Career Mode - why not sats first ?

[konbert]

I like the 1.0 update very much, but I still don't like the career mode.

Why isn't it satellites first?

I have a contract to bring four tourists to the mun, and all I have is a command pod (might stack them, but five of them?).

And I still haven't had a sat in orbit.

Nothing against a steep learning curve but I really wish it would be more logical and step by step.

If you'd like to be able to work with unmanned machnies first please visit us in this thread and voice your dissatisfaction with the current tech-tree. Individually we are like twigs; feeble and easily dismissed, but together we create a mighty bundle of sticks tied together.

Hello,

I sort of agree that this makes more sense; trouble is that satellites are after precision engineering.

I moved some sats up to precengr etc in the parts; this also may allow contracts to appear sooner.

Squad clearly wants to put the focus on Kerbals first: they give the game its character, and make it a game (as in: an entertainment.)

Seeing their goofy expressions gives the broader audience additional reasons to play, much more than a dry simulation would.

KSP would not have gained nearly the following it has, without these interactive mascots.

It's very unlikely that Squad would change the career game to "unmanned first."
