    I haven't fully decided what I'm going to do for 1.3, but I will definitely get something working for 1.2.

    Can I encourage you to consider finding a successor over whose shoulder you can watch for 1.3 maybe? I know you're using GPL, and that you've said that someone can take it over after a month... But this is brilliant work and I'm sure you want it to continue in the right hands.

    Cheers mate. :)

    It could be user configurable, just be careful not to let the complexity skyrocket. Those that like to fiddle with the exact distribution of ribbons probably are awarding them manually anyway.

    Sounds good. Now anyone willing to do it? :D

    Otherwise, it'll have to wait for me to learn how to do it. I'm up to making a computer say "hello world" at the moment... Heh.

    The most important part is to think about an algorithm for awarding the ribbons. The provided "FinalFrontierAdapter" will let you keep track of the number of contracts completed, the science points researched, the number of missions flown, the number of dockings performed and the total mission time. You can use these as parameters, and you can use the Kerbals' stupidity and courage ratings and things like that too.

    My thought would be to assess the number of Kerbals and their current 'ranks' from your rooster and then have a rule to 'pick' which ones are up for promotion. It will probably be really hard to make one rule that suits everybody's taste in playability though.

    I think there needs to be a system.

    Each year there should be a Promotions Day. On that day, a dialog is thrown up that puts the eligible qualified candidates forward for the player to choose people to promote.

    Those candidates are listed in order of the eligibility.

    Eligibility is determined by things like you say, contracts completed, science points researched, missions completed, flight time AND length of service on their current rank. Have to come up with a formula, but because its all down to the player, it doesn't need to be perfect.

    I think that there should probably be limits on the number of people at certain ranks (the General ranks).

    And retirement would also be useful. To remove kerbonauts from the ranking consideration.

    If it can be user-configurable, then that'll make it all work for everyone's tastes.

     

    Anyone willing to help me do this? :D

    @SmarterThanMe What happens when you run the experiment, what are the results it gives you? Sometimes the orbit might make it tricky to get "low space" results, but transferring to a lower orbit (after finishing the long-term part of the contract) should always work, you just have to make sure you are above the right hemisphere. 

    OK, I'll try it that way. I'll report how it goes in x game days. :) Thanks!

  5. Had a lot of trouble completing a Long Term Orbital Recon mission. For some reason, I couldn't get the tick besides the collect recon data from low orbit above Northern Hemisphere. Finally got it, but yeah... Took several launches. Any clue as to how I can hunt down the cause of this finickiness?

    Yep, just took another mission to see if the problem persisted and it did.

    Check the below screenshots. Running the recon experiment at this point doesn't complete the task. I thought maybe it's because this isn't a "low" orbit, so tried transferring down to a low orbit. Didn't affect anything, task still won't complete.

    hello and good evening, maybe someone is using the ksp rank ribbon pack. i have a question how to use it. it is installed via ckan. it is shown in the Final Frontier "Ribbon" section.

    How does my Kermans become these rank Ribbons? other Ribbons will distributed after every mission.

    Thanks for help

    You have to manually award them as a Custom Ribbon.

    I would be REALLY REALLY keen if there's anyone out there who can work up a plugin to award them automagically, though..?

    People- "Hay frizzank, how come your not updating FASA yourself?"

    Me- "I've been busy."

    People- "But FASA is awesome and I want some of those new sweet shaders and stuff, also legs are broken."

    Me- "Well Shiperoids has been taking up a lot of my time. It just got released on Steam early access."

    People- "Can we get a link?"

    Me- "Sure"
