Like designing things, going to space, building stuff, simulated not completly real physics, the space program, dispicable me characters, Then check out the videos for Kerbal, its one of those suprise games I have found on the steam sale.

I know Kerbal Space Program for a few months and god it is fun as hell there is so many possibility, exploiting the physics engine is the most fun...

My first space station

If that´s a space station why so many RCS fuel? for tranfering from the station to the lander/probes?

Yea its like my 3rd object geting succesfully into space and into an orbit. Its acualy more of a satillite then a station, and the goal was to get it into an orbit around kerbin. I am now building a larger station, that I will launch in 6 parts and dock them togeather in a circle. Although I think I should launch a small test satilite and see if I can get it into a geostationary orbit, as my hope is to have the station right above my test faciliites. As for how much RCS, I figured that would be how many I needed. This is my current design I am going to launch. I will send 6 of them up and connect them all togeather.

If you like old games like fallout ,d.r.a.g.o.n. force,silent storm,jagged alliance,etc... and like a cyber setting,Shadowrun Returns is out and worth the purchase.

The combat isnt as deep as some of the above games,but its close enough.The story is extremely linear,but very good.

I must admit, I am intrigued by this. Some of it looks familiar also.

Great game. The physics aren't actually that bad and seem pretty relistic. The latest version allows a lot more things to do then just shooting a dude into orbit.

The version that is in development will introuduce a tech tree, and the antennas will broadcast "science" to the space center, they are slowly getting into the career mode and the full realese of the game

Also, Steam has Wargame franchise pack on-sale if anyone is interested. They seem to be pretty decent tactical games.

They are, bought them both and have enjoyed them thoroughly, seems to fit nicely in the gap between SR and Arma.

How long have you owned it? Since there seems to be no dev forum for it, I cannot tell how long it has been out. Did you also get the modding tool?

Video makes it look great, somthing I would enjoy.

But news of bugs makes me leary. When combined with no forums gives me a pass on the game. Forums are usualy one of the first places I look when deciding when I want to get the game or not. A quick glance at the support forums can tell you if people are having real game breaking bugs with the game, Or users are having problems figuring the game out (the last one is a bonus since it means the games complicated and that means I will have a challange).

For technical support (in the event of game running or activation problem on your computer) :

Yea... I am not thinking your going to be geting allot of tech support in english. They are French. Go figure, the French making a geo political simulator.

I dont own it,i watched it played at a computer coffeeshop (crashed twice in less than 30 minutes),its been out a few months,there is an unofficial forum for it.I dont know anything about the modding tool.

:( I did some around the web reading and it "did" appear to have some problems, but according to some of the comments on various Youtube videos much of it has been fixed. The largest complaint it seems is the price.

Money has never been the deciding factor for me. It is in fact about half the price of a year of Eve Online. Then again it darn sure looks interesting, I mean I purchased Battlecruiser 3000 AD when it first came out despite it's long troubled history. I even knew about Derrick smart, still I took the plunge, so sometimes I do dumb things.... I will ponder on it.
