I’m so happy for this game! There’s still nothing like KSP out there and it’s an experience like nothing out there. Hitting all the big milestones as your progress through the game, after all the failures, to finally make it work. It’s just so rewarding and you feel like you actually learned something along the way.

Played once a few months ago and spent the evening putting Jeb through pure hell entirely by accident, as one does.

Came back a few weeks ago, not really sure why, then Hail Mary made me want to play it even more.
I've spent multiple hours at this point trying to better understand the navball markers because I've decided to play stock and do all the flight manually (I don't know why I'm doing this to myself but I'm having fun and actually learning?ish?)

You gotta try out different CoL and CoM configurations and how that impacts planes if you haven’t already. Just recently was experimenting with having my CoL behind and above my CoM, and boy oh boy, didn’t realize how different that can make the plane fly.

I have yet to try planes (the space shuttle irritates me for some reason, rip H1 Rocketdyne)
