#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM 2

[the-alpine-glow]

At least when Bethesda makes a broken game it’s just buggy, not genuine fucking malware

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

the reveal trailer for ksp2 will never not go hard but it's so sad going back to it and seeing all the unrealized ideas, the logo of a studio lost to corporate greed, the promises of a 2020 release...

corporate managers don't kamikaze every single project you put your filthy fucking hands on challenge 2020 2021 2022 2023 early access (IMPOSSIBLE)

[quohotos]

FUCK take 2 for what they did to Kerbal Space Program 2. What a fucking waste

First they killed the studio working on it because they wanted to take development in house. Now they killed that in house studio. Shit was supposed to be out with interplanetary travel in 2020 and now it's 2024 and it doesn't even have career mode.

We were robbed.

I remember Kerbal Space Program (KSP), a game where you would build rockets or planes from Kerbin and beyond. Unfortunately, KSP 2 suffered from sequelitis because it's still in an early access.

My favorite KSP planet is Jool.

[swedebeast]

Well... shit.

what’s your favorite world that you’ve made?

Torn between Mellanus/Gymnome, Mesbin from KSP mod Whirligig World, and Armstrong from KSP mod Planet Jam 2.

Gymnome:

Mass: about 0.5 Earth masses

Radius: 5,100 km = 0.8 Earth radii

Sidereal Rotation Period: 17 hours, 32 minutes, and 3.23 seconds (at KSP scale: 5 hours, 32 minutes)

Atmospheric pressure: 0.7 atm.

Moons: No permanent major moons, 1 temporary moon, 1 semi-permanent minor moon.

Orbital Period: average 286 days, minimum 271 days, maximum 302 days. (earth days)

Unofficial description:

Gymnome, or Mellanus, is the home of the Gymnomi Slimes. Gymnome's orbit is shared with the gas giant Omen in a horseshoe orbit, which results in a roughly 35-year-long cycle as the planet catches up and pulls ahead of the gas giant. These cycles are marked by drastic changes in weather and climate, like a very long set of global seasons. As a result, the inhabitants of the planet must migrate generally north or south whenever the planet Omen appears bright in the sky.

Why I like it: Gymnome is the home of my beloved slimegirl characters and some really fun train and space worldbuilding. I'm less attached to the planet itself though.

Mesbin:

MASS = 3.777e24 kg = 71.38 MKerbin

POLAR RADIUS = 1,392,609 m = 2.32 RKerbin

EQUATORIAL RADIUS = 2,367,436 m = 3.95 RKerbin

MEAN DENSITY = 136 g/cm^3 = 2.344 ρKerbin

POLAR GRAVITY = 13.2 G

TRUE EQUATORIAL GRAVITY = 4.58 G

APPARENT EQUATORIAL GRAVITY = 1.286 G

ROTATION PERIOD = 1701 s (28 minutes.) (at full scale: 1 hour, 29 minutes)

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE = 0

ORBITAL PARENT: Kaywell/Limnel barycenter, an F/K dwarf star binary.

ORBITAL PERIOD: 155.423 earth days. (491 days at full scale)

MOONS: 7, plus hundreds of minor moonlets in diffuse ring.

Official Mesbinite Astronomical Society Description: Mesbin is a uniquely shaped, massive planet. Its rotation period of 1,701 seconds is the fastest of any object in the solar system, and this allows it to be livable despite its incredible gravity. At the equator, its gravity is 1.29 gees. At the poles, the gravity is 13.24. The strange shape comes from the centrifugal force pushing material outward at the equator--and it is the centrifugal force that reduces equatorial gravity, not just the distance from the core. Mesbin was settled by a crashed colony ship: The U.S.C. Magnificent Desolation, which came from the Kerbol System over 1660 Mesbin-years ago. Slowly building up their civilization within underground caverns and lava tubes and introducing a stable subterranean ecosystem was not easy, but as evident by our existence today, they succeeded.

Why I like it: Mesbin is one of my longest lived projects, and it's been through many revisions to get to the current state, where it finally looks like how I always wanted it to. It's got the coolest gameplay gimmick--airless super-earth with lots of large moons--among my planet mods, and it's just so weird that you almost don't know how to interpret it.

Armstrong:

Radius: 950,000m (1.5 Kerbin Radii) Surface Gravity: 1.75G Atmospheric Pressure: 0.068atm Orbital parent: Pyri, a red dwarf star. Orbital and rotation period: 6 hours. (At full scale: 18 hours, 58 minutes) Moons: Buzz and Desmet

Official United Armstrong Space Probe Agency Description: Armstrong's Limit was discovered by heavyweight arm wrestler and amateur pilot Harriette "Arm Strong" Kerman thousands of years ago on the original homeland, Kerbin. It was the limit at which blood would boil at body temperature, at an atmospheric pressure of 0.0618 times that of Kerbin's sea level. Our world's sea level pressure is 0.068 atmospheres--barely above that limit, hence the name Armstrong. One wonders why our ancient ancestors--diverse and multiplanetary as they were--ever settled this planet, but for one reason or another, they did, and so that's why you have to put on a pressure suit to go to the pharmacy if you're running a fever. Some other complaints about our home, while we're at it:

It's too dry. My lips are chapped all the time.

The gravity's too high. I keep thinking I can manage to go for a run but I end up with terrible joint pain. 1.0 G sounds just right. 1.3 might be a healthy compromise. But 1.75G? Are you kidding? I don't think I can stand it.

Only half the planet is livable. One half of the planet is full-time facing a glowing red hot orb that occasionally flares up and emits deadly radiation, only half has a nice day-night cycle.

though it's better than if the planet were spinning properly I guess.

It's too cold! I'm gonna say it! It's too cold. You look at those beaches and you think "time for a nice swim!" No! Not a chance! That stuff is barely water and it will freeze you to your CORE!

though, again, I have to admit that at the very least it is better than the other half of the planet.

The fashion sense. NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRESS! You see pictures from the ancient times and you're like "WOW! Now there's some style!" But then you look at what everyone is wearing these days and it's like "are you really going to pair--

[Ed note: We had to stop the previous author before they went on a tirade about thigh-high socks and sandals, which are beloved to us.]

Why I like it: PlanetJam 2 was an incredibly rewarding project, and the immense gameplay difficulty of the homeworld being the centerpiece was a neat experiment. With the thin atmosphere and multi-star lighting, it's genuinely gorgeous to launch from. The exposed mid-ocean rifts, and the flooded multi-ring basins are a really unique look, and kinda paved the way for the most recent Mesbin revamp.

Honorable mention: Zhandar

the little transgender gas giant that makes the PJ2 system work (you can use it as a semi-weak gravity assists to get out to the superjupiter Bifrost, and from *there* you can sling your way to anywhere). And of course the namesake for Zhandar Ghel, the Fisher in Surviving Schwil.

Can't wait for KSP 2 to finally get reentry effects

And of course I got them back safely. (That's a strange looking pacific ocean)

More pics below the cut. I would've taken more but I forgot that I changed my Steam screenshot key for KSP2.

Can't believe I almost forgot to do a Mun landing on moon landing day

[queenrizzardnthelizardscissored]

new sci fi game shown on xbox used the same music as from the KSP 2 trailer so. really good sign. totally not an ill omen.

game looks cool tho

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

they finally revealed who bought private division from take 2 and

biggest hopium pill ive ever swallowed. is there hope for KSP2 yet? annapurna fucking rocks

[absoluteshenanigans]

Damn.

Unless you only play tRIpLE A titles this will most likely affect a game you like. Hell, it can even affect really big games like Pokemon Go.

For a long time, starting years and years back, a lot of people have been talking about the preservation of games and being against moving to digital only games for reasons like this, and how the greed of various big companies in the game industry will negatively impact access to games and their preservation. It's happening. This will impact games that are already out. This will impact games being made. This will impact games made in the future. So if you care even a teensy tiny bit about a single game made in unity, or you care about the future of game development period, I suggest you pay very close attention.

A good article from an indie developer detailing the changes and exactly how it screws devs over:
