So found this a few days ago. Someone mentioned playing it on reddit post and was curious to what they were talking about. So I grabbed the demo, wanted more grabbed the full from the net. I only mention that because how great the game is, I ordered it a few hours later, I knew I had to to support this game!

Now they have had some outages lately, and the forum is still offline - but should be up today from the site.

I did a search for ksp and kerbal on the forum and did not find anything, I don't normally post in this area - have not been a real gamer for years and years. But this one had me hooked, I can see building colonies, sending probes to the outer planets, etc. etc..

Its not your action type shoot um up, etc. But more of a free form whatever you want to make out of it sort of thing. There is talk of career mode, etc Looking forward to that, etc.

But thought I would post here to see if any neowins are into this game, play it, heard of it, have tips, etc.. etc..

btw - it plays on pc, mac or linux.

Yea it is quite addicting, trying to find the correct combo of parts and what not to actually get a rocket off the ground and in to space. I've definitely enjoyed playing it in between the random "out of memory" crashes.

I have not had any "out of memory" issues or even crashes of any sort with it, I was running 1.18.4 and then when bought it running 1.19.1 currently - neither seemed to crash. But yeah there is clearly a learning curve and going to take a while getting up to speed with how to design and fly the ships. I have landed on mun, but my poor kerbs got stranded ;) Not a good landing, and not sure had enough fuel to get back anyway.

But I got to walk around on the mun, a major feat!!! They gave their lives for the future space program, someone should write a mod on creating a monuments to the Kerbals that die in the quest to explore ;)

As I get up to speed, I might have to do that..

Yea. It's a weird issue I've been seeing in other places as well. Oh well.

Also +1 to the mod idea.

I've been playing it since like 0.13 0.8 or something, it's great to see how they're progressing.

My two main accomplishments so far was smashing a manned probe into Minim?s, and getting a "rocket" made entirely out of RCS tanks and thrusters into a stable orbit.

Edit: Found a post of me talking about the game from August 2011, so a fair bit longer than I originally remembered :laugh:

I have not had any issues with it from a crashing aspect. I do believe if you read this blog post

http://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/

Expansions, DLC and the future of KSP

if you purchase before end of April you will be listed as getting all expansion that ever happen

"So given that this was a point of confusion, and that we believe that no matter what, a promise is a promise, we are including Expansions in what you can expect to get for free if you have already bought the game. Also, for those considering purchasing the game, we will maintain this promise for all purchases made until the end of this month (April, 2013)."

Read the blog post - but if your thinking of buying - I would do it before end of this month, sounds like if you do you will get free any and all expansions, updates, etc.. etc.. If you do after this month, you might not get any expansion type packs if they are ever done.

Yeah there are some very helpful youtube tutorials - also the forums are back online, they lost some content and user accounts, etc.. But they are back and activity is picking up quite fast. Been reading through them there is a lot of great info there!!

You can find the forum link off the main page ksp page

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues by David Uzondu Euro-Office is a web-based collaborative office suite that positions itself as a "European sovereign alternative" to American tech companies, backed by a coalition of developers including Nextcloud, IONOS, Abilian, BTactic, OpenProject, and, more recently, Tuta. The project officially went live a couple of days ago, but not before drawing heavy fire from LibreOffice developers, who called the marketing claim that Euro-Office represents the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe" a deceptive historical inaccuracy because projects like OpenOffice and LibreOffice existed decades earlier. Now that the project has launched, LibreOffice is back with another complaint, arguing that Euro-Office cannot consider itself "genuinely European" while it pushes proprietary Microsoft defaults on users. Euro-Office had promised to improve the OpenDocument Format (ODF) back in April, but the current release still plagues users with several technical failures. For instance, the suite lacks an admin setting to enforce ODF, and mobile editors completely block ODF saves, forcing files into Microsoft's OOXML formats. Some configurations force files into read-only mode, while editing frequently corrupts document formatting or erases data. LibreOffice thinks that merely supporting a format as an afterthought does not make you a sovereign alternative, as file formats are the battleground where" digital sovereignty is won or lost." The road to the first stable release of Euro-Office has been quite bumpy due to an aggressive public fallout with OnlyOffice, from which the coalition originally forked the project. OnlyOffice struck back by accusing the coalition of violating copyright terms under its AGPLv3 branding requirements by stripping the original branding anyway and forking the code. Getting Euro-Office up and running is a bit wonky (at least for non-technical users), as there is no direct installer to grab off the web. The easiest way we learnt is by using Docker. First, pull the official Euro-Office image from the GitHub Container Registry: docker pull ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest Then, run the container with active ports and a secure JWT token, enabling the test environment: docker run -i -t -d -p 8080:80 --restart=always -e EXAMPLE_ENABLED=true -e JWT_SECRET=my_secure_jwt_secret ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest And finally, open a web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8080 If you are running this on a remote server, replace localhost with your server's IP address. You will see the Euro-Office test page, where you can create new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations directly in the browser. Image via Euro-Office Nextcloud promises that proper standalone desktop versions and mobile apps will arrive in a future release.
