I have contracts that ask me to create stations and outposts that have 'facilities' for a certain number of kerbals. Does this just mean command pods and lander cans with enough capacity for them? Some contracts also specify that the station must have a 'research lab'. Does that mean the MPL-LG-2 Mobile Processing Lab?

Yes, I did mean Kerbin. I get my different kerbs confused. I was going to say "Well, what if the flyover craft is a spaceship in orbit, carrying multiple landers." And then I realized that it is pretty trivial to make sure that whenever something is coming down to Kerbin, I just switch to it and fly it, with everything else just waiting in space until later. Unfortunately, I won't be able to drop three landers rapidly over three nearby points. But, as you explained that's a problem with base KSP, and it really isn't that big of a hassle to drop them one at a time. So problems solved. I don't actually need the feature I was requesting.

Is there a way to temporarily disable this plugin? Or maybe a way to set it to not recover certain stages of specific craft? In the 0.9 Career Mode, I have quite a few missions that require me to have a crew landed on Kerbol at some specific location to do a crew report, and I'd like to be able to have a fly-over craft that carries and drops a lander at those locations. But at the moment, with stage recovery installed, those landers get recovered and disappear before I can do the crew report. For now, I'm exiting the game and uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin every time I go from one mission type to another, which is a bit of a pain. I tried unchecking "Recover Kerbals", but that didn't help, I'm guessing it must mean kerbals who are not inside a ship/lander.

Ok, I understand. So my follow up question (which I now realize I should have asked in the first place): Is there a way to see where the zone is before you accept the contract? I'd like to know where I'm going when I'm trying to determine if a contract is going to be profitable / worth the effort.

If I have a contract that references specific zones in its objectives, like "Take a crew report in flight above 17,100 meters near Zone 3A-QNS", how do I figure out where that zone is?
