Kerbal Science Real Data

[Hemir95]

Hi everyone!

I've been thinking about the science system that has KSP and I got to the conclussion that it would be better, in hard difficulty for example, that every science experiment won't just get science points. For each science experiment you should collect some preacious data, like g force, rotation period, distance to kerbin or to KSC, pressure, temperature, sun light time, etc. for having the possibility to calculate the parameters from a mission, for example, if you have the TAC life support mod you will need to now how much electricity you must have according to kerbal's needs of oxygen when there is no sun light and you can't generate power. Also for other things like designing your spacecraft and have an idea of how much fuel will you need for making your trip or how will pressure afect.

Probes would get really important for example at duna, so you can gather data about the period, size and atmospheric pressure and stuff.

 

What do you think? It isn't too much effort to impliment that.

Yesssssssssssssssss. Stuff like TWR and atmospheric ISP is a part of Kerbal Engineer though it would be nice to first send a probe to a certain body to know all those parameters.
