N-body/langragian points?
Former Inferno lead, BTA fredder-ish and DE fredder. Driven out by ordinary fascists the_e, aesaar and general battuta. Will return if they're ever removed.

I'd bet good money that's the entire idea behind doing a sequel.  Too many KSP players got in on the original EULA--guaranteeing they'd get free content updates--for Take Two's liking.  A sequel not only pushes a lot of people toward a second buy-in on the base game, but allows them to start charging people for content updates DLC packs.

Honestly it'd be a pretty bad design decision. Patched conics and manoeuvre nodes work really well for making approximately realistic orbital manoeuvres that you can still fly mostly by the seat of your pants
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

They already charge for the updates 😭😭

I for one am super excited to see this, especially after I've gotten a decent flight stick!

That being said, even beyond new features, there's a massive amount that could be gained from a fresh start. KSP's physics engine is notorious for not being able to handle more than a modest amount of ship components before framerates plummet and the infamous Kraken rears its tentacled head.
