Felipe (HarvesteR): So last
week I got the new UI widgets pretty much in a presentable state, now
moving forward with the rest of the to-do list. Funds are implemented to
an essential level, which means they’re far from complete, but the game
does already calculate the cost of vessels and charges you for it, or
prevents you from launching altogether if you can’t foot the bill.
Figuring the cost of a vessel was an interesting thing to work on.
Initially, the idea was that the cost of vessels would just be the sum
of the cost of every part, but it seemed much more interesting to factor
in the cost of the resources contained in each part as well. So for
instance, the 10.0 units of Monopropellant on a mk1 pod make up for
12.00 of its 600.00 total cost. On an SRB, on the other hand, the cost
of the fuel is a much more significant percentage of the total. Also,
this does mean that if you set the amount of fuel in the Editors to less
than full, you can make the part slightly cheaper (or a lot in case of
SRBs). This system was a lot more tricky to put together than just
adding up fixed costs, but it should be much more interesting to play
with. I had to go over the cfg values for a lot of parts, to make sure
their costs weren’t set to anything less than the cost of the resources
they contained (that would have been awkward). Several parts have had
some stats tweaked, but most importantly, I’ve tweaked the costs and Isp
values on the Mainsail and the Kerbodyne LF Booster. The Mainsail is
now the more efficient one, so it should be a more appealing option now,
when comparing the two.

Alex (aLeXmOrA): I left everything ready to do
the upgrade of the KSP Forums last Thursday, but due to some last
minute issues we had to postpone it for today. As you can see, the
Forums are now in maintenance mode while I’m running the upgrade script.
This process should be completed for this Thursday’s afternoon and then
the Forums will be running in the last vBulletin 5.1.1 version. After
that, I will start implementing the project I’ve been working with Bob
and Miguel (more about that later).

Mike (Mu): Well it’s been a week of changes
and improvements to the contract systems and adding some new features to
really push the game towards having an actual career mode! Have also
created some new controls which add colour and variety to our text.
We’re finally moving towards a much more consolidated UI which feels a
lot better.

Daniel (danRosas): Going
through the polishing of the animation. And since it’s the first time
that we are more than 2 guys doing art for different Kerbal related
things, I’m starting to supervise those processes, with a little help
from Lalo. It’s being fun and challenging I’m really confident that
there will be plenty of new stuff to show in upcoming months. And
probably you have noticed that the name Hugo has appeared on the lower
section of the Dev Notes. Hugo is helping out during his summer break,
say hi!

Miguel (Maxmaps): Working on some
organizational reporting systems for my work as well as helping scout
small, cool things that can be thrown into 0.24 for a better experience.

Anthony (Rowsdower): Well the forum is down so
you know what that means? Fun with spreadsheets! It’s time to organize
things and get into ship shape. It’s also time for some creative
thinking. I’ve got a contest idea that you all may have a lot of fun
with. In a World Cup sort of mood yet?

Jim (Romfarer):
As Mike mentioned, I’m in the middle of consolidating the UI’s in order
to make them look more similar. We have also had a lot of small changes
and additions to the ui’s over the last months so many of them are due
for a polish.

Rogelio (Roger): It’s been a long week polishing textures and lightning the set but the render is looking pretty good.

Hugo (the intern): Finished a couple pieces
(OMS Engine and Vernier Engine) for the game. Im now helping Daniel and
Rogelio with models for their animations. I just finished a firecracker
and I’m currently working on a kitbash of a space rocket. Im excited to
see how these things start turning out.

• Das Spiel kalkuliert jetzt kosten für die Rakete und verhindert das man Raketen startet die man sich nicht leisten kann
• Nicht nur die Teile kosten etwas, sondern auch der Treibstoff: Das heißt, je weniger Treibstoff man nimmt (natürlich nicht zu wenig), je weniger kostet die Rakete - und das will man doch: Sonden und Satelliten günstig ins all starten, ohne zu viel auszugeben
• Die Kosten und der ISP des Mainsails wurden höhergesetzt sowie die des Kerbodyne LF Booster+
• Der Karrieremodus soll jetzt ein richtiger Karrieremodus sein, durch einige Änderungen und das Geldsystem soll es jetzt richtig cool sein!
• Das geplate Forenupdate, welches ursprünglich für den 22. Mai angesetzt war, wurde durch einige Probleme auf den 27. verschoben, das Forum sollte ab Donnerstag Nachmittag (Squad Zeit) wieder erreichbar sein
• UI`s werden angepasst (?)
• Es gibt ein Aushilfsarbeiter für den Sommer, Hugo
• Dieser Satz hier ("Finished a couple pieces (OMS Engine and Vernier Engine) for the game) deutet darauf hin das es ein paar neue Teile geben wird, ein OMS Triebwerk (OMS= Orbital Manuevering System, verwendet als Space Shuttle Orbital Trirbwerk) und ein Korrekturtriebwerk
