Kerbal Space Program, the immensely popular space flight simulator game has had its next update released entitled ‘Economic Boom’. Economic Boom takes Kerbal Space Program up to version 0.25, Kerbal Space Program has been in early access since it’s alpha release on June 24th 2011. A small piece from the announcement on the Steam Community section reads:
‘Players will experience a new challenge as the Kerbal Space Center, where players build and launch their rocketships, is now fully destructible. Buildings can be decimated by poorly-steered rocketships and in the game’s Career Mode, require costly repairs for players trying to manage their space agency.
Among these buildings is the new Administration Facility, in which players can select and activate Strategies. The Strategy system is a new gameplay mechanic, where each strategy, once accepted, applies effects over several game aspects, specifically Kerbal Space Program’s three in-game currencies, Funds, Reputation and Science.’
