gollark: How much of it, anyway?
gollark: Not sure that needs a ping...
gollark: I mean, they are newish features, but I'm not sure they're interesting enough to be worth an entirely new purchase vs KSP 1, with its mods.
gollark: This KSP 2 looks quite like existing KSP with better graphics (well, that's the trailer, not necessarily ingame footage) and more parts for colonies and stuff.
gollark: You know, if I remember correctly, one of the RGB SSDs around was mis-powering its LEDs and making the actual SSD overheat.
