Can you explain a bit more what is happening with KSP 2?

Congratulations! :)

Try toggling to editor (type /editor in the console) and seeing if the game is paused there (the "time" panel).

Its the classic design technique, of always leaving room for improvement :)

Judging by my recent mod releases, i've been sleeping for the last 18 months

I used a console command to start a cutscene, something like:

/c
game.player.set_controller
{
  type = defines.controllers.cutscene,
  waypoints =
  {
    {
      position = game.player.position,
      transition_time = 1,
      time_to_wait = 60,
      zoom = 2
    },
    {
      position = game.player.position,
      transition_time = 3 * 60,
      time_to_wait = 60,
      zoom = 0.5
    },
    {
      position = {0,0},
      transition_time = 3 * 60,
      time_to_wait = 60,
      zoom = 0.5
    },
    {
      position = {0,0},
      transition_time = 3 * 60,
      time_to_wait = 60,
      zoom = 2
    },
  }
}

The crashing doesn't cause any damage, its just a visual effect. I was thinking to make it damage things, but since the final suicide flight path is randomised, it would be some unpredictable mechanic, and people would probably ask that I make it try to land somewhere safe.

It drops 1 stack at a time

The problem is the distinction between W, W+D, and D for example is too subtle. Instinctively you would move the stick right to turn right, but in that case you end up going right without acceleration which most of the time is not what you want. In practice it's extremely fiddly to turn and accelerate. It involves trial and error on every turn as you find the positions for W, W+D and D.

Yes, that's the plan. Currently the intensity is hardcoded at 80%.

It's not that it was removed. The current implementation does not take into account this setting(which doesn't even exist), so the current behavior is how mouse and keyboard behave without special handling.
