Vrana Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I am really enjoying Strategia. The Crewed and uncrewed missions make a lot of sense and really help out with finances on Hard(or above) difficulties. This or something similar should have been stock instead of the bland pointless system we have. Only thing bothering me is the "cannot have more then one crewed or uncrewed strategy active at one time" requirement. It becomes a pain once you hit interplanetary, especially if you play with something like OPM. A single interplanetary mission can easily take many years or even decades but you are tied to a single strategy this whole time. When you get to the interplanetary phase of the game the tempo of the game becomes tied to transfer windows. For example before Strategia i always used to run Eve and Duna probe programs simultaneously but it seems like Strategia wants we to do them consecutively. Of course you can just time warp and focus on a single planet at a time... Unless you play with LS mods and have an extensive infrastructure of bases and space stations setup in which case you need additional supply runs and crew rotations and... well you get it. It comes down to deciding whether to sacrifice transfer windows and being forced to do additional supply missions to existing infrastructure or sacrifice some strategies (and their rewards) and run interplanetary exploration simultaneously. Which i guess might be exactly what @nightingale wanted when he designed the system as he did. All this said i am not sure how i would change the system. Maybe allow multiple interplanetary missions but make them cost you credits upfront and increase final rewards instead of getting a significant advance as you do now? Having more then one of these strategies active would make the "failure" conditions completely pointless tough as you would need never cancel them, i guess the punishment would be not getting a return on the initial investment. Anyway.. just throwing out some thoughts, great mod. Edited June 5, 2016 by Vrana Added some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking from a gameplay perspective is that you would instead pick other strategies that might give you more appropriate bonuses if you wanted to go to multiple places (there's a couple that give bonuses for going to more places, and a couple of the probe-based ones require more breadth of planets visited.

Derp. I forgot I had even done that. I was trying to figure out how mark a bunch of science as completed. Is there an 'undo' on that?

ZachPruckowski Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Is Contract Slot Machine supposed to be changing the payouts of already accepted contracts every time I re-load, or is that a bug? My understanding was that it would vary the payouts in the Mission Control building, and then once I picked a contract the payout would be locked in, but that doesn't seem like it's the case. EDIT: Actually it looks like it's changing the payouts every time I switch screens. Which is really annoying because I launch a ship thinking I'll get 800K for a contract and then by the time I'm completing the contract it's worth a fraction of that.

Yeah, I've had this problem as well. Slot Machine can turn existing contracts from useful to useless depending on how much the change actually turns out to be.

nightingale Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 @ZachPruckowski & @ibanix - I thought the main bug (switching the rewards constantly) was fixed a while back. Unless it's an unreleased change, which is possible. Can one of you raise an issue on GitHub for me (currently on vacation, don't want to lose track of this). As far as affecting already accepted contracts it's an unintended side effect, but definitely a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibanix Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 It appears that when upgrading/downgrading Free Ice Cream, it counts as "deactivated", which causes a loss of reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhetaan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) @nightingale: I noticed that it is possible to repeat the Mun and Minmus Probes strategies; all the others have a variation of the 'Must not have landed on <body>' requirement. Since v1.2.3 changed the Mun/Minmus probe strategy rejection criteria so they were no longer mutually exclusive, I wonder whether this is a bug or intended behaviour. If it is a bug, you have my apologies for adding to the 1.1.3 workload. Edited June 23, 2016 by Zhetaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two things to check on this one and I'll have a release out (probably tonight). Everything should be fine in 1.1.3 on the current version, regardless.

nightingale Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 New release here! Strategia 1.2.4 No longer lose reputation bonuses when upgrading/downgrading within the Free Ice Cream I/II/III strategies (thanks ibanix). Bonuses/maluses are preserved when upgrading or downgrading Free Ice Cream. Don't change active contracts when activating Free Ice Cream for the first time (thanks ZachPruckowski). Increased Moho rewards for various strategies (thanks ibanix). Fixed mission requirement in moon probe strategies (thanks ibanix). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardicd Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Question, are the probe strategies meant to be repeatable? I just did the minmus probe program and completed it, now I can take it again... doesn't seem right that you could just do this over and make the money for it again.

nightingale Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks @vardicd & @ibanix. It looks like the strategy is turning off once you do a crewed orbit of the celestial body, when it was meant to be any orbit. That being said, you can technically land a probe without ever orbiting the body, so I should probably change that to landing instead. Anyway, raised #45.

UPDATE: For some random reason, after a period of approximately 30 kerbin days, {was waiting for kerbal construction time to finish building a rocket} the minmus probes strategy deactivated itself. Not sure why there was such a large time delay in there, but it is no longer repeatable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well nothing useful relating to the strategy in that log. Although you should upgrade to the 1.1.3 compatible Waypoint Manager - the old version you're on is log-spamming like crazy.
