    Kerbal Space Program

    This looks like quite an interesting game:

    You basically have your own space program.

    There is quite a large thread over on OcUK about it:

    Don't you love it when you've figured out how you're going to waste your whole evening, before 11am

    Re: Kerbal Space Program

    Wasted a few hours on this last night(the demo), still very alpha(stable though), but they do seem to be working quite quickly and supporting mods from the outset, already a good few out there including moon bases and loads more parts.

    Really addictive, you can easily spend hours tweaking one design. Definitely one to watch.

    Anyone got the paid version? How much better is it than 0.13?

    Re: Kerbal Space Program

    I caved in and donated $15 to them(even though I am skint ATM) which means you will get all releases after 0.13 and the final version too. The newer versions support more than one ship and there are additional mods AFAIK. Once I have had a go on 0.14 I shall report back some of my findings!!

    The developer is a small Indie studio from Mexico and their forums seem pretty decent too,so TBH its not too much money to help them out IMHO.

    Please do Cat, really think this has some potential. Particularly if they go down a "Theme Spacerace" kind of avenue.

    Many of the mods seem to be modelled on modern launch systems.

    This chap has done a load of mods,including some modifications to the game itself:
