Simple enough idea- I would like to suggest adding the ability to take out loans for your space program. You would borrow a sum of money upfront, and then have to pay it back later, with interest- helping to relieve frustrating Career progression bottlenecks for many players without the need for grinding contracts they find annoying... The easiest way to implement something like this would be through the Contracts system. In fact the easiest way would be to *literally* offer up "loan contracts" where you get a large advance for nothing, but an even larger "failure" cost (and no way to "complete" the contract) which is really just the loan repayment after some fixed time (this would beat having a system implementing regular loan payments for sheer simplicity and ease of implementation...) Alternatively, the "completion" condition could be to have enough Funds on-hand to repay the loan on a certain date- possibly leading to a very small Reputation boost for your space program for repaying its loan on-time. By contrast the "Failure" condition could be a large Reputation hit (but no or less Funds penalty) for defaulting on the loan... The ability to convert contract Funds to Science and Reputation through the existing administrative strategies system wouldn't be a bad interaction either. After all, maybe you're investing the loan money in R&D or a public appreciation campaign! Regards, Northstar
