Hey guys and gals! So lately I've been thinking about what more could be added to the game, now that it's in it's later stages of development. I've begun to feel, and I acknowledge that not everyone will agree, that there is huge potential for KSP's career mode. As we all know, the aim of career mode is to build and grow your very own space company. This in itself is a challenge I know! But after extended play, and once a nice company is established, it can become a tad easy and repetitive at times. But wait! I know what you're gonna say! "You need to set yourself harder challenges Governor!" I know! And that's what gave me this awesome idea. As the title suggests, and I hope this hasn't already been suggested (couldn't find it on the lists), my hope is to see competitive AI that are competing with you for contracts, reputation, highly regarded kerbal's etc. Now before you say anything! They don't necessarily have to be visible in-game, perhaps just records of their fulfilled contracts, and contracts their pursuing. If they complete a contract before you, it disappears and your funds that you spent towards achieving it are spent, all for nothing! There could also be a leader-board of some kind that shows the top AI companies and where you rank against them in reputation, net worth etc. Their difficulty would also be scale-able when setting a new career save, where you could edit other characteristics that the AI's may have to bare. Set their company flag, choose their starting funds, decrease their starting funds to give yourself an early start , limit their contract returns etc. You might set it so that no other AI companies can be established once the game has begun--and as such your new objective is to be the last company standing! Survival of the fittest! These is all just ideas, most of which I'm just coming up with on the fly. But I think this could really add a more competitive edge to the game, something I believe it could really benefit additionally from. Tell me your thoughts, and again, if I have mistakenly repeated a suggestion you have my apologies! Just so excited about this idea! Governor
