Extract valuable resources from all over the solar system. Discover new worlds and expand the scientific knowledge of Kerbalkind. Take on Missions to attract interest in your Space Program. Research and Develop new technologies to advance your Space Program. Manage your crewmembers, hire them, and send them out into space and make them into heroes. Dock spacecraft together to build Space Stations, Massive Starships, or even surface bases on other worlds. Full control over the ship’s setup allows for complex ships and advanced functionality. Build ships with multiple stages, and jettison parts away as they burn out. Keep an eye out for engine temperatures and fuel levels, and try not to explode. Mod-enabled, allows players to create new content and modify the game.
Procedural Terrain delivers detailed terrain at a vast scale. Take your Kerbal crew out of the ship and do Extra Vehicular Activities. Fully-fledged, Physics-based Space Flight Simulation ensures everything will fly (and crash) as it should. The Vehicle Assembly Building and the Space Plane Hangar allows players to build spacecraft out of any imaginable combination of parts. The game offers three gameplay modes: Sandbox, in which you are free to build anything you can think of Science Mode, which lets you perform Scientific experiments to advance the knowledge of Kerbalkind and further the available technology and Career Mode, in which you must manage every aspect of your Space Program, including administration strategies, Crew Management, Reputation, as well as taking up Contracts to earn Funds and upgrade your Space Center Facilities (or repair them).Īdd to this the ability to capture asteroids (a feature done in collaboration with NASA), Mining for resources out across the furthest reaches of the Solar System, Constructing Bases and Space Stations in and around other worlds plus literally thousands of mods from a huge active modding community, all add up into the award-winning game that has taken the space sim genre by storm. So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science!
Each part has its own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn’t). At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. In KSP you must build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying its crew out into space without killing them.
