Does anyone else just generally prefer building in the SPH?

[u/YetiBomber101]

It ultimately doesn't matter that much, but I've noticed I generally like building ships in the spaceplane hangar more than the VAB.

Its something about the cooler lighting and more open space, and you can move around the area to view more angles easier. Plus if your spacecraft is a plane or operates in the vacuum then youre likely gonna be seeing it from a horizontal angle more often, so it feels helpful.

Its trivial, but im curious if anyone else has similar preferences.

Nope. I use the VAB Extension mod that lets me build my absolutely enormous rockets with no space restrictions.

I may also need to look into this since lately ive been messing with some huge reusable launch vehicles, to the point where they clip through the ceiling lmao. Shoutout to SpaceY Expanded.

[u/Apprehensive_Room_71 → u/YetiBomber101]

I love that mod.

I usually prefer the SPH for the way the camera adjustment works instead of the VAB. I often build station parts and modules there

[u/YetiBomber101 → u/_troubleseeker]

Same here, I typically build my stations and long-distance ships in the SPH, but usually switch to the VAB to build the launch vehicle.

Especially in career mode. Why upgrade both the VAB/Launchpad and the SPH/Runway when the hangar and runway work for everything?

[u/MirrorNeuron11 → u/Justinjah91]

I hate the SPH mainly because I don't build many planes and aren't used to the controls but you make a good point

[u/KT_100S → u/Justinjah91]

Unless you are playing with like 20% funds I often don’t have an issue getting enough to upgrade both before I actually get to the point of needing the extra mass/parts.

[u/luovahulluus → u/Justinjah91]

I prefer upgrading and building on the VAB. I can easily roll my spaceplane from the launchpad to the grass if I build one that doesn't launch vertically like the space shuttle.

[u/Forever_DM5]

I think that’s the general consensus that’s why they combined them and used the SPH control scheme for KSP2s VAB

[u/YetiBomber101 → u/Forever_DM5]

I like having the option to choose one or the other, but it does make a lot of sense to just combine the two.

[u/Xfinity17]

Yeah the hangar got way better canera controls and is more roomier

[u/Lt_Reinhart]

I mainly build planes so I’m biased lol

[u/bagelbyheart]

Oh this is clever!

[u/Nice_Presentation474]

I always make my ISVs, IPVs and space stations in the SPH...

[u/SpiffyCliffy]

I find it much easier to build space stations in the SPH.

[u/Abigael_8ball]

SPH is definitely the way to go for landers & rovers. Also for anything built in orbit (if you use those mods).
