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.
