New Career Idea: Albatross 1, 2, and Ravenspear Mk2

[Matuchkin]

I was recently on a thread called Where's Albatross 1 and 2? I was one of the first to answer, and this is how the following conversation went:

 

ME: “A few species of Albatross 1 and 2 were found recently, hiding in the mountainous region of Kerbin's desert. They got frightened quickly, and ran away. A few times, an Albatross 2 mating call was heard (engines revving), and the calls were usually responded to by a Ravenspear Mk2 aero-spike engine. No calls from Albatross 1's were ever recorded, and it is extremely hard to locate any of the aforementioned species on Kerbin, as they may be near extinction.”

OTHER GUY: “The last Albatross 1 was piloted to extinction by Jeb”

ME: “Yes, Jebediah Kerman did manage to find, capture and kill an Albatross 1, speculated as the last in existence. It was realized that Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Incorporated was a business kept aloft by poaching- mostly in the areas of the Ravenspear Mk2 (due to it's high-end aerospike). Jebediah Kerman was later captured, fired from the Kerbal Space Center, and incarcerated until execution. The Kerbal Space Center later failed because of that loss, and closed down permanently”.

Makes me wonder, what if we get someone to make a career mode in which the player uses science and skill to find the traces of the near extinct Albatross 1, 2 and Ravenspear Mk2 species? Perhaps, in the end of the career, the player will have to incarcerate one of the species, bringing it to a "zoo" (or somethin'). Just for the sake of humour.

I think the Kerbals incorrectly designated the Albatross to putting a 3 on the end. As for the Ravenspear MK2, which was going to be made an SSTO, Dinkelstein Kerman only made 2 of them: one crashed into the Spaceplane hangar during testing and the other was buried inside the KSC2 SpacePlane hanger along with the blueprints because of the disaster; which is the reason why you never see the Hangar anywhere near the KSC2 Buildings at all.

Well, that's my version of the story.

Well, how about the idea? What do you think?

Haha! The zoo for planes made me laugh! Anyway, I think the career contract to find and research about the lost planes is a good idea, It brings a lot of depth into the history of Kerbal.

I think mods such as Dmagic and Scansat should be required. They have the actual science tools that can actually track anything (if data for that is created in the contract pack).
