Contracts.. contracts contracts contracts.

[Pixel Kola]

IMO contracts are a terrible cancer in the game. They are not logical, there is no real order and some are just purely ridiculously impractical, even for KSP. testing a 1st stage only heavy lift rocket on a sub-orbital trajectory on the MUN an hour into the game seems pretty stupid and just isn't even fun to think about.

I know there are contract managers and packs, but they just get mixed into the overwhelming amount of garbage that the game already throws at you. Duna, Ike, or Eeloo missions after your fist Mun landing... The game just loses appeal by overwhelming you with too much choice and little purpose.

Here is my plea... Can those of you who know, create a YouTube video on a) How to edit/modify/remove stock contracts. How to edit/modify/link the Tech Tree with the contracts. or c) pm me and give me some direction.

My goal is to create a coherent, logical, and FUN storyline like progression that makes sense but will still be challenging. It will start out small and local (drone probes, scans, rovers, follwed by Kerbaled landings/missions) and eventually encompass the entire Kerbol System.

Though I agree with you, that's maybe the 1001st post about contract balancing since they are in the game. Do a little research on the forums and you will find some solution.

If you're going to be modifying the game, then the modding subforums are the place to talk about it. Moved.

Beetween those illogical procedural-random contracts youre able to decline, the less random but procedural ones exist, and its really fun doing some of them. Also the accomplishment-rep based exploration contracts are really good.

I still have to decline 90% of the contracts though, these really need to be balanced/fixed, or even less kerbalized.

Say no to testing a lifter engine on a suborbital trajectory on Pol! (Even though the procedure is fun)

Most all the contracts are really bad. If we eliminated only the really awful ones, there would still be nearly none left. Most all Fine Print did was add more, bad contracts.

Here's my thread on the subject.

Check out Contract Configurator, and on that page are links to a number of contract packs, some of which do what you're asking (replace stock contract progression with more sensible ones).
