In KSP 1, the achievements you can get usually have some witty name/pun/reference, like "Kerboy BeBop" (land on Bop). What ideas do you all have for achievement names in KSP 2? Here are some I came up with:

-Cooper: Play the game for 35 hours

-The Watcher: Enter orbit of Puf

-Cannot, Will Not, Must Not Interfere: Land on Puf

-Never Tell Me The Odds: Fly through a planetary ring with no collisions

-Debstep: Visit the DebDeb system

-Toasty: Enter orbit of Charr

-Carbonized: Land on Charr

-Here Am I Floating In My Tin Can: Send a Kerbal to High Kerbin Orbit

-Trees!: Enter orbit of Lapat (not an officially revealed planet, was briefly shown in a feature video)

-Lapat Yourself On The Back: Land on Lapat

What criteria should an achievement be based on? Should there be one for every body? 

-“No, it’s necessary”: land on skoot

-Trebuchet enthusiast: launch from skoot’s equatorial mountain

-Polar Express: get into polar orbit of a star

-Gloomy: descend into the depths of Glumo

-Pancake crawler: use a rover on Ovin

-Warp factor 9: reach 0.9c

-Sticks and sparks: unlock the torch drive

-Orbital bombardement: orbit Gurdamma

-Cloudy with a chance of meteor: land on Gurdamma

-One-day shipping: complete a supply route to the Mun

-Postal delays: complete an interstellar supply route

-Too many Gs: set up an interstellar communication link

it wouldnt really work to only have achivements on some planets. and it would be annoying to make an achivement for each planet. rather i think it would be better to have an achivement for landing on all planets or doing a big milestone.(reaching orbit,orbit the sun,plant flag on the moon,land on another planet, go to another solar system, land on a planet on another solar system and also things with colonies.)

I was figuring that there would be one achievement for orbiting a body, and one for landing (if applicable), plus whatever extras.

Fair point. The system I was envisioning works in KSP 1, but in KSP 2, where there will be many more planets... yeah, it might get tedious. Relegating achievements to larger milestones/specific challenges isn't a bad idea. Then again, you'll probably visit most of those planets as you play the game anyway, so maybe it still works?

A few more I came up with:

Perfectly Balanced: Reach the Lagrange point between Rask and Rusk

I Was Lost, But Now I Live Here: Set up a colony anywhere

Open The Pod Bay Doors: Design a spacecraft that uses the Kal-1000 Controller

Fly, You Fools: Fly from Rask to Rusk or vice versa in *short amount of time* (achievable only by launching straight up when the other one is overhead)

My suggestions are a bit less ambitious than others have been, but I suspect a good number of achievements will be for the early game.

Point correct end towards space: Complete the first tutorial.

Spaaaaaaaace: Reach space.

Half way to anywhere: Reach Kerbin orbit.

What goes up...: Return from Kerbin orbit and recover the craft.

Good landing: Bring a Kerbal back safely from atmospheric flight.

Great landing: Bring a Kerbal back safely from Kerbin orbit.

Oh the kermanity!: Lose a Kerbal.

Dear Mun: Fly by the Mun.

Scanning for cheese: Orbit the Mun.

One Small (Mis-)Step: Land a Kerbal on the Mun.

Ooh, shiny: Fly by Minmus.

What an Achieve-mint: Orbit Minmus.

This is definitely not edible!: Land on Minmus. (Because Minmus is apparently going to be made of glass in KSP2...)

Home sweet home: Build your first colony.

Not that kind of boom, Jeb!: Trigger a boom event for a colony.

Are those potatoes?: Build a colony on Duna.

404 Not Found: Land on Dres.

Jool's jewels: Land on all of Jool's moons.

HOW!?!?: Return home from the surface of Eve.

The. What.: Land on the surface of Jool.

I can't even...: Land on the surface of the Sun (Kerbol).

Star player: Reach another solar system.

-A hop, a skip, and a jump: jump into orbit on Gilly (just EVA)

-Kerbal Submarine Program: investigate the oceans of 7 watery planets (reach the bottom at a deep point)

-No place like Centrifuge: have kerbals be indefinitely happy with a centrifuge

-Full ballast: pack enough Snacks for a century (or decade?)

Really like that last one. Maybe have it be on Duna?

Land on Duna with 6 Kerbals on board, and raise the same ship to orbit with only 5 present.  Something like that.

On the topic of achievements, I hope all of the more special ones are hidden by default on steam.

Make an orbiting colony (I’m assuming these will be larger than standard space stations)

Make a colony on a large asteroid?
