Hi everybody.
I am not familiar with modding but I've got an idea to improve the gameplay in career mode and I would like to share it with you.
If some of you find it relevant and think it can be modded, I would be glad to help as much as I can.
My idea is to remove the mechjeb part and include the mechjeb functions in both pilots aptitudes and probe caracteristics.
To make it fun, the number of functionalities available should raise with: the Xp-level of the pilot / the tech-level of the probe.
I started to think at the balance adjustments with 6 steps :
#
Pilot lvl
PROBE
FUNCTIONALITIES unlocked
1
0
Stayputnik Mk1
SAS / Delta-V stats
2
1
Probodobodyne OKTO
Smart A.S.S. / RCS balancer / Smart RCS
3
2
Probodobodyne HECS
Maneuver planner / Node editor
4
3
Probodobodyne QBE
CH-J3 fly-by-wire
Translatron / Rover Autopilot
5
4
Probodobodyne OKTO 2
Ascent / landing & spaceplane guidance
6
5
RC-001S / Mk2 Drone / RC-L01
Rendez-vous & docking guidance
The idea is to include the following function by default in all modules & probes:
Vessel info
Utilities
Warp helper
Surface info
Orbit info
In addition, the tech tree position of the probe could be modified to have earlier access to it, for example:
Probe
Tech prereq
Stayputnik Mk1
Stability
Probodobodyne OKTO
Flight control
Probodobodyne HECS
Advanced flight control
Probodobodyne QBE
Precision engineering
I let you comment my idea, let me know if you like it, if you think it's realisable, how to do it ... etc
Sorry if someone already posted a similar idea somewhere else on the forum, i just didn't find a similar thread.
