Kerbal Resurrection Stone Mod

[Sovnheim]

Hi all,

I started Career mode at the hardest difficulty I could - no reverting flights, no quickloads, no respawning of dead Kerbals. And needless to say, this has made my experience of the game quite interesting. It allows for intense, Interstellar-esque moments, where I have to do my best to save people when missions go catastrophically wrong.

And sadly, I lost Jeb a few in-game months ago (he was the second casualty), and I miss the guy. That got me wondering, what if there were missions where it is possible to resurrect dead Kerbals ?

(Pause for dramatic effect)

If a Kerbal is killed in action, a mission appears in Mission Control, where you have to locate a specific location in the game, head there with a Kerbal to pray the Space Kraken for mercy and bring your fellow Kerbal back from the dead.

And maybe, to make it a bit more gruesome, throw in a lesser-experienced Kerbal as a sacrifice.

(This is why my mother thinks I have issues)

The mod spawns the said landmark at random locations, preferably difficult to reach, and even more to return from - losing a pilot would remain a tragic experience while offering the opportunity of interesting missions.

I have no knowledge of modding (although I have some knowledge of programming and have a vague idea of how Unity works) and I am curious of studying the feasibility of this mod.

And, most importantly - would you be interested in downloading/using it ?

This would be very interesting, not just for Career Mode. The game sometimes try to kill my highlander Chuch Norr... Hem, Kerman. It should know that Chuck can be killed... I can help for testing this, no experience in programming at all...

I like this idea - very original . I probably wouldn't use it for a while - still haven't exhausted building things in sandbox mode but would definitely download for use later.

Why not go to the actual Kraken location (it's on bop). Or Val-henge? Like, make it a single location, but one suited to the purpose. There's also the Kerbal Pyramids if you want to keep it on Kerbin.

I have actually never set foot near any of these places - so I never really thought about it - but that would be a very good idea.

Haha this idea is really great! "Throw in lesser-experienced Kerbals as a sacrifice" - I had to think at Danny's 50k Sub special there, where he smashed 50 Kerbals into Mun's surface, in slow motion! If I'd really use it - I don't know, I'm not playing Career that much currently, but it would be an amusing addition to the Career Mode.

So Yes, please do this .

I think I want to add an active volcano to the game for Kerbal sacrifices.

*demonic laugh*

Actually now you mention it it could have more uses than just resurrection. Praying the Kraken could get you some more Science or funds. (It will, inevitably, damage your reputation, though). I've always thought that the career mode missed some role-playing.

Man, does this mod keep sounding better and better! If this ever gets a full blown release I'm sure Danny would do a video on it.

That might imply a change of name, though.

Like Kraken Sakrifice Mod or something
