Kerbal Authetic Space Museum Program

[Kinglet]

I just had a idea about career mode: Recovering old probes and booster stages when you are high in the tech tree, and then safely deorbiting them to make a small museum out of them.

I do not have a computer to currently try this, but I would love to see pictures of people who left with claws and came back with museum worthy craft.

I don't have any experience with retrieving debris (other than a few of the new "rescue somebody and the command pod too" missions), but in the past whenever I retire a huge interplanetary ship I leave it in high Kerbin orbit as an "orbital museum."

Land everything on the small island and it will become a ship's graveyard.

I decommision the crafts most of the time by just crashing them, or now in 1.0 letting them burn up XD

I'm quite sure I seen an idea of museum very close to yours already posted. Use search function, perhaps you'll find it.

On a side note - General Discussion is not a forum for suggestions

Actually I think this is the most fitting one, as the one with "suggestions" in the name is for development suggestions.

This would be amazing as a building in the space center, where you could go back and look at your old, recovered crafts.... or what was left of them.

I did it before we had stock claws, but there's this:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51724-Back-to-0-19-and-recovering-my-very-first-Mun-Lander

My museum would be nearly empty. I design my craft to either stage in an unstable orbit or destroy themselves. Aside from those blasted rescue contracts that squad added annoying command modules to, there might be a separator here and there, but that is about it.

I imagine this would cause some pretty hefty lag after a while...

Yes. Back in the day, I used to leave the debris from various failed launches, experiments, ground tests, etc, lying around the space center. It gave it a lovely industrious, activity filled feel. However, soon lag arrived. Once I cottoned on to what was happening, I made a special rover to go and clean up.

Though, if there was some sort of museum building you could save them to, the physics need not be loaded, cutting out most of that lag.
