Those Kerbals are really productive little buggers. They built a fully functional mech before us humans did. It's even a Timber Wolf at that! I guess it is a Timberwolf S by the look of those jump jets.

They even built a Drop Ship for it, but expected as much. Kerbals do like space.

P.S. It is a modded version of Kerbal Space Program

Not to mention ksp went live on Steam with a 1.0 product that is incredibly stable and well balanced and has 21k reviews at 98% approval.

Anyone who doesn't own/play ksp is missing out big time. Probably one of the best games of the decade and will be touted as one of the few great successes of early access. One of the most enjoyable and challenging games I've played in a long time. Well balanced, fun from early levels to end game, exceptionally rich and deep without being over complex with a lot of amazing attention to detail.

Yeah. KSP beat mwo to a lot of things :-P

Kerbal wasn't 100% complete when it hit Steam. When I bought the game, it was just a sandbox (everything available from the start).

They have added a lot of things since then. A nicer space complex, more rocket components, a science tree requiring science points to unlock more stuff. Also the game was a bit buggy. It could freeze up if you accelerated time too much ( especially if the item was parachuting down close to the ground).

Also, the game is a bit unfriendly for new players. I had to go on YouTube to get an idea how to make a space plane properly (to start out anyway).

It is a great game, but it isn't perfect and it wasn't perfect or complete when I got it on Steam.

P.S. I'm not saying MWO is perfect nor do I believe it to be on Par with Kerbal. Kerbal did at least have a small tutorial. What I am getting at is Kerbal wasn't the perfect launch title you made it out to be.

Also, Kerbal doesn't have to deal with continous balancing that a multiplayer game goes through. That is a monster to tackle regardless.

*looks at his number of hours played in KSP on the Steam page*

Oh, good god. And that doesn't even count playing the older versions I keep for DarkMultiplayer in KSP that Steam isn't aware of!!
