Conceptual Idea - Mission Control Centre

[Ork]

Hello all.

Please excuse my ineptness, I'm not great with forums.

I had an idea the other night and thought I'd run it by you all.

This is, I suppose, for those who like a little realism to their KSP but potentially for any other player in general.

A mission control center that is just that, mission control. Somewhere you can run you missions from in a more detached manner as opposed to the very omnipresent way in which the game is currently structured to play.

I should state at this juncture that I have absolutely no skill in programing what so ever! I am a drawer, artist, thinker. I have about as much programing knowledge as a dead non-programmy thing that can't program.

This is a quick conceptual idea of how the mod may look.

Each screen could/would be interchangeable with the main screen (the one in the middle). The screens themselves would be customizable dependent on what the user wanted.

The Kerbal flag (with the light on) would be replaced with whichever flag was used by the user and the flags up top are for nothing more than place filling and aesthetics.

The idea is that the game is played from this center instead of using the 3rd person 'god cam' to give a more authentic feel to the whole shebang. This would kick in one the user went to the launch pad.

Anyone with any ideas on how this would/could be done?

Could it be done?

Does anyone want it to be done?

Why are women drawn to shoes?

Why do men refuse to hug?

Why am I asking these questions?

Why am I still up at 02:30?

Why is all the rum gone?

All this and more, for no apparent reason....

Thank you for your time guys 'n' girls.

Hi Hab136,

Thank you for your response.

I've given this a go and I have to say it's not bad at all, gave me a good chuckle. Even though it appears some bits do not work well 0.90.

It is not however totally to my liking so I may have to see if I can mess around a bit. What I really want is to lay it out in a very similar fashion to the quick pic I posted, but without the people and with more MFD's.

So a cross between PCR and my piccy.

An example would be that rather than having all those chunky buttons taking up valuable space, the screens could be changed via right click menus or something similar. Leaving more room for screens and less clutter.
