Repair contracts

[Szkeptik]

These would crop up for vessels that you put in orbit on previous contracts. If you take the contract some random parts of the vessel in question will be damaged and you have to take an engineer there to repair them. This will give you an incentive to revisit old satellites that you just put up and forget otherwise.

Good idea +1

Very good idea, I'll chat with nightngale about doing this with the ContractConfigurator

Anything to make Tourist contract less numerous.

Yup, definitely possible with Contract Configurator. In fact the Tourism Plus contract pack has some of the logic in contracts for bringing tourists to visit stations (this one). The basic idea is to use an expression to find a vessel that meets your criteria for the contract, like so:

    DATA
    {
        type = Vessel
        targetVessel = AllVessels().Where(v => v.VesselType() == Station && v.CelestialBody() == @targetBody && v.IsOrbiting() && v.EmptyCrewSpace() > @/SpawnPassengers/count).Random()
    }

You can then reference it like this:

    PARAMETER
    {
        name = VesselParameterGroup
        type = VesselParameterGroup
        vessel = @/targetVessel
        duration = 4h
        PARAMETER
        {
            name = HasPassengers
            type = HasPassengers
        }
    }

Yes, please. Also would like to see the implementation of the toolbox there were pictures posted a while back. Also screwing/unscrewing/replacing of small pieces on EVA.
