Input Wanted

[General Apocalypse]

I want to develop a new mod that would redo the career contracts.
There have been several mods around but they are often outdated , bugged or too small in scope.

I imagined that this mod would be similar to Career Evolution but I would integrate (after getting the proper permissions) contracts from other mods.

The must have mods that I plan to integrate are : Scan Sat , Kerbal Konstructs , Planetary Base Inc. and Extra Planetary Launchpads since they add desperately needed functions to the game. The mod will be built using Contract Configurator since the original code seems kind of a mess and I simply lack the time that it would probably take to rewrite it from scratch.

The goal of the mod is to create a narrative on which you can play your game from the first steps to launching your old crew from the base on Eeloo , having them dock with their transport vessel in orbit and send them to Kerbin and then via another transfer land them at KSP.

I was thinking that the contracts should configured with a number of missions for each celestial body .

Since manned and unmanned mission have drastically different requirements of dV I've split them into the following categories and given some of them program name .

Unmanned:
    1. First flyby - Voyager
    2. First orbit and relay - Pioneer
    3. First polar orbit, mapping, biome specific science - Explorer
    4. First impact - void - Viking A
    5. First impact - atmosphere - Viking B
    6. First soft landing - void - Mariner A
    7. First soft landing - atmosphere - Mariner B
    8. First orbit and return - Ranger
    9. First soft landing and return
    10. First high atmosphere science
    11. First automatic rover - Pathfinder
    12. First solar observatory - Helios
    13. First low orbit solar observatory
    14. First deep space relay - orbit beyond Eeloo
    15. First UAV helicopter
    16. Unmanned asteroid science

Manned:

    1. Kerbin suborbital rockets - Icarus
    2. Kerbin LKO Science - Mercury
    3. Mun and Minimus orbit and landing - Apollo
    4. First orbit and return - Vanguard (must perform spacewalk)
    5. First polar orbit and biome specific science - Discovery
    6. First landing and return
    7. First manned rover
    8. First research station
    9. First space shipyard
    10. Fist orbital fuel depot
    11. First orbital refinery
    12. First mining base
    13. First surface based refinery
    14. First shipyard and launch pad
    15. First runway - for planets with atmosphere
    16. Manned asteroid capture
    17. Manned Helicopter
    18. First manned beyond Eeloo fuel depot , science and comm relay space station

What I would love to hear from you is your opinion of this project , if you would like to see such a mod added (given that there are some out there).

Also please let me know if you thing that some programs should be merged with others , if you would like to add new programs or if you have some additional suggestions for program names.

Thank you for reading this. Please let me know what you think.

I suggest  you use Contract Configurator to do this

[General Apocalypse]

I have mentioned that I will most likely use Contract Configurator since the original game code seems kind of a mess and I simply lack the time that it would probably take to rewrite it from scratch. I should have probably highlight it better.

Thanks for the reply and for your many mods.

I would really enjoy a newer and deeper version of career evolution. I really like the idea for your vanguard mission too.

 

Recently i did a minmus landing contract and an eva contract in the same launch using an apollo styled lander. It felt extremely rewarding
