KSP 2 has easily been my most anticipated game for a while now. It's a bummer that there's still a while to wait, but I'm hoping that it's worth it.

You can give Simple Rockets 2 a try in the meantime. It uses fully customizable procedural parts (wings, fuel tanks, even engines) instead of premade parts like KSP, it looks a bit nicer and it includes a visual programming environment for your spacecraft (e.g. you can build a SpaceX-like autoland routine).

I've never tried Simple Rocket, could you compare it to KSP? At a glance, it seems more serious than KSP while KSP has a "fun" edge, but besides that they seem more similar than not.

Same, so far they've mainly showed a lot of visual improvements, but I really hope the technical groundwork is being done as well.
