil quirk to it but having Jeb hang onto the ladder as the rocket is piercing through to space is more of a pain in the butt than it should be
The performance changes turned the game from a slide show to playable for me. Actually got to enjoy the game for the first time tonight, without fearing my poor pc would blow up x3
Feel better soon Scott and Happy Holidays! Thanks for the great summary!
"It's certainly no worse than the original"
Yea that's what we waited 10 years to hear.
"Now gib money"
You did not wait 10 years for that. You waited 4 max since 2019 announcement. And even then it's a stretch.
KSP2 will probably totally replace KSP1 in a matter of 1-2 years, specially if mods start to happen now there's an actual campaign.
KSP 2 is still worse then vanilla KSP 1.0, and devs might be just able to catch up in those 2 years to 1.12, if they continue to work on game at all. Mods will take even konger. We might be able to see these 2 compete on equal terms in 3-4, and i doubt 2nd will ever totally replace first one.
@@lordbaysel3135 KSP2 is not like Starship, they'll eventually get better
@@LordSesshaku Not gonna happen anytime soon... Copy/paste can only go so far, when they'll need to actually pull their fingers out of their asses and create something new in KSP2 I can see they'll hit a wall already.
At least they started hiring competent people to pick up this mess and make it work better but there's still a very long way to go...
My biggest pet peeve with KSP 2 was how they went so heavy on the visuals they left everything that truly mattered for fun in the dust. On launch how a 3 part ship would destroy itself just left a bad taste in my mouth after multiple years of cinematics and interviews just to have a 10000 polygon kerbal
Right?
If I wanted to look at something pretty I would look at a painting.
If I want to have fun it requires a functioning game
The long running failure of game development period.
@@Vagabond820
Yeah, and now we've got to a point where high framerates can be achieved only with DLSS or other upscaling tools. Ridiculous.
The games are not about visuals, it's gameplay, story, etc. that matters. What was the last game successful fully thanks to its outstanding visuals?
@@danylopavlusyk462 Myst.
The flame visuals on that re-entry looked worse than KSP and the textures on the parts aren't all that nice. The world looks nicer though.
I'll be excited to play this in 2 or so years when it hopefully will reach parity with KSP1..
With the For Science! update, I finally bought the game. The performance updates were significant so that my rig (i5-10500, 65 gig RAM, GPU: RTX 2060) could handle it. I'm getting a very smooth 80-90 FPS on medium settings. I set clouds and shadows to LOW, because I really don't care for those as high-texture. I have about 2000 hours in KSP1, so was looking forward to KSP2.
sidebar: I think it's a nice tribute to Scott that the default name for any spacecraft is "Fly Safe"
I am really enjoying FOR SCIENCE. I haven't really touched KSP 2 since it launched due to no science or career mode. It makes so much difference to actually have goals and limited parts.
KSP2 still doesn't seem like it's at the level where I'll be spending much time on it... but given that significant progress is now being made, I actually dare to have hope for the game again. Mostly I'm very eager for mod support and for the new planetary systems. The previews of Debdeb looked amazing. But it still needs more optimisation too.
While I do think this is a step in the right direction, I still feel that with the amount of content in this update (outside of bugfixes and stat changes) and how much it was hyped up, this feels like a "meeting that could have been an e-mail" type of update to put on the roadmap, especially when put alongside stuff like "orbital assembly & space colonies" and "adding a whole new star system"
I kinda wish they went the RP-1 way of doing science with kerbalism and real antennas. I get it’s a major diversion from the original but I find it much more interesting
Yeah, use that 60 bucks and donate them to modders of the original game, the sole existance of Take2 having the rights of KSP has doomed both games forever.
3:35 this "dance" is what gave the old game its charm. having to have multiple buckets on your lander to put duplicate expirements in for your multiple science labs in orbit was just so much fun.
Still seems very early access, looking forward to more improvements.
Right?
Reminder this launched over a year ago too.
@@MysteriousStranger50 --- Some Steam games have been in early access for years, some nearly a decade.
@@MysteriousStranger50 It launched in February. That's under a year ago.
@@Liofa73 yeah, but most early access games dont launch at full price
Maybe because it IS early EA?
This is definitely a step in the right direction, having a strong sense of progression makes the game much more enjoyable. KSP 1 was fun to play through career mode where you had to manage not only the budget, purchase upgrades, and also do science experiments. I'd like KSP 2 to have the same one day. Along with of course all the new promised interstellar stuff and colonies too.

*Matt Lowne has entered the chat
My total playtime in KSP2 prior to "For Science!" was about 3 hours. The first day after its release, it became 9 hours. Feels a lot more like a game now
Lol hows that "game" going? You save state still useable? Having constant crashes yet? Figured out how to manuevre with a dv calculator or nodes you can trust?
@@durbeshpatel3047 the game obviously has issues still, including most notably phantom orbit decay when loading a save, the stack separators don't work, and burns that go across multiple stages; my original comment is still true, because I am sticking with it when I have a goal to progress the science tree
@@RC386spectre how can you stick with a goal you cannot achieve? The game is literally unplayable, you get random game braking, corrupted saves/craft files, and you cannot plan anything or any redundancy. Simply making it to the mun is up to chance regardless of your engineering
@@durbeshpatel3047 I seem to be achieving it alright, don't know what to tell you. About halfway through Tier 3 now, launching a mission to Eve.
@@durbeshpatel3047much as i dislike the "works on my machine" reply, I've been playing the game for the past several days; the game hasn't crashed once, and i havent encountered any bugs that i haven't been able to rectify by reloading a save from a few minutes prior. The ability to save and load the game on the fly no matter what state your craft is in makes it a lot easier to resolve smaller hiccups, so its certainly playable.
Even then, I reload due to my own user error far more than i do to gamebreaking bugs. I've been thoroughly enjoying the game in its current state and am very excited for future patches if they continue in this manner.
In my opinion this is exactly what KSP2 should have been at launch
A very first version like this one would have been okish. But the game is still horrible performance wise, but that is fault of usign UNITY on a game with attempt for real graphics.
lol I mentioned this in a twitter thread and got absolutely flamed. So much of the hype for this game is dead after launch that sadly I think most people wont even pick up the game after the update. Which is a huge shame because I personally love it.
I mean its still worse than ksp1 and buggy as hell. Its literally still a demo
Performance is still terrible. If I want to fight a game engine again ill stick with ksp1... its obvious the game will be unplayable the moment you start building big stations... just like ksp1
@@hushcash8920I didn’t bought it yet. And I think I will wait another year. But I will watch a couple new vids about KSP2 and see if it’s maybe worth buying now. It’s reduced in price till 27.12
Jumping out of a capsule mid-ascent to make crewman observations was part of the character of the game, it's so over the top that it could only happen in KSP...
Really wish they would put back in the ksp1 maneuver control panel so I don’t have to constantly fiddle with the map view to try to keep the maneuver node control AND my target on the map at the same time… also would be nice if the manuever’s APo and Per values were always visible while setting up the maneuver as well instead of making me right click on the markers every single time (again trying to keep them visible along with everything else as I’m trying to plot a trajectory).
Conduct above and beyond, Scott, putting out a vid when you're feeling crap. Respect, dude! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
@0:57 That graph in Mission Control reminds me a lot of your SME Startup Flow Rate and Control Loop graph!
When KSP2 was announced, the two things I was really looking forward to:
Better performance
less bugs
Well. Glad I didn't pay full retail price for a glorified alpha version that's very slowly making its way towards maybe coming close to the original KSP eventually.
ye, and since you knew beforehand that it will be an Alpha it's pathetic to whine about it since it is aaaall your fault if you bought it because you couldn't wait
so Stop Whining
@@enisra_bowman He said he is glad he didnt buy it. Especially at the price for an alpha
@@enisra_bowman
Slight misunderstanding here: I didn't buy KSP2 and I am thus far seeing _nothing_ that makes me even want to contemplate buying it on sale... not even when it's eventually _finished._
When it came out, I refused to buy it exactly cause it is a rip-off with a shitton of red flags. All this made me assume the game was much more likely going to be a company cashing out quickly on the hype and then never delivering a full game.
I'm fine with the horrendeous pre-alpha state of the game. I'm even fine with selling it in this state for a certain price.
But asking full retail price for something as broken and unfinished as KSP2 is where I draw the line.
Sell it cheaply as Early Access in a broken state.
Sell it at a regular price in a working state.
Don't sell it at a regular price in a completely broken state.
@@enisra_bowman It wasn't marketed as alpha. Possibly a beta, although I don't quite think the marketing made that clear if it actually was noted as such at the time. And not to mention the game was supposed to have released as finished over a year earlier than the shitshow that did release.
@@enisra_bowmanbad opinion, take a shower
We choose to try landing This plane not because it's easy but because I didn't do the math and we are out of gas.
damn i used to love having to go out of the ship while in orbit, that stuff was the best part of science mode..
Just wanted to say thank you for your tutorials on orbital redevoiz... I saved my Kerbal that was in a decaying orbit, out of fuel in his jet pack too. He was clipping the atmosphere at 66,000 m so it was just a matter of time before Jeb Burns up. Managed it without any monopropellant or rcs thrusters being unlocked too!
The issue with KSP 2 is that they launched with a loooot of stuff that KSP 1 had missing entirely or being worse.
This is a no-go for a sequel and this core issue still isn't close to fixed. But having the exploration mode is a first step in the right direction. I really hope they turn this around and dont take too long doing it.
In my opinion this first big content patch took way too long to come out.
The issue with KSP2 is that they released a buggy, feature-poor version of the game that was arguably not even ready for early access, at a near-AAA price point. Since they already had an established audience, they knew they would cannibalize their future sales if they released at a fair price (as opposed to the typical early access title that grows its audience organically as the game gets closer to release, with incremental price increases), but rather than simply skipping early access and releasing a finished game at full price, they tried to have their cake and eat it too. It has backfired spectacularly on them.
@@caconym358They destroyed the KSP 1 development team and seized the rights to the brand. After which they fed everyone with promises and beautiful videos. As a result, they released a buggy and slow piece of garbage, with much less content than in the old game. But there are many plans for monetization.
Do you still believe in AAA publishers?
@@caconym358Everything you just said is a Take Two problem, not an Intercept Games problem.
Only a moron would think this would launch with everything included in ksp 1 v1.12.5 with 12 years of updates.
Looking Forward to your honest and public view of how KS2 been going and if it's a worthy title in a video.
Love that your landing-cam around Devil's Tower took the same route as the explorers in Steven Spielberg's Mystery Science Theater 3000... i mean Close Encounters of the Third Kind
I'd love to see you do a series of KSP or KSP2, like your favourite real life missions, or recreate NASAs ongoing Artemis missions.
I may be saying something you already know but Scott did run a massive KSP series with Interstellar mod. If you did not see it yet, I cannot recommend highly enough.
Scott did a whole series with the Realism Overhaul mod for KSP 1 whilst talking about real missions, search for "Kerbal Spaceships Are Serious Business"
People have done it all in ksp1 just search
Wow when he was landing by that arch he was getting like 5 fps max. That will be filed under entirely unplayable.
I just got it and I'm actually positively surprised by the performance, I got like 80-100 fps maxed out on 1440x3440 with a 5600x and an rtx 3080. I mean it's a good computer but when I hear bad performance I think of cities skylines 2 levels of bad.
I have a 1660 Super and on the Munar surface I’m consistently getting like 40fps with the medium graphics preset, not sure why Scott’s footage was so choppy tbh.
Yeah fps is great, must be something on his end.
Scott replied, to someone else saying the same thing as you, with: "No it was way smoother for me, I don't know what was up with that."
my goodness that framerate at 7:30. This update looks really good, I'm just concerned with performance now on my ageing rig. Having also seen it all and already looking ahead to the next update after just 12 hours is a little worrying...
8:00 Wow, didn't know PowerPoint could be so pretty!
10:00 A speed run thru would be awesome!!!
Man, I would love to see Squad back on KSP. 😢
7:41 Jesus. I don't think I'm going to come back to KSP2 just yet. I mean, WOW that's bad
The most disappointing wait for a game I’ve ever had.
I am a hardcore ksp1 player, bought this game and returned it immediately. Waiting for multiplayer. Ksp1 is still my fav
I preferred having the option to manually take out the science from modules, gave a physically to the task
Hope you feel better Scott!
It's going to get there....slowly but surely. I look forward to playing it
Community activity surrounding the original from Squad was so good it couldn't be excluded.
... Thank you Take Two.
KSP2 is an example of development via updates ... and how it doesn't work.
Been playing ksp2 since the update and I’m very happy with it so far!!! Glad to see you back to your roots with this video. Hope you continue to produce ksp2 vids!
all in all, they absolutely nailed this update. For the first time I'm genuinely excited to play this. I love the way they've changed science collection/reporting. The tech tree, while not perfect, is definitely better organized than in KSP1 (side note: REALLY glad they changed the starting parts to have a liquid engine. The whole single Flea booster starter rocket from KSP1 got very old).
Re-entry heating needs some tweaking, I think. The visuals are clearly not in a finished state, with some pretty harsh, jagged edges, and I've run into a couple of parts getting very near blowing up even at 65km in Kerbin's atmosphere at near-orbital speeds. That said, I'm glad it's finally in the game.
I do have to admit that I agree with Scott that they may have over-corrected just a tad with the wobbly rockets band-aid fix, as I haven't seen anything even barely start to flex, even with radial boosters and very tall vertical stacks. It honestly feels almost like using the Kerbal Joint Reinforcement mod from KSP1, where it feels like the entire ship is now just 100% rigid. I'd much rather it be a little too rigid than too wobbly, though. The days of needing to aggressively strut together parts in a vertical stack are finally over.
its still very much baby steps and idk if i like how simplistic it looks, but having to land at those weird monuments and having them slowly be revealed to you is a very cool feature.
And some of them are completely new to this update and weren’t in the trailer either, so I was definitely shocked to find some of them for the first time
@Scott: Mint tea with honey during away times; Camoille tea with honey when wanting naps.
Get well soon Scott. Science and, more importantly, us geeks, need you!
not sure how much better its gotten since its disasters launch, but I will wait for at least another year before I think of buying it.
I just landed Val within ”walking distance” from stone mun arch. By walking distance i mean 12km away 😂
Just what you wanna hear before the new year
8:15
While they are technically optional, they give such an enormous amount of science it's kind of hard to ignore the missions. They help you push through the tech tree quite quickly.
Seeing you land the plane in rought terrain at night made me think a night vision mode would be nice
honestly, it hurts to see the biggest issues of ksp 2 haven't been fixed yet. Makes me doubt that they will ever be fixed.
I almost think the studio will stop at some point, unless sales are good enough. They completely misjudged who their audience was and after a year after release to still be lagging behind KSP 1 just means they made the wrong choices to begin with. At some point the interest will just be gone and everyone will still play version 1.
I.... Don't think so. Remember that current party is still ONLY what have kap 1, but moment we see colonies, resources and interstellar, this is what will bring back interest.
Another pair of shoes will be multiplayer.
They have good sales people and influencers, the price is outrageous for what it is but overall it might be enough to get some people to buy it still.
Explain 'good sales' .... please.
@@Johan-rm6ec good sales people, salesman if you prefer. To promote the game and make people believe "the game is fixed". But truth is, 9 months later, orbital mechanics still aren't working and the new features introduced in the last update such as atmospheric heat effects and science mod are barely working (or not working at all for some cases).
In any case, this game isn't worth any amount of money asked at the moment, it should be some internal build for now.
Eula is a no-go, so everything else realy does not matter.
This is the mode I’ve been waiting for. I like having a goal like leveling up. I’m not much of a sandbox fan
Don't you ever say they dialed back the wobble too much! Don't you ever say that again, Scott Manley! Also, happy holidays and cheers.
KSP2’s science system looks very similar to Kerbalism, and I’m all for that- science that isn’t instantaneous and physical samples that have to be returned to Kerbin are two key parts of Kerbalism’s science system, and there’s also the possibility that more complex experiments could require more specific parameters to work (inclination, eccentricity, altitude etc.) in KSP2 which is something Kerbalism also does well, both in “stock” and RP-1 guises.
This looks like a big step in the right direction, the game actually has a purpose now and the continued efforts to fix bugs and improve performance are always a good thing.
Get well, Scott!
Personally I think now "tech tree" is inferior to the original. New one was presented as a big innovation but the original one also has tiers unlocked by upgrading R&D building.
Original tree gives player the choice: unlock bigger parts to have easier time launching huge crafts to a distant bodies, or focus on science parts, use probes to keep launch crafts smaller, assemble interplanetary transfer vehicles in orbit via docking, etc. While the new one forces player to unlock part of the "tree" linearly to get to advanced tech nodes.
Also nodes in the original tech tree can have multiple parents and can require any parent nodes or all of them to be unlocked before it can be unlocked. So far KSP2 doesn't seem to have this feature.
It's good that they continue to optimize and developed the game, but I've lost hope long ago.
Please do an oldschool ksp2 episode with some landing challenges! Like old times with the headphones on one ear and a tasty beer.
Ten years of waiting for ksp 1 to be finished, and they want us to do it again. But this time there is already a completed, functional game to compare to.
After a long time not playing I'm back having fun with this update. Got about 75% of the tech tree unlocked without using the cheat menu. Now I have to go back to some of my old saves and see if they fixed docking and undocking, I spent forever trying to get an Apollo style mission to work but always had to avoid docking because things would go boom, had to do EVAs to get the crew in and out of the lander.
"We will not use autostrut, as it is not a long term solution" -nate
Tim was having problems with trying to land a booster last night. It went missing. So getting his kerbil to land the booster or run auto pilot failed.
Yes please Scott. More KSP missions, or as I like to say, "what did you do in the holidays".
To each their own, I guess. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Scott. All the best for 2024.
Feel better soon...and Mele Kalikimaka!
I wish I could feel something other than vague indifference towards this game. All I wanted was a fixed physics engine that ran smoothly, I couldn't care less about the graphics.
Space Engineers 2 is starting to pique my interest though, saw some very interesting clips of the water simulation they are working on.
“Maybe a bit to much”
NOOO!!!
There is still flavor text for science experiments. It's in the research inventory menu when you're in flight.
It seems like a lot of the experts only have a generic text in the research inventory menu, with orbital reports and surfaces samples being the only major exceptions.
The one thing I need from KSP2 is co-op science/tech campaign play...and easily modable campaigns, because the mods in KSP1 for science and the downloadable tech trees and that just didn't provide a useful new tech and campaign experience starting from the beginning, they were always sort taped to the side of the original, flawed, tech tree and mostly just made everything too easy by adding options but not segmenting them in any interesting way on the tech tree..
It sounds like I should get KSP v1, but I want to confirm with other experts here.
We have two kids in the family, one a freshman in HS and the other last year in middle school. So project out 3 years. If I could only get ONE version of KSP and we are thinking 3 years ahead. Is it better to get v1 or v2 if you just want a game to teach orbital mechanics? Comments?
Definitely KSP1. You have a mod for every occasion so what you get vanilla can be changed massively to suit your needs to. KSP2 should keep. They have a ton of issues to resolve with a new version.
KSP 1 at the moment is the much better game, and I think will probably stay the better game. You don’t need the promise interstellar travel, they’ll still put hundreds of hours into KSP1 and learn so much about orbital mechanics etc
@@TheBlogOfJosh There are a couple of mods that are completely reworking aerodynamics and could be very educational also.
If you’re thinking that far ahead, odds are they’ll earn their own money (if they’re anything like typical high schoolers who have a part time gig) and will be able to afford 2 on their own.
@@sphaera2520 Both are into Minecraft, but I'm considering getting them KSP now.
And yes the older one will be working in a restaurant this summer.
Hope you feel better soon mate.
Very telling is at the end when he says he's put 12 hours into the update and hes already thinking about what the next update is going to be.
Heck, I didn't know even know it launched.
I'd buy KSP 2 for its current price if it was simply a promised new solar system added to the original KSP with all its mod support and so on.
its so nice to see you play kerbal space program 2!
Love the graphics on KSP2, but im going to stick with KSP1 for a while yet
KSP2 and the people behind it have expended every single bit of good will I had. It's not really a question of whether or not it's worth my time anymore, even.
Probably too early, but I bet a lot of people will really love a new Interstellar Quest on Ksp2
What chaps my butt is that they seemed to polish everything except the most crucial stuff. Is having an animation play when you earn science really a better use of resources than getting the game to play above 30fps on computers that cost less than three thousand dollars? Actually, can anyone get 60fps with a 'median' rocket launching?
That's... probably because a very different people doing it and one who was doing the sound had no knowledge or access to core features. So...
Probably because more fundamental issues require dredging up more code to troubleshoot it, and make sure it doesn’t break anything on top of it.
There are so many amazing 3rd party KSP 1 mod; KSP 2 has a matterhorn summit of things to overcome.
Interstellar Extended 2, Planetary Bases, and so many other mods for KSP1...and yet if KSP2 does things correctly it could be 10x the game.
Only time will tell.
I bought KSP2 today after waiting since release. And from a software developer's perspective, I'm shocked at how buggy the game still is. It feels like an early beta and not like it's been in EA for nearly a year.
I have been unable to complete a single Mission because of bugs that arise at some point during the flight. I mean one or two aborted flights would be okay but it's literally every single time I do something I have to stop and start over because a major feature of the game has just bombed on me
Congratulations, you've been conned by advertisement.
@@angelainamarie9656are you sure were playing the same game? The bugs I’ve experienced are mostly minor and none of them have been absolute showstoppers so far, and I’m well into doing interplanetary missions in my exploration save file
The only thing I care about with KSP2 is whether they have fixed the engine issues from KSP1. That was the entire reason for making KSP2 wasn't it? Them adding features from KSP1 with zero innovation is not enough to get me to pay $70 (cdn), especially since adding this, which should have been there are launch, took nearly a year. That does not bode well for the future of this game and that makes me very sad.
This update really has been an amazing addition, or as others say: what KSP 2 should have been at launch.
I've done all missions around Mun and Minmus, the german translation is quite good and punny, and although i stumbled upon several bugs, only one of them was severe enough to crash my lander (phantom forces decaying my orbit as if Mun had an atmosphere 🤨 ), and somehow fixed itself after 3 quick reloads.
All other bugs i happened to come across were very minor and i had a lot of fun. I'd say KSP 2 is now as good as KSP 1 stock, no mods, but with better visuals and sound.
I am still hesitant to purchase KSP2 because of the mess when they moved over to Private Division.
They lost me when they couldn’t release a hot fix for 30 days after a full priced launch.
I feel like everyone is sick rn 🤒 get well soon and fly safe commander Manley
Unfortunately Kerbal 2 is complete trash because of how they did it. The performance is horrific, no big ships at all. And with how it is built, there is no fixing it without a complete rebuild. It is dead on arrival for me. Really sad.
Did Scott finally talk about KSP again? Been waiting forever for a video from you about KSP
that frame rate looks painfull at time given the GPU/CPU you are running.
What are his current specs?
It has improved already compared to the first release.
In a year or 2 it might be more optimized as it's still early access.
@@Voyajer.like 12th gen i7 and 3080 or so iirc?

It's not accurate
For science was always going to be a stepping stone update. Since its a pre-existing feature from the first game.

This section i just cannot agree to.
Thats a boilerplate EULA for all of T2’s games, for KSP it really hasn’t amounted to anything
it is not an expansion/DLC. It is an update (all updates are free or are DLCs)
We liked reading the science reports because everyone installed 'Crowd Sourced Science' and then forgot it was installed.
Those flames on re-entry... comical! No, like seriously straight out of a comic. :)
