grata now u must make the choice of sticking to manual controls like you're Jules Verne, or moving into the 20th century with mechjeb

It's one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that's better by any measure.

im doing career mode so I reckon I'll "unlock" mechjeb for myself at some point but I'd really like to get to Mun and back on my own before then

man spacepope i thought i knew you and then you go and say something like that, i 100% disagree

mechjeb is life. A lot of it's options are intelligently gated in the tech tree by default; you don't get the auto-rendezvous or auto-dock or auto-STO until way, way late

SMART_ASS is so, so good. Yeah, so don't use the autoland/autoorbit features at first but it's holding heading and the +/- prograde/normal/radial buttons are amazing. The fixed heading is great for a gradual turn during launch as well. It's "UP" is an amazing "oh, poo poo" tool for landers as well.

the info pane is almost mandatory for actually building rockets because it shows DV per stage, and important things like time to periapsis which make things easier but not automatic at all.

no more tears

what im seeing is that spacepope wants to fly a rocket, mechjeb users want to move as many rockets as possible

yeah if you set yourself the goal of making ~SPACE INFRASTRUCTURE~ that's going to entail doing the same thing a lot of times and eventually you'll want to hit a button that makes it guaranteed to happen rather than spending 15 minutes finagling it by hand

but if you use it to make the game play itself then you've sort of missed the point of ksp

i am playing through assassin's creed: liberation while I wait for fallout 4 to come out. if ac3 didn't exist, liberation would be by far the worst in the series. also, did the controls always suck this much?

the engine is garbage and was designed for low polycount environments that are easy to do pathing on. also the free running code is bad on top of that

part of it would be because it was a portable game originally

dunno what you're comparing it to tho

controls are similar to ac3 and 4

i really hate the ezio controls

3 and 4 made it a ton easier to just run across rooftops and wilderness

The all-cash deal represents a 26 per cent premium to King’s $4.7bn market capitalisation as of Monday’s close, but is priced below the level at which King went public in March last year.
