Question Some Questions for the Developers

[DMY114514]

I’d like to know whether the game will incorporate content from the KSP mod “FreeIVA” in the future, including better use of kitten astronauts for various interactions. Will there be part customization features similar to those in “Juno: New Origins,” or even better—for example, being able to use different components on an engine, customize wings, swap out different equipment inside crew cabins, conveniently design your own parts, and even large-scale construction outside the VAB, and...
(I think this may have been discussed before, but I couldn’t find it.)

Interactive IVA features are definitely something that the team is interested in and currently designing things in mind with. The existing IVA environment in the 2-seater capsule, capsule and docking port hatch sizes relative to the kittens, etc. No ETA on this kind of interactivity though.

Will there be part customization features

Yes, this is intended to be a whole thing. The sub-part system that parts are designed with is a big part of that. Eventually we should be able to use them to customize or build whole new parts.

Feel free to check out the FAQs on the KSA Wiki, which might answer other questions that come up.

Thank you for your answer. I have looked through a lot of information and am moved by the greatness of this idealized open community. This philosophy and KSA itself will both be among the great projects in gaming history. Now let’s go watch Starship!
