deufrai Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi there A quick introduction after less than 10 hours into stock career mode. French guy, starting to grow grey hair, amateur astronomer and astrophotography enthusiast, I stumbled into KSP just a few days ago and already got to learn so much about ships and orbital mechanics. Thanks, among others, to many good YT videos. Gamewise, I achieved my first Mun flyby with maneuver nodes but without any SAS, as I decided to send a scientist up there to boost my tech tree progression. This 'Welcome Aboard" forum description states that this is the right place to get quick tips, so here I go : The Pilot I used to fly (jebediah) died after having achieved Kerbin orbit, put the Sputnik in high Kerbin orbit and also gained SAS ability + prograde + retrograde. He then resurrected according to my 'Normal' difficulty set level and settings. But those 3 abilities are gone. What is the best way to regain those abilities ? I assume redoing what he already achieved won't do the job and that I'm better off hiring a new pilot and make him gain those abilities quickly before aiming to further targets. Is that assumption correct ? Anyway, clear skies to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Kerman Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Welcome to the forum, @deufrai. Any kerbal, Jeb included, becomes level 1 on first orbit - regardless if they have been resurrected. Experience makes all classes better at their jobs. There is a rundown on the wiki that explains the requirements and abilities: https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deufrai Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi Thanks for the reply. I did acutally see the wiki page you mentionned. My interrogation is : as Jeb gained level 1 on his firt orbit before he died, will he gain level 1 again if I put him as Pilot of a ship I send in orbit ?

deufrai Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi again, Just did an orbit with resurrected Jeb, and he got his first star back. Thanks for the info / tip :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
