Kerbal Space Program: Breaking
Ground Expansion is the second expansion for the PC version
of the critically acclaimed space flight simulator, Kerbal Space
Program. This feature-rich expansion is focused on
increasing the objective possibilities once celestial bodies have
been reached by adding more interesting scientific endeavors and
expanding the toolset.
After landing on a celestial body, a variety of data collecting
equipment can now be deployed to conduct scientific experiments.
While gathering that data, newly added surface features have been
scattered across the solar system, which players will need to go
out in search of to either scan or bring back to Kerbin for further
examination.
Additionally, robotic parts are being added! A hinge, piston,
rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will be accessible to
massively alter the possibilities of players’ crafts. These all
operate under realistic physics with real forces and torque,
electricity consumption, and even motor mass.
Take on new challenges with a breadth of added tools and parts
in KSP’s second expansion, Breaking Ground. Weather stations, solar
panels, and more allow players to collect science over time, while
they venture out to research mysterious surface features such as
cryovolcanoes with new robotic parts.
- Deployed Science:
Scientific experiments have always gone hand-in-hand with space
exploration and are now becoming an even greater focus in KSP.
Players will be able to utilize a storage container in their craft
that can hold various pieces of science equipment. Upon reaching
their destination, players will need to deploy the equipment, which
includes a central station, booster antenna, solar panel, weather
station, active seismometer, RTG, goo observation, and ion
detector. These pieces of equipment must be left out for a period
of time to fully collect all of the scientific data and relay it
back to Kerbin. The active seismometer in particular asks players
to deliberately crash things into a celestial body to gather
seismic data!
- Surface Features: A
major addition with Breaking Ground is found on the celestial
bodies scattered throughout the solar system. Meteors, craters,
rock outcroppings, cryovolcanoes and more now populate the
landscape. While smaller surface features can be transported back
to KSC by Kerbals themselves, larger ones provide a greater
challenge and will require Kerbals to venture out in rovers or send
unmanned rovers. By attaching the new robotic rover arm to their
rovers, players can scan the larger surface features to collect
important scientific data.
- Robotic Parts:
Long-requested robotics parts will now be available for use in KSP!
A hinge, piston, rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will
allow players to tackle new challenge as well as enhance the
creativity of their crafts. To coincide with these new parts, the
addition of a robotics controller system will let players
coordinate the behavior of all the different parts on their
craft.
- A New Suit: Of course,
the ever-important Kerbal fashion can never be forgotten. With
Breaking Ground players will receive a new suit that is futuristic
in aesthetic and tied to the science-focus of this expansion.
