The Grand Kerbal Name Directory


Tex

Recommended Posts

With recent discussion about the random name generation for Kerbals in Kerbal Space Program, sal_vager sparked an idea, which I am hereby bringing to life.

I had the idea that if two Kerbals had the same name, then their stats would be identical, seeing as Kerbal stats and professions are generated based on the random coupling of syllables that resulted in their name. So, in the interest of the ever-scientific concept of classification (imagine fanfares playing here), I thought it might be a bit fun to try and compile a list of Kerbal names so you know what you're getting into before hiring a specific Kerbonaut, should he/she apply to join your space program!

All names that I list here will be in alphabetical order, both following the first letter of their names and also within their specific letter spoilers.

In addition, I may be able to perhaps reverse-engineer some of the random name generation, and find out exactly what kind of prefixes and suffixes are being strung together to form names. It's all in the name of Science, people!

And so I call upon the various space programs: Give me the names of your brave Kerbonauts, that I might mark down their attributes!

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

1. Submit name of a Kerbal.

2. List their gender.

3. List their profession.

4. List their Courage and Stupidity Stats (from 0 to 1, found in the persistence file of your save)

5. List their state of BadS.

I only wish it were possible to list Dandy Kerman (he's a dandy Kerman... in space), but alas. Though I do have one brave pioneer of note on my team:

Zellian Kerman

Female

Scientist

Courage: 7

Stupidity: 3

BadS: False

She is single-handedly responsible for gathering all of the scientific data known to Kerbalkind about Minmus AND the Mun. Though Valentina accompanied her to Minmus, Zellian did the entire Mun science run solo.

Nanica Kerman

Female

Scientist

Courage: 6

Stupidity: 7

BadS: Very_False

Rescued by KASE star pilot Valentina from an inclined retrograde orbit out at about Munar orbital distance. Continued panicking even after aboard Rescue 1. Previously employed by USI ltd.

(note: I'm not 100% sure how to check the exact number on Courage / Stupidity or BadS. Courage is a little more than half and stupidity is about 3/4 full in the astronaut complex. While Valentina was happy as a clam throughout the mission, Nanica was still hyperventilating for quite some time after being rescued).

To do this, you go into your KSP folder. You go to where it says "Saves" and find the folder of the save you want to find the Kerbal in. Then you go to the persistence file and almost all the way to the bottom. Your Kerbals are there.

I like to imagine my Kerbals having romantic entanglements, it adds more drama.

Huh, I never thought to check the persistence file for the BadS status of my kerbals.

Anyways, heres my guys from the science mode save:

Currently stationed at my shipyards, haven't given them anything to do yet:

Bill Kerman

You know him

name = Giltrix Kerman

name = Claugie Kerman

gender = Female

type = Engineer

brave = 0.9185215

dumb = 0.005305714

badS = False

name = Wilbald Kerman

gender = Male

type = Engineer

brave = 0.6554445

dumb = 0.02008031

badS = False

name = Natala Kerman

gender = Female

dumb = 0.01823358

badS = False

name = Sigelle Kerman

gender = Female

type = Engineer

brave = 0.6233363

dumb = 0.1302006

badS = False

Currently on an expedition at Duna and Ike:

Valentina and Jeb

You know these guys

name = Gisa Kerman

gender = Female

type = Scientist

brave = 0.5903999

dumb = 0.09449232

badS = False

name = Gervis Kerman

gender = Male

type = Engineer

brave = 0.7026228

dumb = 0.3051232

badS = False

name = Newfal Kerman

gender = Male

type = Scientist

brave = 0.3907622

dumb = 0.1333713

badS = False

name = Rata Kerman

gender = Female

type = Engineer

brave = 0.9333653

dumb = 0.1549307

badS = False

Currently at home lounging around:

Bill Kerman (poor bill, lol)

name = Tomcal Kerman

gender = Male

type = Scientist

brave = 0.6025435

dumb = 0.004227912

badS = False

name = Irlenna Kerman

gender = Female

type = Scientist

brave = 0.7795959

dumb = 0.08032553

badS = False

I notice that I don't have any BadS's besides Val and Jeb.

Looking at the others:

name = Jebman Kerman

gender = Male

type = Applicant (I didn't see him, and then I realized that the roster had probably refreshed and I was looking at the save before I started up the game)

brave = 0.9413859

dumb = 0.8136612

badS = False

Spotted these two in the new roster:

KERBAL

{

name = Sonsen Kerman

gender = Male

type = Pilot (applicant)

brave = 0.6486377

dumb = 0.6601937

badS = True

name = Vallenna Kerman

gender = Female

type = Scientist (applicant)

brave = 0.5508124

dumb = 0.375677

badS = False

Vallenna is like Valentinas slightly smarter but not badass sister, at least that's what I'm imagining.
