Turned on KSP last night and realized a new update had pushed! As usual, there were quite a few bugs with the new update, but several of those had already been patched this morning. The game's engine has definitely been smoothed out a bit, and there's now a new Astronaut Office where you can further develop the crew.

With the new update, the MechJeb mod won't work properly (the actual part won't attach to your spacecraft), so until that's fixed I probably won't go much further than the Mun. Still, the new additions are nice, and with a few more bug fixes, this will shape up to be a good update.

Is anyone else playing? What are your thoughts on the upgrade?

So far I've failed to make it out of orbit. Only played it once though.

Kind of wish the tutorials were more extensive. The one on how to launch a ship tells you almost nothing. They will probably be redone for the actual release, but at the moment I'm a little lost.

Flying planes are a lot easier now with the SAS new functionality. More texture detail and the ability to choose your Kerbalnauts is pretty nice.
