Hey everyone, I wanted to start modding ksp for a long time , I have little knowledge about it but great enthusiasm about creating something I want in KSP since ever.
I love Science mode but once you've unlocked all the tree the game start to lack this extra something that make you enthusiast about going further, building more. I now play in 30% science / 150 starting science to slow down unlocks.
I don't like the career mode as it is today, mainly because difficulty is not where I would like it to be.
So I'm here to talk about features for an rpg mod I would like to develop, any advice or thought is very welcome.
Station RPG
Here are some features ideas :
You start in a tiny space station orbiting Kerbin, you have only one Kerbal and can't launch neither build anything, you may only have the space center to see your station and access your kerbal
It it possible to restrict access to player from switching kerbal ?
Can I block any VAB from beeing used ?
Last warp speed would be locked
Parts can be delivered to your station
Here I am thinking about mods like routine mission and KIS/KAS to assemble parts
You can launch unmaned vessel and perform task that normaly only a player controlled kerbal could do
Is it possible for exemple to have a mod controling a vessel while the player is in "action" phase
Maybe I could force the player to reload when an event is happening, like a mod controled vessel docking the space station ?
Many ways to get money from your space station, here it's very simple I can think about many thing
If you have gas or goods you can trade (market sim throught mod window)
Certain parts give you tourism value, maybe a casino ?
Competition with AI
Competitor space station upgrading throught time
Player can see competitor stats, possible interactions must yet to be listed
Turn based combat
Player has a console where he can see action log and events
Parts you have on your space station give you stats and abilities
Parts can get damaged and destroyed
Would feel very D&D
