I made a nice lander that I plan to take to Eve sometime in the future. But mostly I've been working on my mission generator again now that a financial issue that caused me to lose $35k is over and done with.

This is great so far guys. Thanks!

That is a fantastic tool, thank you Johnno.

It doesn't expect an exact number but I would really love to have a ballpark number for each of the planets if possible. Thanks!

The reason I'm asking is because I need more data than just my own for this generator I'm making. So any input will be greatly helpful! I'll even give you a thank in a thank you section for your help.

In essence arrays are vars that can hold multipal vars within them. To make sure you don't get an impossible mission you'll still have to use 'if' statements.

var bodies = ["Kerbol", "Moho", "Eve", "Eve's satellite Gilly", "Kerbin", "Kerbin's satellite Mun", "Kerbin's satellite Minmus", "Duna", "Duna's satellite Ike", "Dres", "Jool", "Jool's satellite Laythe", "Jool's satellite Vall", "Jool's satellite Tylo", "Jool's satellite Bop", "Jool's satellite Pol", "Eeloo"] var orbittype = ["Equatorial", "Polar"] var landingarea = ["North Pole", "Equator", "South Pole"] For a Duna equatorial orbit all i have to do is call document.write(bodies[7] + " orbit type: " + orbittype[0]); Muuuuch easier.

Oi, just because we don't have anything up in a day or two doesn't mean we aren't working on it. Some of us have jobs. Give it a few days and I'll have something up to experiment with. Edit: Also I suggest using 'arrays' with 'case' statements, it'll cut down on those 'if' statements.

Thanks for the call out.

That's one of the reasons why I picked to make a webpage instead of figuring out how to mod the game. I know some people don't like to download mods or plugins to change their game. I know because I'm one of those people.

Right now I've just been working on it in Javascript since I planned to make it into a webpage.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to track flight progress unless I actually turn this into a mod or create an external program to run in conjunction with KSP to read the flight data.

That could be a suicidal mission at least. "Land on Jool, explore the local shopping markets, taste the local food."

It would also be a snap to generate missions for it.

Unfortunately I haven't looked into modding at all. Maybe sometime in the future I'll become curious and figure it out.

Thanks for the welcome, J0hn! I think I'll spend a few days and see what I can put together for you guys. Then everyone could tell me what you like or don't like about it.

I've been mulling over an idea in my head for a while now about making a website that can generate missions for you to conduct if you're bored or don't know what to do next. It would have a complexity option that increases the difficulty the higher set it is. For example if it's very low it would probably just generate something like "Build a single stage rocket and get it into orbit around Kerbin." If it's set a bit harder then maybe "Build a two stage rocket and into a 100k orbit around Kerbin." Mid way could be "Build a rocket/lander, get into Kerbin orbit, get into orbit around Mun, and then land it on Mun" or "Launch two rockets with docking ports, get them both into orbit around Kerbin then dock both ships together." Along with the complexity option there would be other options to let you get more specific mission types such as Lander missions, Orbiting missions, Weight or Cost limits, Collecting data, etc. Maybe even a suicidal option like "Leave the Kerbol System" or "Visit Kerbol's core to take it's temperature." You get the concept. Would anyone find it fun or useful? I know they are working on a career mode but I'm not sure what all that includes though.
