Revision as of 23:18, 8 October 2014
The features listed here are planned for future versions of Kerbal Space Program and may change during the course of development.
This list is not an official road-map for KSP. It is maintained by the community, and has no direct relation to what may or may not be included in the final product. Already implemented features can be found in the version history.
Contents
Future features
| Current version: 1.12.2 |
This section lists all planned features for future releases. Entries highlighted in blue are planned for the next update (soon). Entries in yellow have been partially implemented. Entries in green are already in development but are not expected for the next update or are that huge that there are multiple updates incrementally adding that feature.
The next version will most likely be 0.26, but it is possible that an intermediate version might be released.
The entries on the list are not a commitment, and the developer team is not under any obligation to implement them all. These features may be pushed back or implemented on another way then suggested here.

- Maxmaps has gone on record with claiming new planets are, "a big maybe."[11]
- Expanded biomes on bodies beyond Kerbin, Mun and Minmus[12]
Physics & dynamics
- Re-entry heat or damage [15]

- Realistically sized celestial bodies [27]
- Mining parts for gathering resources beyond current scope (On hiatus until a better method can be found)[28]
- Resources beyond present scope (Fuel, Oxygen, Electricity, etc.)[29]
- Weapons or military features[citation needed]
- Autopilot systems[citation needed]
- Alien civilizations[citation needed]
