Mission Ideas

[Knowlesie468]

So I know that I run out of ideas for new things quite alt. So I created this for people to post new ideas for each other and things like that.

One way is using a premade generator, like this: http://kspmissiongenerator.webs.com/hard-missions

It's good to establish what you've accomplished thus far, so we don't suggest something you've already done. If I had to hazard a guess, however, I'd wager that you have yet to set up a long-term mission to, for example, Duna. Also, when in doubt, there are mods to add new functionality (Kethane, RemoteTech) and challenge (Ferram Aerospace, Deadly Re-Entry, TAC Life Support).

If you haven't done any of the below:

Eve return mission

SSTO (or the mun/Minmus)

Grand tour

Download the extraplantery mod and go to sentar

Build a VTOL

Mobile 500t base on dres.

Coms sat everywhere

Stations

Voyager style (using eve and Jool)

Re-create real life launches.

I'm doing Career mode with Ferram Aerospace, Deadly reentry, TAC life support, Remote tech, Kethane, KAS, and a couple of parts packs (KW and Novapunch, unfortunately B-9 would put me over the 3.5 GB limit KSP has). A heck of a lot of fun and a bit more challenging than stock. Also, I'm not using fuel pumps.

Also, I hate how the forums log you out every two minutes, even when you select remember me...

Thanks. I'm sure I think i'm gonna try and go to Duna.

No Easy/Normal missions, only Hard missions.

[Khrissetti]

My sig has a crude generator which can produce missions as easy as 'orbit Kerbin' up to 'grand tour of the solar system in a non-nuclear SSTO'

You mean "only missions".

I recently tried something (to me) completley new: Using the cupola pod on the launch pad and correct timing, you can see more planets in the IVA view then you would think. I've managed to get pictures of the Mün, Minmus, Eve, Duna and Jool only by zooming and looking around.

It provides a few minutes of entertainment atleast

It just generated this as a hard mission

HARD MISSIONS

Ship Type:

- Orbital Probe (Unmanned)

Mission Destination:

- Kerbin

Objective:

- Equatorial Orbit

Condition 1:

- No Debris

Condition 2:

- No Nuclear Engines

Land on every body and return in one flight with no docking.

Like a boss.

Mobile 500t base on dres.

So is it on wheels or something? Or is it like a space station that you are meticulously landing and lifting off again each time you need to move it.

I'm quite curious to know how you're making that one work.

Condition 2:

If anything, I feel like it would be harder to build a ship that requires docking to make it to orbit.
