[0.90] Contract Pack: Destroy All ROUND-8s! (1.3 - 17/04/15)

[severedsolo]

The CEO of Probodobodyne Inc is furious! He's blaming poor sales of his pet project, the Oscar-B fuel tank, on consumer preference of the ROUND-8 fuel tank. As a result, he's converting all new ROUND-8 tanks to store Xenon to boost Oscar-B sales.

Now he's heard about a plan to save the ROUND-8 and he is not happy! He's willing to pay anyone who will destroy Probodobyne's stock of ROUND-8's

Description

This Contract Pack is a spoof of nightingales Save the Round-8. Personally I never use the thing, so lets destroy as many as we can!

This may be a spoof, but it is a real life working Contract Pack! It's very simple, just load up the required amount of Round8s, and destroy them any way you feel like it. (I'd love to see some screenshots though)

Also, if you have Save the Round8 installed, you'll get a mission to destroy a hidden cache of Round8s on Kerbins Ice Caps

New Mission: Eject the Round8s from the Kerbol system

Thanks:

Cheers to nightingale for being a good sport and allowing me to spoof your pack. to be honest, this is mostly his work, I just tweaked a couple of parameters.

Team ROUND-8 will not take this sitting down. We are now offering brand new contracts to dump useless Oscar-B tanks in one of Kerbin's less savoury biomes!

Alright, I'll play your game. New mission added to destroy a hidden cache of Round8s (if you have SavetheRound8 installed)

Edit: 1.1.1 - I forgot to pay you for completing the new mission.

It will be interesting to see where this goes...

[kmMango]

I am going to take all your silly Oscar-B's and throw them off a mountain. One. By. One.

[RainDreamer]

Oh boy, space race time. Someone make a challenge thread and keep the tally and see how many Round 8 is saved/destroyed vs Oscar-B saved/destroyed.

[kmMango]

Oooh! Better idea, drop an E-class on them:cool:

[nightingale]

We build where you can only destroy. New contract: Build a glorious monument to the ROUND-8!

Your move, severedsolo.

[Wjolcz]

This is hilarious xD

+rep for you both

The Oscar-B is Life, not Death.

New mission added, eject all the Round8's from the Kerbol system! https://github.com/severedsolo/ContractPack-DestroyRound8/releases/tag/1.2

[nightingale]

Imagine... betrayed by your own station. Upgrade the Kerbin Space Station with ROUND-8 tanks!

[Sampa]

I've never used the round8s, but now, with their purpose being changed, I think I will use them a bit to see what they are about!

[severedsolo]

You monster!

1.3 released. The takeover has begun (requires Module Manager).

Also, all missions will now generate towers of OscarBs around the Launchpad.

I think this is my favorite thread on the forums

Congrats on Release

i had to laugh so hard when i read that thread...

I always used Round8 for making my FL-series tanks look prettier - but who needs pretty ship - let's dump them...

[nightingale]

I had a few more ideas mulling about, but I can't seem to find the ROUND-8 in my parts list. Oh well, given the current climate after Squadcast, perhaps its time for a Xenon based contract pack...

[severedsolo]

Today it was announced that the board of Probodobodyne Inc met and removed the CEO. The interim CEO has announced that the ROUND-8 fuel tank will remain in its rightful place as Probodobodyne's flagship product. No statement has yet been made about the Oscar-B.

We may have won the battle, but we have lost the war. You're all fired!

Squad have announced the Round-8 is staying, which was the point of nightingales contract. (I didn't care either way, but I hope that our little game has helped somewhat.) With that, this pack is done.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall it, as it's not very well tested, and with the latest update, spawns vessels all over KSC (I may have got carried away). I won't be offering any future support, as this was just a joke that got a bit out of hand.

Thank you to nightingale for helping make this as fun as it was, and to everyone else for playing along. Long live the Round-8!

The Oscar B returned to its place as the donut hole to the Round-8, and there was much rejoicing
