Mobile vs Desktop

@sflanker I have to agree with you on overload, REO, designer tools, crew dragon hud and vizzy++, they are what I use and they are so helpful.

@hendore Here's a list of some great (IMHO) mods. (Disclaimer several of these are mods I developed or worked on)

• Overload - Tool for editing hidden properties of parts and part modifiers that would otherwise require manually editing XML files.
• Realistic Engine Overhaul - More fuel types and power cycle options and more realistic thrust and fuel efficiency (a must for using realistically scaled solar systems).
• Real Fuel Tanks - Fuel tanks with more realistic capacity/size ratios.
• Designer Tools - This is new and still a bit buggy but it adds some key features to the designer such as adding 2d images to act as guides, and an orthographic camera mode.
• Real Magnets - A part mod that introduces an electro magnet. This can be used in place of docking ports and has a much better physics model.
• Crew Dragon HUD - Adds a Heads Up Display like you get in the SpaceX Crew Dragon simulator to make docking easier (and adds some 3d guides).
• SR2LoggerPlus - Output data using log messages and/or variables to either a file or an external program (via UDP socket).
• Vizzy++ - Some additional expressions and instructions for Vizzy that either make things easier, or give you access to game internals not otherwise exposed (like detailed orbital elements).
• VizzyGL - Vizzy instructions to draw 3d graphics in the flight and map view (non-physical, non-colliding, objects).

Not actually, a mod but also useful is the Craft Resize Tool

I think both are just fine

Figured out how to install and enable mods, just browsing through them now and I'm getting so excited at what looks to be possible.

pc is better

@sflanker Thanks for your feedback, I ended up purchasing for Mac too and I'm flying through the challenges, the design mode certainly does make more sense with a mouse though everything I learn here I'm sure I can apply to the mobile version when on the move. Have you got any advice for mods (installing, enable/disabling, favourites)?

I mostly use PC/Mac and definitely prefer it to mobile. Being able to use mods makes a huge difference in what is possible, and as more mods are developed this gap will grow. I also personally prefer the mouse/keyboard UI for the designer and vizzy editor. Manually flying a craft is actually a nice experience on mobile because you have the joystick mode, but on PC you can use a real joystick/game controller. With good hardware you can also get a better graphics experience on PC/Mac. Whenever i see a super low resolution non-anti-aliased screenshot from a mobile device I cannot help but cringe.

@hendore there actually is a stock droneship on the standart planet, its in the ocean somewhere. Some people have made their own droneships aswell which can be spawned in after setting the proper launch location.

@Insanity Thanks for the reply, I've just been browsing some of the available crafts the community has made, one of them was a SpaceX drone ship, in the description it says the location the ship can be found at, I couldn't find a way in the mobile app to place something I've built on a planet so I'm guessing this is a mod and not simply a downloadable craft?

The devs are trying to get the two versions to be as similar as possible and besides mods (which just wouldnt be possible) and planet studio, the mobile version has basically all the same features as the pc version.
