Why did my scientist not level up?


Recommended Posts

I have a scientist named Lanny, that I resuced from oribt and thus he was level 1 before I send him on two missions, one to orbit Mun and one to flyby Minmus.

According to the data in game he now has 8 XP (if my math is right)

According to the KSPedia 8XP will get him to  level 2, but as you can see on the screenshot he is still level one.

Why did he not reach level 2 when he came back home?

according to the wiki (no idea if that's still accurate) flyby is 1 XP and the xp modifier of minmus is x2.5, so the minmus flyby probably only counts as 2.5 XP but is rounded up in the display.

if that's how it works, your kerbal actually only has 7.5 XP in total.

Yup.  The displayed values are inaccurate because of rounding.

Happy landings!

Oh great, so the KSPedia is inaccurate :(

No.  The Wiki KSPedia is accurate.  The values displayed in the Astronaut Complex for XP are inaccurate.

Happy landings!

eta: Not sure about KSPedia.  Haven't checked.
