Butcher. — *Really* deep.

Damien. — @egg I first used principia in RO/RP-1 and while it did work as a learning experience, it was highly suboptimal. I learned more in a short few weeks break to do stuff in stock and RSS/SMURFF than I had in months of RO/Principia
<discord-_>
Butcher. — I just hardcored it in rss

Damien. — the lunar milestone career restart disease put a cap on learning stuff lol
<discord-_>
Damien. — so a trip to stock/RSS-SMURFF to speedrun the milestones really helped
<discord-_>
Builderbast. — I haven't had many issues with learning principia in my rp1 career
<discord-_>
Builderbast. — reading the documentation helped a lot, as well as sending a probe with a lot of delta v and the pure purpose of practicing helps a lot
<discord-_>
egg. — yeah, that kind of craft is the way to go to get used to things, but generally career games disincentivize lobbing a lot of fuel just to fool around with orbital mechanics :-p
<discord-_>
Builderbast. — yeah true
<discord-_>
Builderbast. — for me the main difficulty was getting used to all the reference frames, but once you actively start messing around with manouvers they start to make a lot of sense

Damien. — yeah getting the hang of the UI is easy enough, but having the tech and dv budget to play with low energy transfers and interplanetary assists etc is locked behyind a lot of early game grind

Damien. — the early game grind is why I barely play any more
<discord-_>
egg. — I do hope that things like @Sir Mortimer’s KC will help create a more interesting modern-space experience so that the focus isn’t all on the fifties and sixties
<discord-_>
Damien. — me too
<discord-_>
Damien. — that kind of objective generation sounds like it'll be really compelling
<discord-_>
Damien. — instead of just go here do that and ticking a box
