Is KSA heading down KSP's path?

[ZSPD.]

我注意到沙特的许多组件和更新设计理念正变得越来越接近KSP。虽然我知道KSA开发团队中有许多成员曾是KSP的开发者，但这两款游戏的核心定位本质上是截然不同的。他们应该打造属于自己的独特风格，而不是让KSA沦为KSP的视觉精炼复制品。
以下是一些未来开发的创意建议：

1. 加入基于广义相对论的部分，设计星系时参考现实中的近距离宇宙星系（或未来的原创虚构星系）。这将使探索太阳系的玩家能够利用这些模块进行星际快速旅行。
2. 开发更多拥有高度细致内部布局的船员居住模块，使玩家能够自由在飞船内移动，体验多样的舱内互动。
3. 扩展科学研究组件的多样性，增加更多功能性的互动模块。
4. 推出更多高端、未来感十足的航空航天零件。
5. 丰富皮肤自定义系统，提供更灵活的涂装选项。

还有许多更有希望的点子等待被探索！我坚信KSA有巨大的潜力脱颖而出，成为像原版KSP 1一样的经典。

ChatGPT translation:

I've noticed that many of KSA's components and recent design updates are becoming increasingly similar to KSP. While I know that many members of the KSA development team are former KSP developers, the core vision of these two games is fundamentally different. KSA should establish its own unique identity rather than becoming a visually polished copy of KSP.


Here are a few ideas for future development:

• Introduce gameplay based on general relativity, with galaxies inspired by nearby real-world galaxies (or original fictional ones in the future). This would allow players exploring the Solar System to use these mechanics for rapid interstellar travel.
• Develop more crew habitation modules with highly detailed interiors, allowing players to freely move around inside their spacecraft and enjoy a wider variety of onboard interactions.
• Expand the variety of scientific research parts by adding more functional and interactive modules.
• Introduce more high-end, futuristic aerospace components.
• Improve the skin customization system with more flexible paint and livery options.

There are many other promising ideas waiting to be explored! I truly believe KSA has the potential to stand out and become a classic in its own right, just like the original KSP 1.

But honestly a lot of overlap with KSP right now doesn't bug me much given how many ex-KSP devs are on the team, that's kind of expected early on. The real test is whether it finds its own identity over time.

The interior/livery/science part ideas are pretty interesting though, worth posting as their own suggestion if you haven't, separate from the "too KSP" framing.

They're certainly going to repeat a number of architectural mistakes, IMO.

Be ready for a future of "Did you try uninstalling and then re-installing mods one at a time?"

This is the kind of thing that happens early on in development, where its KISS it first, everyone nods their heads, then a year or two down the road "well, too late to change it now".

Regardless, I wish them the best of luck.

Yeah thats true, not necessarily what I hope for either, but currently I don't see any issues. Yes, gameplay wise there is still a lot of things missing but everything else is slowly coming together

No major issues now, obviously. Also not a great deal of long-term community dependency.

Things haven't really settled feature-wise, but Kerbal was basically what I'd call this project's "discovery" phase.

The rough requirements are already a playable game (KSP itself), with plenty of community griping about extensibility headaches - all of which are really just due to the way the Unity engine was designed. Developing in-house without any expectation of future outside contribution makes simple standards easy to follow.

Throw random people into the mix, and you basically end up making your own flavor of COM.
