It was for a science fiction RPG system called “Traveller”, and took over for me from D&D as my primary RPG of choice. I’d spent hours in middle school running ship designs to get the best possible combination of weight/cost/dis…
Well – bad news [http://www.pcinvasion.com/kerbal-space-program-devs-quit]. One of my favorite “games” – Kerbal Space Program – has lost a large chunk of it’s development team over at Squad.

Here at Squad we’re looking into the future and we have great and ambitious plans for the KSP franchise and even more! Looks like they’re trying to rehire. Completely unknown at this time is how…
