Idea: use ksp as a benchmarking tool

[Strike_2.0]

I've been looking to use ksp as a benchmarking tool but I realized that it's way harder than most games to get a repeatable result, and I really don't know how to go around to doing it, any suggestions are welcome

You could use something like Mechjeb to get a rocket to fly the same path everytime and then just repeat it with the same rocket, time of day etc. That would give better results than manually flying it.

Or you could build a massive space station and use that and take measurements when it's over a certain point on the planet.
