FWIW, as a veteran KSP player, I'm having fun. I love love love the new designs of the UI. It makes a hell of a lot more sense and the tutorials will teach even the most veteran of players something new.

The question you have to ask yourself is could this be better? Yes. Is it worth buying? Sure.
I watched the videos from the developers and designers and there is a lot of love put into this game from a passionate crew.

If you're expecting a "complete" game from something that's Early Access, then that's your own fault. Will it have bugs? Definitely. Will it feel like it's "missing something"? Of course.

...But if you made it this far, you're not paying $50 for any of the above, you're paying $50 to support the next generation of Kerbal Space Program. There will be more updates and bugfixes and features and optimizations...just be patient.

Also, a word of caution, negativity is more "entertaining" than support. People make money off of bashing things because it's more entertaining than someone like me who's overall having fun with it.

Buy it, poke around with it, have some fun. I'm enjoying it.
