Manned before... actually, No Kerbal Left At Home mod idea

[theJesuit]

Hi all,

So this has been at the back of my mind for a little while, but some recent requests for an Unmanned [uncrewed] before Manned [Crewed] update or alternative tech tree got me aiming to implement it.

So first up, I'll shamelessly advertise this:

and then explain this wacky concept: No Kerbal Left at Home.

Rather than relying on probe cores and computers to do the exploring for kerbalkind, let us allow them to face the danger and the unknown eyeballs first.

My idea is to either nerf all probe cores to be useless.  They won't be able to control anything.  One option would be to get rid of the module control.  Another would be to simply remove them from the game.  A lesser option would make them all as useful as a Stayputnik.

The idea being that EVERY craft, include relays would require a living kerbal to be on board, or at least be present for delivery to the desired orbit.

So, please vote, on whether this would have a market or not, and offer criticism or advice in the comments.  I'm happy for "Noooooos!" and "Why would anyone do such a crazy bottomed thing?"...or something a little more positive.  Either way.  I'm happy to make and release it.

Peace.

This would be as simple as a MM script which deletes all parts with a ModuleCommand and crew =0

IMHO, this isnt adding anything to the game.  If you want to play like that, you can without needing a mod for it
