Kerbal Space Program: [0.25] – Economic Boom is Live
11 years ago
Kerbal Space Program .25 Economic Boom has finally come.
This update brings several new things to the game from Spaceplane+ to the new Administration Facility.
There are really too many additions to this update to list them all here, your best bet would be to check out their FAQ page here or this thread here.
A Few of the highlights for this update are:
Spaceplane+: More spaceplane parts, plus more parts for rockets as well. And best of all, cargo bays.
Administration Building: Players will be able to select and activate Strategies. This is a new player mechanic will affect aspects of the game for Carrier Mode.
In Depth Difficulty System: Players will be able to better customize how hard core they want their game to be.
Upgraded FX on Explosions: Kind of self explanitory here.
Destructible Building: Watch those falling parts, a damaged part of the KSP facility can be rather costly to fix/replace.
64Bit Issues
There is a issue with the 64Bit build, they are working on it, but it can be a bit unstable.
Have fun

KSP .25 Secret Feature Revealed – Destructable Buildings!
11 years ago
KSP showing off destructable buildings
The Kerbal team has revealed the Secret feature of the upcoming .25 update. Destructable Buildings!
This is a feature that players will be able to toggle through the menu. With this enabled, players will need to be more careful when launching new rockets or landing planes on the runway. Falling debris will be able to damage or destroy buildings in the KSP complex. Repairing/rebuilding these buildings and structures will not be cheap.
Some other planned features for .25 are the following.
Administration Building – This will allow you to choose various strategies to help boost certain areas of your space program. These can come at a expense of others, and there is a limit to how many you will be able to do.
New effects – Particle and sound fx has been largely overhauled, this should help improve the look and feel of rocket sounds and explosions.
Spaceplane Part Overhaul – Several new parts along with integration of Spaceplane Plus, a popular mod for KSP.
Accessibility improvements – Many of us have been waiting for this one for a while. This update adds more markers to your navbal and pointers to let you know were your marker is (Thank god). There will also be a button to push thrust to 100%.
Kerbal Experience – Recovering kerbals will now reward you based on where they have been, and what they have done. They now will have a personal “Career” log showing what each kerbal has done.
Difficulty panel – Much needed addition. This will allow players set how hard core they want their game to be.
When?
Soon, hopefully. They have been putting .25 through QA over the past 1-2 weeks, so it should be soon.

Minecraft Bukkit – Teetering on the brink
11 years ago
The End? Well maybe.
It seems that EvilSeph has left Bukkit and had intended to shut down the project. Mojang owns bukkit, they had purchased it 2 years ago when jeb and Dinnerbone joined Mojang.
Both Jeb and Dinnerbone have tweeted that they will not let the project die.
Much of this drama seems to have started around update 1.7.10 when Mojang started enforcing parts of their EULA, and according to EvilSeph they eventually for a DMCA takdown notice.
More detailed info on a post from Mojang and their stance can be found here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mojang-and-the-bukkit-project.309715/
A timeline thats a bit easier to understand can be found here: https://storify.com/lukegb/the-tale-of-bukkit-for-minecraft-1-8
The Future?
Will this be the end for Bukkit? Could be. The MC community could see a 1.8 update for it since Jeb and Dinnerbone have spoken up about seeing the community continue on, but I do not see the future of bukkit being the same. With Microsoft’s purchase of Mojang/Minecraft it is hard to tell what the future of the game in general will be.
As a side note Microsoft has stated that they will not stop YouTuber’s from monitising minecraft as long as they follow the rules set down by YouTube.
What about our server?
All this does not affect our Tekkit server. We moved away from Bukkit about a year or so ago. Having to vet all the plugins, the worry that some of the plugins that were core to our server dieing, and that people got impatient for updates to the newest MC version were why we left Bukkit.
