Milestone Award for the Island Airbase??????

[Just Jim]

First off, has anyone else playing a new career game been watching their milestone awards? You can see them with the little contract button in the top right corner. There are all sorts of new ones, and one I got today was quite a surprise.

Today I finished the early career grind and finally got to making some jets with the new engines. And came up with a couple decent ones; one of which I flew over to the old island airbase.

And much to my surprise, I got a milestone award for "finding an old airbase on an island", or something to that effect.

Makes me seriously wonder if there are milestone awards for finding other cool stuff.

Somehow I missed that button. Thanks!

I'm going to take my plane there this evening!

They said that there'll be more scattered around the system...

There are - the release notes specifically state so. To quote:

"* Many milestones added that involve the player doing hidden fun stuff."

I have a hunch that just means finding the anomalies that most of us already know all about anyway :\

Low expectations lead to pleasant surprises though! xD

There are milestones that do not involve general progression or any anomalies. "Hidden fun stuff" is a pretty apt description.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this; I'm aware of the anomalies, but I can't say I've ever found any. This might be an incentive to go looking for them!

So... finding easter eggs unlocks milestones now?

Maybe I should go look for the pyramids, and visit some mun arches again

[Streetwind]

I bet the only reason they updated the world cup mod to 1.0.5 is because there's now a milestone/achievement for shooting a goal through the Mun arch.

Ahhhh, I went back and read the change log.

Hidden Fun stuff.....

So this may involve more than just finding Easter Eggs???

I like the sound of that.

I found an anomaly, or more of a glitch. On the KSC peninsula, I found a spot where all my instruments said it was tundra, even though it was on the equator and about 5 km from KSC.

Apparently they added a whole lot of them.

I got milestones for putting a ship into orbit around mun and minus even though I already have stations at each location on an old career.

Unfortunately, that one is a known bug.

[EladDv]

you think this is fun? try crashing into the KSC (SPH) tower.

Darn. And here I thought I was doing groundbreaking research. IDK if I could find it again. I had to delete the save file it was in because 1.0.5 ruined the save.

There's a part of the island near the airfield that's also marked as tundra.

"Hidden fun stuff"? Does that mean we should be developing a really strong militia before we start mining for adamantine?

[technion]

It was annoying that landing here was one of the hardest things in the game for me, so I'm pretty excited they've brought a reward into it.

However big a militia you build, eventually something will reach the fuel storage tanks, and then all of your Kerbals will die in the remains of the !!KSC!!.

[ZodiaK]

You don't actually have to land on it, you just haven to fly low over it.

[Pecan]

Confirmed for the pyramids (I was testing a 'plane) so presumably all anomalies as well as the other stuff.
