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.

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

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

When you deploy them, they basically halt you to a stop. It may have been just the particular configuration I used though, just testing the principle. But it worked exceptionally well, so it's worth investigating.

Fancy new homepage.

Get your fancy topknot kerbals for 25% off $40.

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

$8 and well worth the price.

Space tourism (or just suborbital flight service) missions. Interesting.

Kerbal Airways, anyone?

Do you people use GoG, Steam, or the KSP website to update? I haven't transferred from the KSP web store and I want to know if their updater is functional (the last couple times I tried the 'auto updater' it... didn't work). I might redeem a steam key if their updater is still broken/bad

EDIT: I paid 18 dollars according to the KSp store, still worth every penny and more.

I just go to the website and download. It's been easier to mod different versions. Today's download was the fastest it's been Day 1.

I use steam but I back up and run ksp on another drive

Spoiler: when science only gives you booster (click to show/hide)

does anyone know if antenna range also blocks satellite from working when out of range, like remote tech? or is it only for transmitting science?

Spoiler: nop! not a thing wrong with it (click to show/hide)

hum, are there no asteroids no more?

[Putnam]

There's an asteroid belt about Dres now, making Dres a proper dwarf planet. You probably need to upgrade your tracking station to see asteroids near Kerbin, especially since that's how it was in 0.90 IIRC.

I'm pretty sure antennae weren't changed weirdly like that.

[Shadowlord]

Yeah, I think you need to upgrade your tracking station.

HOLY FUCK THAT NEW HOMEPAGE IS SO AWESOME HOLY SHIET!
I can hardly believe that I only paid 12 smackaroos for this game.

[Eric Blank]

Think I paid 14... The price is increasing exponentially, isn't it? Couple years it'll cost you $135 and require three $45 expansion packs to play online.


I am so playing this update, though.

wow that deadly reentry is fucking hard

I tried reentering with a heat shield but screw that my ship flips over and starts facing the wrong way, destroying all of the science that I got (but leaving Valentina intact)

Put heat shield on front AND back!
