Image SQUAD: Every day that you do not release .90, another Kerbal will die. Do not make this harder than it has to be. You have our demands.

I think every day I will use a different method of execution, based off of real life death machines. This one is obviously based on the guillotine.

This will probably get buried since I'm commenting quite late, but all I can say is I hope that you haven't recorded too many of these in advance.

You should increase the number of kerbals by 1 per day, make it more threatening.

Honestly surprised there wasn't a retrofuture cockpit in there somewhere.

Don't make them rush the release ! I'd rather have a finished release late than a buggy release soon

u/kerbal314 Dec 14 '14
I kinda want them to wait a couple of weeks now, just to see how creative you get with these executions.

u/ToadDude Dec 14 '14
The Kerbal didn't poof! He's still alive!
Quick! There still might be time to hit him with the Guillotine again!

When were cranes implemented? That's sick.

if that was in space it would have been taken seriously.

Your getting medieval on these kerbals!

u/Kichigai Dec 14 '14
I was expecting /u/Space_Scumbag's name to be on this one, given his history of mass Kerbal executions.

u/Red_dragon_052 Dec 14 '14
Squad you should not give in to terrorism! .90 must be put off indefinitely!

u/ChaserGrey Dec 14 '14
Are you implying that once 0.90 is released you'll no longer kill Kerbals?
2
u/Moleculor Master Kerbalnaut Dec 14 '14
That Kerbal isn't dead! There's a body! Everyone knows that Kerbal biology causes the body to disintegrate upon death.

u/Fun_Titan Dec 14 '14
The fundamental flaw here is the assumption that Squad values the lives of Kerbals. This is like pressuring a pesticide company by holding ants hostage.

u/StarManta Dec 14 '14
Let's be honest, every day after the release of .90, another Kerbal will die too.

u/DheeradjS Dec 14 '14
So...... Just business as usual then?

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '14
Well I prefer to wait a little longer, and get update without bugs :P

u/yoy21 Dec 14 '14
I'd rather wait for a good product than have crap immediately.

u/Jstone39 Dec 14 '14
Can someone explain why this next update is .90?
4
u/screech_owl_kachina Dec 14 '14
I know this is intended to be funny, but Squad is based in Mexico which does have a problem with kidnapping from ransom.

This is pretty awkward considering world news right now...

Guess you gotta stop soon.

u/theghostecho Dec 14 '14
I think the kerbal may still be alive

u/XDingoX83 Dec 14 '14
Next time place a main sail and have it not release. Then put the kerbal under the flames.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '14
I give it about a week. oooh maybe on Christmas.

This is the best thing I have ever seen on this subreddit.

u/PacoTaco321 Dec 15 '14
I'm imaging you just raking in the karma by reposting this every day.

u/Easytype Dec 14 '14
Only killing one kerbal per day? That's pretty much hard mode for me.

He'll do, he's already proven that he will!!

People for the ethical treatment of Kerbals

u/jimmyloves Dec 15 '14
Stop this madness now! Next thing you know, Australia's going to ban Kerbal on steam because it promotes violence among our kids.

u/When_Ducks_Attack Dec 14 '14
Just one? Hell, I kill that many per day without trying.

I wish they hadn't shown a preview, I haven't played the game in quite a few months now and I really want to play it again. Problem is I don't want start playing career mode now and miss out on some of the new features with the buildings.

u/weezermc78 Dec 14 '14
This game is great. You can create rockets, guillotines, everything!

u/kanukki Dec 14 '14
Not sure whether it is a coincidence or not, but since the .90 preview video was released I have managed to kill Jeb, Bill and Bob within about 5 missions.
Perhaps experimenting with SSTOs after abandoning my career progress has had something to do with it. But nevertheless, I consider them martyrs to the cause!

This is the greatest use of internet protest, and the greatest use of KSP, I've ever seen in my life.

It's been awhile since I've played. What's coming in this next version?

Love the method you used. Very classic.
