Hmmm.. I cannot think of any multiplayer game that allows time warps. Mutiplayer syncronization do not allow anyone to accelerate time. This will make KSP very slow and boring, to wait hours to get a probe into Mun orbit isn't so fun. Of course the problem can be solved with AI players, but it will not be multiplayer.

The idea is good indeed! Think about it: - career mode starts. Players choose the location where to build their Space Center. Equatorial positions are far more expensive. - at start players' KSC will have very few KSC buildings (maybe barracks style, to launch only some V2 style rockets), they will gain money and tech by performing missions in competition with other players (cooperation is always possible). Player syncronization is an issue here (maybe would be better, but much harder, to design AI players). - everything needs money; from fuel (fuel depot building at KSC?) to recovery of a landed craft (the farther from KSC the more expensive will be). Just some ideas running into my head. Bye!

GREAT! But It would be better with the money based career mode. So you'll have to spend the money earned by doing missions to build and expand the buildings. And these will allow the player to build and research new techs.
