i am seeing alot of negative posts about this on steam. people seem unhappy with the progress in the game. have not bought it. anyone have any comments on this?

I dunno, I feel like there's already enough fun to be had for a lifetime with current features. And these guys appear to be technically competent. Every new version that I've seen brings something fairly significant, especially lately. Plus there's a plethora of mods that you can already try, which make it even better.

Plus they have a really transparent development situation, where you can see what they've been up to every week. Overall, I would go for it.

In any case, you can go to http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Version_History and look at the big version changes, and when they were released, to get a fairly decent feel for how the game's been progressing.

Do you like building rockets and sending them to other planets? Buy this game. Do you like building planes and flying them in atmosphere? Buy this game. Do you work for NASA and are bored during the shutdown? Buy this game. Buy this game? BUY THIS GAME.

"Are you working at NASA and aren't currently making money? SPEND MONEY."

My first thought

Hey now. When you spend a couple hundred bucks on a hammer your salary must be in the millions, right? RIGHT?! ... Well. At least you can always get a second job. Who doesn't want overworked sleepy astronauts in space?

So I checked what happened since December 2012.

0.18, Dec. 2012: adds docking. KSP is now essentially KSP2.
0.19, Mar. 2013: wheels = rovers!
0.20, May. 2013: flags, MUCH needed upgrades to vehicle assembly
0.21, Jul. 2013: amazing SAS rework, better terrain, hiring astronauts, groundwork for campaign
0.22, . 2013: !!SCIENCE!!, KSP2 is now KSP3...

So in one year, you went from being able to send rockets to spess..... to being able to make orbital spess stations, making totally legit multi-ship missions, refuelling in spess, rovers for moving around on other planets much easier, etc etc.

Not to mention absolutely absurd mod support. Keeping things moddable is hella hard. These guys are keepin' it going, and the community is NOT disappointing.

"There was a controversy over Stardrive yesterday..."  Why ?

Multiplayer was promised, not in game, dev completely stopped developing after release.

They just talked on the stream about what is being shown will be an experimental build that is not quite ready, almost... so no release I assume
