they were so proud of the barn, until bac9 demolished it, that is

[puke]

They made a big point of it coming back in 1.0, having "redone it to meet its original design expectations" or something like that.  I was hoping for the barn and trailer park to be back, would have been sweet.

Tech tree is pretty cool.  Probably wont go too far into it until TAC-LS and RT are ready, but might putter around a little picking up simple low-atmosphere and suborbital contracts.  Play with aerodynamics a bit.

IT'S HAPPENING.

I already killed Bill. GG WP

And I already broke the install.

Dangit, Ispil.

Flying a plane around as is my tradition when playing a new version.  Definitely feel a difference from old vanilla air physics, but it feels much more forgiving than FAR.   Seems kinda like a medium between the two.  EDIT:Get a nice scary shakey effect when pushing a plane's aerodynamics to the limit.  So far failed to rip it apart with that alone though.

Like how we finally see a crew compartment IVA too.  nice detail.

Welp.  I've got a bit before I can play, but it looks like I'm going to have to catch up on everything I missed.  Soo...career mode, building revamps, experience, all that jazz.  I knew about the new thermal reheating and aerodynamic models for Deadly Reentry and FAR, but it looks like the Enhanced Navball mod is obsolete now.  I think that leaves TAC and RemoteTech as the big two, until I can get a feel for how the 1.0 models for those first two compare to the old mod experiences.  We've definitely come a long way since my first ships looked like this, though...

Ohh remind me of the old day when you have to consider that @฿&?# launch tower as a factor when you design any spaceship.

Kind of miss that tower, we had a really interesting relationship together

An observation: Airbrakes are excellent at slowing you down, even at reentry speeds. A capsule can safely reenter without a heatshield if it has some airbrakes to slow it down.

Oh thank god, they put landing gear in the same R&D package as basic flight. No more JATO Komet monstrosities.

EDIT: But they didn't give any kind of fuselage or tank with jet fuel. That's the next tier up. Also, the gear are non-retractable.

Well played, Squad. Well played.

Ah.  Don't they burn off, or do they slow you down faster than they disintegrate?

I remember when it was like, $7 and used a crappy forum-based store interface.

Which... seems weird because they shouldn't be any more effective than a capsule's ass or a heatshield.

It's available on Gog, too.
