Kerbal Space Program 2 is finally here, and I got an early look at Kerbal Space Program 2 gameplay as I create the world's tallest rocket in KSP2! It was harder than expected, but nothing the UK Space Agency can't solve!

You don’t need a huge rocket to get to the sun if you’re clever, using a Jool gravity assist you can go to the far reaches of the solar system, way beyond Eeloo, and when you reach perihelion, you can burn retrograde and plunge into the depths below. It may take over 50 years, but it’s more efficient than manually deorbiting from Kerbin’s orbital distance.

When I was in high school we had a program that was a space sim/aerospace class where part of our "space program" required pilots to fly "pre-built simulated shuttles" to the "space station" using what was basically KSP with a Thrustmaster joystick and a really nice (for 2012) gaming chair in a plywood box on some chains built to look like a ship, with a huge chain to lift it to simulate docking to the ship. (The ship being its own thing btw, all student built! ). All that fancy stuff aside I was lucky enough to be a pilot, so I was basically assinged to play with KSP all day! We had convinced our Aerospace teacher that it was "an advanced aerospace simulator." And we pitched that along with Universe Sandbox 2! Anyway, always nice to see KSP back.

@MeltedHugo Жыл бұрын

17:55 as a fellow engineer I will tell you why it's leaning: A noodly noodle is still a noodly noodle, no matter where it thrusts, and if the noodle noodles, the center of mass is still off the thrust vector, and therefor only making the leaning more bendy. Thrusting the front therefor doesn't stiffen the noodle, it only stretches the noodle and makes it even less controllable. This is why engineers only thrust from the back, because they know that solid girth is superior to stretchy length. The real reason though, the one that explains everything: The balls are missing. It is simply a very inefficient design.

11:53 While your engines are pointing up, because the center of mass is to the side the engines will do nothing but cause the ship to spin. You must keep the center of mass in line with the thrust if you want to go straight. I would have expected an engineer to understand that.
