Hey kerbonaut!

 

Kerbal Kommander is a new way to play KSP based on a savefile, two parts, and a plugin. Instead of managing a space center, you play as Jebediah Kerman. You are a ship pilot who wants to create his own space company. This adventure takes place a long time after the normal game. All of the Kerbol system has been colonized so there are space stations around every planet. You will have to fly between the stations to earn kredits. You can use the kredits buy bigger ships or hire some crews.

 

There are a few jobs you can do to earn money:

Trader:

This is the easiest way to prosper, you should start by this because you don't need a huge ship and if you carefully check the prices list, you can earn quite a lot of money.

The principle is simple: you buy some resources in a space station and then you resell them at higher prices in another one.

To buy or sell resources, you need to transfer them into a station screen. The resources you buy will appear in the screen.

BUY LOW AND SELL HIGH

 

Miner:

When you have enough money to afford a mining drill, you can become a miner. This activity has a big advantage: you can create your fuel so you won't need to buy it.

CREATE A BIG MINING SOCIETY

 

Asteroids hunter:

If you are a badass and pieces of wood are not enough for you, this activity is made for you! You will need to use the tracking station to find asteroids, then grab them and sell them at the nearest space station. The Bigger the asteroid is, the more money you will earn.

BECOME THE MOST BADASS ASTEROID HUNTER

 

Scientist:

Explore the Kerbol system to do research and transmit it to earn money. Create huge vessels with lots of laboratories and scientific stuff; Hire the best scientific crew to run the biggest scientific ship of all the Kerbol system.

CREATE AN EFFICIENT LABORATORY

 

Slave trafficker:

This is a very efficient way to earn money if you don't have ethics… You buy slaves in a pirate station and then you resell them at higher prices in another one. But don't approach a no-pirate station or the police will find your traffic!

BECOME A HEARTLESS PIRATE

 

Good luck, a big adventure is waiting for you!

This is intriguing, but can you give us a little more idea of how it works? Screenshots always helpful. How does it work? Does it require a specific save file with pre-loaded space stations, etc?

I added the part of the "read me" with How to play and how to install, maybe it's clearer ? :wink:

EDIT: yes, there is a savefile with space station

The only thing left is to implement space warfare. With realistic orbital mechanics (unlike other space games), it would feel quite unusual: "Arrggh! I missed that freighter this time, but I gonna get him on the next orbit. And on the next one after it I'll collect his freight... If noone docks to it before me..."

I want to implement it too but right now, I focus on other features. maybe you can try with a multiplayer mod and BDArmory... :wink:

Does this change ANYTHING in the other gameplays? Can i still continue other saves having this in my GameData folder?

In theorie you can play normaly but it's not guaranteed...

Stupid question: in order to trade, do I need to dock with the station or just enter Jebediah by EVA?

You just need to dock if you want to tranfer resources (so this is almost every time)

I don't insist. Have spoken just theoretically about that as I don't like any warfare in KSP and don't use it. But it would very interesting to see if someone implements it.

seriously, it's a very good idea, the problem is the AI in space but it should be really fun !

some mods can be very interesting ( I imagine with extraplanetary lauch pad for example, we could sell ships !)

You can buy resources from mod if you have a container docked with the station so you can have life support mods for example.

About the part pack, I think that if the price are set correctly, it should not unballance the game.

Donno,

i just launched it in my heavy-modded install and had no mk1 pod to start with. Several overpowered parts were available - but not all.. thought u implemented some kind of "progression" for not everything beeing available?

You're actually limited by your credits, so with 20K kredits I don't think you'll be able to create a supership.

Oh my...And you are new here too... You have a bright future my friend. Very Bright! :D BTW does it skip the KSC and go straight to an orbiting ship? If so i'd like permission to use part of your mod as a dependency on one of my own. Just read the rest of your post... Answered my question :wink:

damn, i totally forgot that MONEY is a dependency for SEEING things in the editor -.-

 

so, seriously, i am missing some parts in editor when loading the game...
since its not a sandbox, might there be missing some technodes that came with mods (CTT / SETI-CTT)?
