ok uh... -base value is not actually added to the cash, it's just multiplied with the action to get the actual achievement value -15,000 is legit, orbiting kerbin sounds cool n all, very useful -science fee for orbiting kerbin science is non-legit, if you see the chart is says N/A -not sure what's the 468 km orbit cash from, that's not the sync orbit, is it? Even so it'll only be 25,000 -atmo maneuvering on kerbin is also non-legit, see chart. Atmo maneuvering is defined as dipping down into the atmosphere without landing from space, landing applies landing instead of atmo maneuvering -mission multipliers are non additive, so unmanned halves your income -first time is 1.2, so unmanned and first time gives you 0.6 times the income (as your income, not in addition) -recovery is legit, 14,100 k for sake of organization (I round to nearest hundred) your total comes down to: -28,200 (vehicle)*0.5 (recovered) ------------------------- |-14,100 15,000 (kerbin orbit)*0.5 (unmanned)*1.2 (first instance) --- |9,000 Total ----------------------------------------------------- |-5,100 Sorry for the confusion
