Greetings fellow Kerbals, Just yesterday I was flying a Apollo-styled mission to the Mun and I encountered a Problem... Flying with the original three (Jeb, Bill and Bob) I needed to decide on which part I want to have a Pilot. The lander or the orbiter. I choosed the Lander (obviosly). But on my way back to the Orbiter i had to dock with a non-SAS-able craft. It was not a big problem but it still bothered me that I can't stabilize the Orbiter. So an idea came to my mind: Right now any level beyond level 3 does not have an influnce on the Kerbal. So I thought about what if an Engeneer could learn pilot skills from the Point he mastered all of his own engeneer-skills. Or a Pilot could learn to pack Parachutes or increase the sciencepoints. A Skill-Tree (just as the Techtree) would be a nice solution to this problem and would also encourage you to Level-up your Kerbal to the maximum level. I tried to visualize my thoughts with this Table. (I hope it does not confuse you) [TABLE=width: 500, align: center] [TR] [TD]LVL1 [/TD] [TD]LVL2 [/TD] [TD]LVL3 [/TD] [TD]LVL4 [/TD] [TD]LVL5 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Engeneer 2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Engeneer 1 [/TD] [TD]Science 1 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Pilot LVL1 [/TD] [TD]Pilot LVL2 [/TD] [TD]Pilot LVL3 [/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Science 1 [/TD] [TD]Science 2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Engeneer 1 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] For the example I used the Pilot-Skilltree. up to LVL3 there are no changes but when you reach level 4 you can decide to chose Engineer or Scientist LVL1. Based on what you chose on LVL 4, on LVL 5 you could increase this Skill to lvl2 or achieve LVL1 of the other one For English is not my native Language, it is possible that you find grammar Errors. If you do please keep them.
