>KSP without mods

Being epic exclusive would be a disaster for these spics, since they took the Bethesda approach with their first game and Epic seems like it would be shitty for mods. Can you still get the first game without steam from their site?

I played KSP when it got first posted on Yea Forums, before the game had other planets or moons to visit and even getting to space was hard, and I haven't looked back since

Why though? WHYYYYYYYYY?
There is no reason for a sequel to be made.

Ksp is alpha in comparision to ksp 2 desu.

post feet satch

Absolutely no way Tim isn't snatching this one up.

Exactly. But the question was not why KSP still is largely unfinished (arguably), the question was why KSP2 exists to begin with. It is for the same reason nuDOOM had to exist; Zenimax cant make money off of re-selling an open source game from 20 years ago and 2k/take2 cant make money off of a jank physics engine that's been on sale by Brazilians for 10 years now.

KSP is now owned by Take-Two, are their games Epic exclusives?

The original KSP devs now work for Valve, so I guess no new game will ever be made from them.

Bitch I've been shitposting about this game and a ragtag bunch of Mexicans since 20fucking11.

I can make this in KSP already though, why would I be interested in a sequel

Not enough water

If they actually redevelop the game from the ground up, I wouldn't mind paying full price for it.
Then again it could also be a shoddy cashgrab, I'll reserve judgment until the thing is actually out

KSP has been shitposting for years though

Most assuredly.

Becuase it's shiny and new and they made a trailer with epic music.

so, is the general coming back?

in the sequel you can fly to other solar systems with it

Just pirate it like everybody else.

SQUAD is so hilariously corrupt and incompetent that only a complete fucking moron would give them any money.

If they add multicore support, better optimization, new and custom (procedural) parts, colonization and new solar systems I am sold.

They already confirmed there is colonization and new solar systems, they already showed new parts (nuclear pulse engine for example). All we need to see is the performance.

He was talking about the first KSP which SQUAD still gets a cut of every sale iirc.

It's also been many years since I was involved with the game, so I could be wrong.

Are the /vg/ filters still autosaging any attempts? I can't imagine any good would come of letting that party start again.

i don't really mind it because its a literal new game that wasn't announced first on steam, like 90% of the other games Epic nabbed.

Put your trip on Max

>/kspg/
Oh god. I hope we will avoid this shit for this time

Mods are comfirmed for this.
Nice.

because it seems to have all the stuff the mods do from the get go. This means that they are integrated into the game and optimized to run without problem, which sounds good, but we'll have to see if its true.

>the question was why KSP2 exists to begin with.
sometimes its easier to start something new from the ground up, than to deal with several years of spaghetti code.

Speaking of KSP. They released new addon after Making History. Is it worth replaying game?

Its just wacky moving parts.

so what new things do you think the new devs will add? dedicated mod tools?

SCAWT MANLEH

almost like conspiracy theorists form their views on emotions without evidence

What actually happened is that the devs kinda of abandoned the game for a while, with the game getting fewer and fewer updates, more bugs and the posters started to complain about the cut content like no resources and multiplayer while the space mexicans started ti jew the player base with catchphrases like "unity not us" and the russian dude behind b9 couldn't stop asking for satchs feet which attracted a cabal of attention whore tranny posters and a zoophifag who used to post pics of him molesting his cat and the original posters abandoned the general which ending zombieing out for about a year to the point that there was nothing remotely related to space being discussed and the mods decided to finally ban it the End.

I learned so much about orbital mechanics from KSP

I work in shipping so I don't know how I will ever use any of it

Check projectrho if you want to learn more about hard sf and shiet. Don't become pseudo intellectual tho

>tfw they baited me into buying the first one during the summer sale
NOOOOOOOOOOO

KSP 1 is a great game, but the engine itself has some serious flaws:
>no multicore support at all
>runs internaly in 32 bit
>graphics are not that good
>kraken always around the corner
The game is great, but its engine is pretty much maxed out and unrelieable.
Any serious player gets issues when launching big ships as all the calculations for aerodynamics, engines, kinetics etc. are done on just one single core.
Single digit framerates during launch are often expected at this point when your parts count got a little high.

To fix all of this, they have to use a different engine, wich basicly means starting from ground up again aka new game.

Simple, space shipping!

WTF?!?!?!? the first was fucking perfect, imagine a second KSP, good shit

Mexican'ts never finished the game.

Stupid faggot and everyone else who bought this bait. KSP is way too popular and the nerds behind it way to interested in having everyone play it to succumb to any exclusivity bullshit.

>different dev
People might shit on Squad but they did make KSP what it was. It's highly unlikely another dev will manage to replicate that.

I dunno dude, we did so many stupid things I can't see this going any way but up.

This is the biggest station I've ever made, and it was solid as fuck because I used that mod that makes things more stiff, but my fps dropped to 5 when I went anywhere near it.

It was so unwieldy I gave up the idea of making stations and land bases (from those mods)

>KSP is way too popular and the nerds behind it way to interested in having everyone play it to succumb to any exclusivity bullshit.
what is borderlands

If they have solid multicore support and make full use of modern accelerated high precision operations I'd have zero problems paying full price for it day 2 (not day 1 because I want user reviews to verify this first).

I'm mildly worried though that they'll insist on still supporting toasters from forever ago which will cripple it. At least the timeframe means that maybe consoles won't destroy things for once, 2020 launch means it might be for the PS5 & XTwo and thus have Zen 2 as a baseline there, which would mean that hardware instruction level support will be about the same as PC would be, even if clocked lower.

>Doesn't matter what the devs want.
Depends on what their contract says. Not every publisher is a gigantic mega behemoth that controls every aspect of what they publish user. Developers are in fact quite free to demand conditions like "you must publish on every platform" as part of the deal.

>what is borderlands
A game with no nerds behind it? The KSP guys are rocket science nerds, which is why the game actually uses real physics (though the standard game has sometimes modified physical constants or allowed unreal materials for the fun factor, but the equations using those constants are the real deal even if not high precision).

If fucking Obsidian can't do it for Outer World then these guys have no hope.

Oh cool they officially added a bunch of mods and updated the graphics all for a cool $60.

you idiot. it's known to be lifted for 2 months now.

Huh, nice.

it takes time and money to integrate all of them into one single package that doesn't crash or creates problems and the new game its probably being made from the ground up (specially because it has a native multiplayer). Its worth its price, whatever its going to be.

And you can literally see people using Unity in the fucking trailer, look at the screen on the left

They better be using some new version that supports 64 bit worldspace coordinates or it's going to suffer the same problems as the first.

Yh looks like the heavy arms gundam

First game actually finished long ago. It is on consoles.

and colonies and more solar systems. Ideally, the game its also made from the ground up in order to avoid a decade old spaghetti code.

Oh no, I hope snakefucker and catfucker don't find out about this

It's pretty obvious.
If you bought KSP before 2012, you got all future DLC for free. That's a pretty big chunk of lost revenue for 2K, who now owns KSP.

Rather than continue to lose money on free content, it's more profitable in the long term to make an entirely new game which won't be bound by the same DLC agreement as the first one.

I'm always so far behind the curve

This isn’t Squad so hopefully no.

I cant imagine too much changing in terms of physics. So think of ksp1 as practice.

Do you think they may implement n-body physics?

On one hand making satellite networks and keeping stable orbits would become a pain, on the other hand it would unlock all sorts of new options like lagrange points.

Better graphics and you don’t have to dedicate your life to an endless cycle of unfucking all the mods until an update renders all that work basically useless.

Guys, if I shoot a load of my sperm into space and it lands on a planet that is just starting the whole life thing. Does that mean I have fathered everything on that planet?

no.

>In-orbit ship building
fucking finally

judging from the trailer, they have the right ideas set on stone.

Best place to put a telescope

There is a KSP mod that adds telescopes and forces you to discover other planets manually, but it got old fast and I uninstalled it

If they implement the ability to build space forklifts that can maneuver parts, and then you can use some vanilla version of KSP to weld the shit together, I'll die a happy man.

Not just in-orbit shipbuilding, but also land bases (colonies) with launchpads as well.

There is probably a special menu for building bases, because they mentioned how gravity loads after unpausing that menu and it results in kerbal situations.

No, your sperm can't just sit around and replicate asexually. If you were very lucky, a bit of your RNA might keep chugging and eventually turn into something recognizable in a billion years

oh fuck. with the right mods in theory you could have a combat server that could be a combination of halo and planetside 2 with kerbals dropping from the atmosphere in drop pods trying to take control of the colonies(basically planting and removing flags), SSTOs making bombing runs, dedicated interceptors deterring those SSTOs and battleships fighting other battleships for the control of the LKO...ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

yumbo yet

the main problem would be creating the dedicated...software? so that the server is capable of synchronizing all the players(something that might be ready with the base KSP). and render distances, so that the guy fighting on the ground doesn't have to render the guys on orbit (which might also be ready with the base game). all in all, the easiness of creating a combat server heavily depends on how the native multiplayer works.

That's realistic space combat.
It gets even better if one of you is in a polar or retrograde orbit...

>Up to me to build a super battleship to save our ass
>constantly get bombed while trying to build and having to start over from scratch
or
>get done with building battleship, match is over and everyone has already left

there could be a system like planetside 2 where the two teams have a single invulnerable base/orbital works/colony and the match literally never ends. OR you have prebuilt ships that you can spawn, but compared to the custom creations they are mediocre.

I thought we we'ren't supposed to talk about it?

>No limits, only depends on how hard you want to make it for yourself. Noobs get a base on low gravity worlds with easier access to unique resources (they're almost certainly gonna have stuff like fusion fuel for high tech propulsion floating around in Jool's atmosphere for example), veterans get more difficult and resource poor starting worlds, elder gods get the really difficult worlds to start from (imagine trying to fight back an invading force when you're limited to what you can launch from Eve's surface). New planets in other star systems are obviously a wildcard.

>Lightning round is where everyone picks a Joolian moon, fast paced but a winner is decided quickly and there's nowhere to run. Eternal war is played across multiple star systems, it's effectively impossible to completely eradicate any enemy, although it may be possible to invade with overwhelming force all at once and attempt hostile takeover of a valuable planet or moon.

I always wanted to do shit like make mining ships and stations, so i could ship things back home and make bigger and better ships with the materials.

Yes. It's very simplified (1 resource, 1 conversion to fuel). simple planet scanning for resources and Easter eggs.

Got to go fast still saves delta v in the latest versions.

No, the antimatter engine you posted has very thick and massive antimatter bottles and guns surrounding the reaction chamber, Daedalus has a large but thin nozzle and an array of ignition lasers (also, the nozzle has to be big in order to sit just outside the radius at which the fusing fuel pellet's radiated light and heat become spread out enough that the nozzle won't be melted or eroded over time; how big it needs to be depends on how much fuel is being fused per pellet, but there's a minimum scale under which the engine can't be made to work anymore, going bigger makes the problems easier).

Appreciate it.

If there's persistent multiplayer and space combat becomes possible, there's going to be a flood of vehicle and weapons development using nothing but stock parts. Can we get ahead of the curve here? I'm thinking unguided vacuum kinetic missiles powered by sepratrons, guided (probe core set to point at target) rocket powered and jet powered kill vehicles, large and simple unguided bombs to take out surface targets, cluster bombs to spray orbital shipyards with shrapnel, what can you come up with?

Unity itself isn't the problem, it's the spaghetti of Squadcode that has lent to the prevalence of the Kraken in everything you do in the game.

>persistant multiplayer

Thats just asking for trolling of the highest order. Also how would you even handle the time dilation for long distance travels in multiplayer?

I literally never look up shit, you just get a feel for what designs will and won't work after you put in the hours and try your own experimental designs. Also, once you learn something you never forget it, it took weeks for me to land on Mun but after the first one I was able to do it three more times that day. Took way longer to do a manned mission to another planet, failed design and failed mission architecture over and over, then it clicked and I pulled it off then I did four more interplanetary manned missions to different places and it only required three tries at most (Kept underestimating the delta V to get to and back from Moho).

Are they going to have ship interiors, and let you go 1st/3rd person view as you control a kermin? That would be one the biggest things Id want.

Personally, for space fights i'd use guided misiles. Debris/cluster bombs have the issue of disappearing or spreading too far and being ineffective. On the other hand, carpet bombing the colonies with fuel tanks might be effective. Very effective.

>Thats just asking for trolling of the highest order.
This is a theoretical scenario, so no need to think into the extremes.
>Also how would you even handle the time dilation for long distance travels in multiplayer?
Ask the devs, they are the ones going for MP.

don't we all
>80 cm height

>time dilation
you mean time acceleration? I dunno, maybe shit is done with something like Kerbal alarm clock, but where time accelerates to the next alarm automatically so long as there are no conflicts with other things being done in universe at the same time. Still trollable for example if a guy decided to afk a rover crawling across an entire planet for 16 hours, but that's a job for a server admin to kick people. I'm sure there's a way to do it anyway.

sinclairinterplanetary.com/startrackers
that dont work if you point em at the sun. in ksp your position and velocity (and from them all other orbital paramaters) are known to you all the time with 100% certainty unlike in real life. IRL it takes time and ranging from many antennas to accurately determine spacecraft position and it gets worse as you get further away from earth. i'd want stuff like that incorporated in a game with the ability to build more and bigger antennas on the surface of\orbit of planets\moons so your spacecraft can navigate better and maybe at the endgame you'd build a solar-system wide GPS-like system or something.

you cant do shit like CoaDE homing on target (including leading it on as your target does burns) in ksp and you can only control one spacecraft.
im talking multiple missiles each running a homing script that you dont have to directly control.

>Improved Onboarding Kerbal Space Program 2 will create a whole new generation of space flight experts who will find themselves accidentally learning rocket science. New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight instructions allow both experienced and novice players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game.
>Next Generation Technology In Kerbal Space Program 2, the astoundingly inventive creations that KSP is known for will be taken to a whole new level. Players will be delighted and challenged by next-generation engines, parts, fuel, and much more. This new tech will not just create novel puzzles for players to solve, but will also enable new feats of space exploration within and beyond the original Kerbolar System.
>Colonies Brand new to Kerbal Space Program 2 are colonies.. These colonies not only pose their own physics challenges, but also require resource gathering to build structures, space stations, habitations, and unique fuel types. Eventually, these colonies become advanced enough for vehicle construction, propelling deep space and beyond.
>Interstellar Travel Next-gen tech, colonies, and systematic resource gathering all lead to a whole new level of exploration: interstellar travel. In Kerbal Space Program 2, these interstellar technologies pave the way to a host of new celestial bodies, each comprising new challenges and harboring new secret treasures. Among them: Ovin, a ringed super-Earth with relentless gravity; Rask and Rusk, a binary pair locked in a dance of death; and many more to reward exploration.

>Multiplayer/Modding The technological developments made to the foundations of Kerbal Space Program 2 will build on the beloved modding capabilities of the original game, as well as deliver on the long-requested addition of multiplayer. Soon players will be able to share the challenges of deep space exploration. More details on these features will be revealed at a later time.

This is a joke, right
Please tell me you're joking

Anybody here landed on Eve?
And also came back, of course.

What other games has Star Theory made? Their website is some stupid formsite garbage with a pitbull and no information.
There's nothing at all about these people anywhere.

>Q: How do we know if Star Theory Games has the capability of developing a worthy successor to our favorite game?
>A: The team behind Star Theory Games are skilled video game developers as well as lifelong fans of Kerbal Space Program, with multiple members of having played 2000+ hours of the original KSP. The principal engineer even has a background in the aerospace industry. Their skill set in combination with a deep understanding of what makes this game great has led to the creation of an amazing sequel we know you’ll love to challenge yourself with! If you’d like to learn more about the amazing team behind Kerbal Space Program 2 be sure to watch the Developer Story video.

>Q: What has Star Theory Games successfully released in the past?
>A: This is the first title for Star Theory Games, of whom a few developers remain from its predecessor company, Uber Entertainment. Uber is known for Monday Night Combat, Planetary Annihilation, and VR titles. The Star Theory team is comprised of skilled Unity game developers who are lifelong fans of KSP and are credited on AAA games from companies like Microsoft, PopCap, and Gas Powered Games. See more of the team at Star Theory in our Developer Story video.

Furthest I've gone is to Mars and back but then the gay expansion pack "Breaking Grounds" came out so I didn't bother because it introduced new mechanics.

CUTE!

They have that in KSP1, so probably yes.

They are literally a new studio put together just to make Kerbal 2. We dont know anything about them.

i think he meant you being able to move around inside and operate instruments. right now they just have shit IVA cockspits where you can press a handful of buttons.
there's IVA mods that give you more stuff to play around with but you still cant move around inside.

would be cool if they added interiors and airlocks so you can play 100% first person

There was a mod that allowed you to move around interiors but development on it stopped years ago.

Are they going to have ship interiors, and let you go 1st/3rd person view as you control a kermin?

>VR titles

What about Kerbal Space Program in VR?

would be cool with a highly detailed IVA cockpit but i think they're pretty far along in development and if they wanted something like this they'd show it in the trailer.
there's this shot that shows reflection of instruments but im pretty sure this is pure 3D renders where's some of the exterior shots look like gameplay.

looks good so far.

KSP is literally the only positive contribution Mexicans have made to western civilization.

I like Mexican hot sauce.

>ground meat, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese somehow turn to shit if they're contained in a crunchy shell instead of a bun
Might as well say "sandwiches taste like shit." Tacos are a form factor, not a recipe.

I would ALMOST buy a VR headset if it meant we got IVA as detailed as youtu.be/QHHmF0iWksI

That and forced memes that came from capeshit movies
WHAT DID IT COST? EVERYTHING??????
LOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a butt blasted Euro, how well educated can you expect him to be?

Not gonna lie but I unironically agree with this this.

Alot more educated than you.

you can already pretty much do that with KSP mods
youtube.com/watch?v=pb8U20UCMEQ
+ a decent IVA like the ones from B9 mod
it's really not that impressive, if star theory actually focused on VR and IVA they could make something like youtube.com/watch?v=-76y7sbHE5U
my guess is we wont see it on release unless VR popularity really rises or something. maybe a later update\expansion. we'll definitely see it in mods so even if they make decent IVA cockpits you'd be able to use em in VR.

After this comes out, will there be any reason to play KSP 1?

If they make it right, no.

Most planet pack creators will stay, since they're untalented hacks who think configuring is coding.

And yet still thinks tacos are fundamentally different. Somehow I doubt that. But keep believing that, you gotta cope with America winning the war hundreds of years ago somehow. I don't blame you.

Scott Manley has a video now.

Holy fuck, how am I just hearing about this? KSP is my all time favorite game. I'm so fucking excited.

It was announced hours ago.

>over 40000 seconds have gone by and I haven't known that ENTIRE TIME
It hurts to be so slow

Well, it was bound to happen.

Nuclear explosion in space is literally just an absurdly bright and hot flash of light. It doesn't make a fireball.

It technically does, but the fireball dissipates too quickly to be relevant.

You mean the fireball from the explosives that start the reaction?

There is no "slow as fuck" in space combat.
Chances are capital ships have fusion/orion/ion engines that give them way more deltaV than a small ships chemical rockets.
Since there are different star systems in KSP2, you probably want to build star carriers just to get your fighters into their respective target orbit.

Yeah you can, one of the SAS options is point-at-target, you could use a high thrust high delta v rocket to achieve low relative velocity to your target, then launch a volley of self guided missiles.

Absolutely not.

That book was kinda shite, like the author literally had to come up with a boogeyman disease to make the eponymous moon uninhabitable. He also had to have them start off doing the most retarded thing possible which was to immediately try to colonize the bottom of a deep gravity well, instead of doing the smart thing which is to take advantage of their position in orbit to mine asteroids and build new habitat bottles to add to their ship at a fast pace. In fact he needed to design a mission architecture that was as dumb as possible in order for it to not work out in the end, such as clustering a large number of habitats together and using a single big propulsion system rather than sending each habitat on its own with its own propulsion system as part of a swarm, not bringing along large amounts of frozen genetic material to keep your biodiversity high, relying on self-contained ecosystems rather than providing food using high density farming, and so on. The good parts in that book were the world building and the time lapse parts describing their progress, and every sequence from Ship's perspective (that girl the book follows I couldn't give a shit about honestly).

they used to frequent the generals on /vg/ - at least during when Squad was still a thing. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if they're reading this thread aloud in a conference room

Boy I hope snekposter will be there

Git gud, Docking isn't hard you probably just weren't designing vehicles with balanced RCS thrust vectors. Docking is just another thing you need to design for, like making a plane aerodynamic. Most people try to learn docking my slapping some RCS thrusters on an upper stage but they don't add enough and/or they put them in the wrong places and end up with strong torque effects when they try to translate to align ports. Once you learn the steps though docking becomes hardly a challenge even if you've got nothing but a main engine to work with, simply rendezvous, match velocity, get aligned to the docking port on the target, apply a tiny burp to begin close approach, keep ports close enough to allow the magnetism to take over and pull them together.

Anyway, the game performs better in terms of fps etc nowadays and there are a few newer parts plus some small yet significant UI changes that make some aspects of the game more intuitive to people.

funny how the UI has hardly changed at all after all these years.

>and unique fuel types
mining helium 3 from Jool's upper atmosphere confirmed

We made it to the bump limit.

Now your base is no more.

Now I've got a base in your backyard to repair&refuel my star carriers and start the orbital bombardement of your homeworld.

>be mexican
>make something for $5
>Americans buy it for $5,000 and let you keep collecting $50+ royalties on it

this is every beaner's dream

the 'fireball' that is the extremely hot plasma made from the leftover uranium/plutonium plus all the daughter products of the reaction and of course the structural materials of the bomb

I want a more extensive discovery phase. We should have to launch telescopes to discover Eeloo and Dres and smaller moons.

Also. i hope the gas giants have more than just 4 moons. I want a proper 20+ moon gas giant.

you can always hop the border

>ion drive star carrier
nigga we're gonna have access to direct fusion propulsion a la Daedalus, ion drives will be caveman technology with a much lower acceleration and a much lower top speed as well.

where's your degree in astrophysics
bitches

I was talking with KSP1 tech, no idea what other changes they will make.
Also VASMIR packs like 5000 S of specific impulse IRL.

You can also launch projectiles using an engine attached to your main craft. Engines also push things away from them.

most of them would need to be irregular moons (asteroid-like) to be realistic, or you could go the Saturn route and have a system of a handful of very small spherical moons (only Titan is comparable to our own Moon in size, the second biggest (Rhea) is a mere ~760 km in radius), roughly Minmus sized, and a bigger moon or two maximum. As it stands in stock Jool's big three moons are ridiculously huge, even Vall has 1.6 times the gravity of Ganymede, biggest moon in our solar system. Laythe would be equivalent to a planet twice as big as Mars, and of course Tylo would be about as big as Earth.

It's VASIMR, and it's not really an ion drive, it's a plasma thruster, but regardless the Daedalus engines are designed with >500,000 Isp in mind, and since they use actual fuel rather than jst propellant you don't need to worry about supplying the multiple gigawatts necessary to run the engine, since the thrust energy comes from the fusion reactions and the small fraction of energy absorbed by the nozzle as heat is used to drive the generators that provide the power that runs the engine. VASIMR on the other hand requires you to generate that power separately somehow, which is actually the reason why it has never been flown yet, we don't have any means of powering a VASIMR thruster without breaking the bank

The insane advantage of ion propulsion is that it is probably rather low on the tech tree, meaning you can raid before anyone expects a raid.
On the other hand, I'll probably go with the highest specific impulse engine I can find and refuel as soon as I unlocked it in addition to some chemical rockets for bursts of high thrust.
