What is Kerbal Space Program?


Laggy game? Slow computer? This may help.


Hello! Welcome to the Kerbal Space Program subreddit! While discussing the game and all the sub orbital/ orbital shenanigans, we ask that you please keep all discussions and images PG.

If you want to submit a post that is of a dubious nature, don't. Send it to a mod first for approval.

*New Please refrain from submitting images that involve real space disasters, the sacrifices given by the crews of those missions deserves nothing less than utter respect. (unmanned missions are fair game)

A special thanks to user zuffdaddy for all his hard work on art and flair for this subreddit.

We are reading mod mail, sorry if we don't reply quickly!

This just exacerbates the issue.

[–]deja-vu-comment 5 points6 points ago

To be fair, it is pretty fun.

:D

For me: HIT IVA BUTTON!! WEEEE!!! WHY ARE WE GOING DOWN NOW!?!

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

On that note, when you hit IVA, how the hell do you get back to normal flight view?

[–]Guard13007 1 point2 points ago

Hit IVA again.

Edit: I learned that while recording a video for it. xD I was like "Ahh! No, give me normal view! How the hell do I switch back!? I'm just gonna click IVA and hope it doesn't break! ... Oh."

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

Ha, thanks!

In related news, not all of the cockpits have windows.

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm bummed that the Space Shuttle-esque three-man spaceplane capsule doesn't...

[–]Aeleas 0 points1 point ago

Also the one-man fighter-jet style one that has hardpoints on the front.

[–]mariner42 1 point2 points ago

Though it does explain why Jeb is always smiling.. he can't see anything!

[–]Guard13007 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I noticed they have default IVA interface for ones with no design yet, makes me a little sad.

[–]CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON 9 points10 points ago

Eventually it'll probably just be filled with a bunch of stupid "how I feel about X" macros. For some reason those seem to fetch the most upvotes. When this place explodes, see /r/Minecraft if the future of this sub seems unclear.

[–]Fllambe[M] 8 points9 points ago

For now we're letting the community decide via voting on what should stay. If more and more posts come through that aren't directly KSP related, I've got a few plans, though I'll need to discuss them with the other mods first.

[–]Bongpig 4 points5 points ago

Honestly that is what has fucked every big subreddit. You Mods need to set some rules and stick to them and enforce them. If you try and accommodate everyone, the people you want here will find somewhere where memes do not rule the day (which is what it will become if you mods let "the community" decide.

[–]Fllambe 1 point2 points ago

I'm already planning on discussing a "new" way of handling things, like memes, with the mods, which should suit everyone. I'll do this a bit later once I've slept for a little bit since I should have been in bed a while ago.

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

Good to hear. If you're against this sort of content, I don't mind taking it down, but I thought it was a relevant little bit of humor to the situation at hand.

Besides, one can only look at so many trip-screenshot albums a day.

[–]Fllambe 4 points5 points ago

If the community is fine with it, so am I.

I personally don't mind it too much, but I have been noticing people bringing up similar points to what cuntbert is saying.

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, a friend of mine who's been on this sub for longer than I have gave me an earful for this post.

As long as we don't get flooded with memes that are irrelevant, I guess it's not that bad.

[–]Bongpig 1 point2 points ago

all memes are irrelevant

I feel this exact comment, word by word, was posted before.

[–]Guard13007 5 points6 points ago

Yeah, I think he's trying to get the point across. This post is the beginning of the fall! D:

[–]CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON 6 points7 points ago

I figured it was more fitting to copy/paste rather than rephrase it. Less effort, much like this post.

The gif reminds me of Moonbase Alpha.
