They've only literally done the exact opposite. The next version, for example, has finite eva propellant.

EDIT: Oh yeah, also:

When did they say they are getting rid of resources? Do you have a source?

They never said this. They said they were putting it on hold until after multiplayer.

Resources here refers to mining stuff.

Wait, are they making a legit multiplayer now, and not just the hacky mod?

Well, not now, but by the end of next year, yes.

Judging from Kerbal Rocket Surgery, I'm guessing he's drunk.

Let's be honest: Realism aside, I don't particularly WANT to dick around in the atmosphere before having to forget plane flight and learn orbital mechanics. I would at least want SRBs.

I'd like a link and source for that, actually.

Yeah, if I learned anything from Kerbal Rocket Surgery, it's that having to start of with planes is A) kind of a drag and B) harder than just making rockets, which I kind of already knew.

Managed to get a Mun flyby (or five) on my no-transmission, no-reload campaign. For some reason, getting rockets off the ground is so much harder with FAR, even though the page says it is easier

All you really need with FAR are some fairings and tail stabilizers (AV-R8s). The fairings aren't quite so necessary. After that, gravity turning is just tapping slightly to the right, at which point the stabilizers combined with your gravitational trajectory will give you a good gravity turn without any need for further control.

The thing about FAR is that it's nearly impossible to reach terminal velocity in the atmosphere with it.
