While enjoying ksp today I thought of an idea for multiplayer in ksp 2…
What if career contracts could be hosted in a multiplayer fashion, where a user could rent another users rocket ( assuming that the rocket is cheap for them to build because they have the “tooling”). A launch provider (user 1) could build X amount of those launch vehicles and sell them on an online marketplace to other users using in game currency and science. As the reputation of user 1 grows, they can then unlock the ability to be written into player in game contracts. Thus a player (user 2) would have to build a sat but launch it on user 1’s rocket, splitting the contract by percentage. Basically commercial space but in multiplayer. Players could even submit private contracts for science earnings and money. This could be a great way to share ideas with rocket designs as well as mission design.
example of mission design share:
User 1 creates contract for a geo sat network with
3 satellites given specific part parameters. User 2 takes that contract and learns how to set up a good geo network using user 1’s network design. User 1 has to pay for that but earns science and “community” credit kinda like karma for Reddit.
