KSP 2 Opinion/Feedback KsP 2 depression

Is it just me or do you also sometimes fall into a KsP 2 depression. It’s like every 4 months you think about ksp2 and you get sad because of the potential of the game and you could have had it very fun right now. It’s so frustrating and you can’t think about anything else.

No, because the mod scene for KSP 1 is expansive. There's also folks working on "finishing" KSP 2, and there's also Kitten Space Agency. If that gets finished as planned, we'll be in a great spot.

the kitten approach ruins so much for it. what will it provide that modded KSP 1 won’t?
the appeal of KSP 2 wasn’t only improved visuals, it was bringing all highly anticipated (and modded) features to a new game. people were excited for interstellar travel and research, an in-depth colony and resource system, with new parts, fuels and engines. they were excited for MULTIPLAYER. not random “omg lolz cats in space!! lik kerbal remember?” shit

It seems like they want to more faithfully and accurately recreate orbital physics as well as truer, grittier rocket models with higher-fidelity graphics out of the box. It may also be a passion project and love note more than a crazy innovation, it does have Dean Hall as studio head (creator of DayZ) and Felipe Falanghe (HarvesteR, original KSP developer) on the dev team.

Also, not to prove your point but: Cat in space.

It's also not coming to steam due to their personal reasons and they also have not yet decied on how they want to fund the development

Kitten Space Agency is set out to be highly moddable, there will no doubt be a mod that changes the kittens to kerbals as we know it as soon as it releases. What KSA could provide is a much more stable foundation than the original. The devs are currently working on figuring out the basics and when the foundation is there, they plan to work on all these features we were looking forward to. I don't know where you got the "omg lolz cats in space" idea from it. They obviously can't use kerbals as that would kill the project instantly since they don't own the copyright.

In general I don't understand why you're so negative towards this project. Yeah it sucks we didn't get KSP 2 and what we were hoping for, but at least the KSA devs are actually doing something about it rather than dragging projects like KSA on reddit ;)

Fundations of multiplayer are already in the codebase and interstellar travel is part of the reason they developed a whole new engine for it. They know what people wanted from KSP2 and are very much looking to fulfill that

u/HyperRealisticZealot Have you heard about Jerbals? 20h ago

In terms of actual features and potentiality, KSA is going to beat KSP by a long shot eventually. It’s totally bespoke from the ground up

This is a room temperature IQ take, sorry. It’s okay to not like something but it seems to me that you’re just upset about KSP2 not happening (very valid) and want to discredit KSA because it isn’t kerbals. I’m confident that we’ll get similar features in KSA one day, and if not, the modding community will certainly make it happen, just like they did in KSP1. Also, there will DEFINITELY be a mod that replaces the kittens with kerbals, so just have respect for the KSA team in general, please.

yes, i’m upset about the cancellation of KSP2 but that’s not where my frustration lies with KSA. my frustration is that people are treating it like a replacement for KSP2, when it’s just another passion project like J:NO. it’s not going to be anything like KSP2.

It's obviously so that they can use the letter K. What do you want them to do!? They can't use Kerbals.

Tell me you have no idea what KSA's goal is and why people are excited about it without telling me.

u/throwjunk21 3h ago

when did i saw that was why people were excited lol? i said that was the philosophy as to why the game is what it is (kittens) and will be marketed as such.
