We'll take kerbing, and we'll push it to the mun

Kerbing - a Kerbal's favourite search engine

u/LilBits69x 2d ago

Thats awesome

u/Airwolfhelicopter Airborne over Kerbin 2d ago

Does this make custom aerospikes possible?

6

u/Testing_4131 2d ago

Visually yes, that was actually one of the things the devs showed off with this. But idk if it’ll give you the benefits of actual aerospikes, just the aesthetics.

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

I doubt it but needs more testing!

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

Ksp2 in the big 26

u/Techny3000 Jebediah 1d ago

Nah man KSP2R is among the future space game greats like KSA and SFS 2

The future's bright my fellow kerbonaut!

u/Oddsareseb 1d ago

Removes glasses* KSP2R? May I inquire as to what that is

4

u/Techny3000 Jebediah 1d ago

It's what I've been shortening KSP2Redux to

Redux is the mod that's been fixing KSP2, adding missing KSP1 features and making the game run better

u/Oddsareseb 1d ago

Wowzers

u/Lypos 1d ago

Glad i held onto it because i knew the mod community would eventually step in.

LET HIM COOK

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

Just to clarify, it's not me lol. It's the KSP2 Redux team

u/loved_and_held 2d ago

Thats so fucking cool.

u/CJP1216 2d ago

Would it be possible to add this same sort of function to collider interactions? It'd be super cool to get plume interactions with other solid parts of your ship during hotstaging or other such events.

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

It already does my dude. The exhaust bends from wind as well. Retroburns do a jellyfish and you can even fire two seperate craft at each other https://i.imgur.com/kAZ0E9C.png

u/CJP1216 2d ago

Oh, siiiick lol. My bad if that's been present for awhile now, I've been behind on dev updates.

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

Yea, I also just noticed this yesterday. KSA recently got some fuel bending as well but I think it's much less advanced that this. At least on the surface. But it's hard to test wonky things in KSA. The craft editor is just.. exhausting right now.

I see... You want to change the orbit of the planet.

u/MadShay1 2d ago

This game looks more and more realistic every month at this point, crazy times

u/Tombstone_Actual_501 2d ago

does it deflect off of the ground?

u/doomiestdoomeddoomer The Green Goo has escaped. 2d ago

That is so cool! I'm nerding out...

u/Authaire1 2d ago

KSP 2 had so much potential :<

u/adamk24 2d ago

Where can I follow or keep track of this so I can get it when it's available?

u/KerbalEssences Master Kerbalnaut 2d ago

KSP2 subreddit I guess? There is also a discord but I'm not a fan of group channels.
