add 'historical sites' to tracking station

[Paul Cobbaut]

I really like using the categories in the tracking station to find rovers, landers, bases, debris and so on. What I miss in this list is a tag for historical sites. I don't want to terminate my first Mun lander, but I also don't want it in 'landers' or 'bases' (because it is no longer active).

 

At the moment I rename all vessels that have served their purpose to 'history-vesselname', but a separate category would be nice.

 

Thanks for this excellent game.

I like that. Just like the Mars Pathfinder landing site was renamed to "Carl Sagan Memorial Station".

Good idea!

So does this mean that the places like your Mun landing flag would be in "Historical Sites" instead of "Flags"? (if this was implemented)

No I would keep flags in Flags I think...

Good idea. I'd like to keep my old KSC2 Glider-on-top-of-a-Missile (that was fun), but I don't need more junk in my tracking station view

My favoured option (as I have said elsewhere before) is for a 'folder' type system for flights in the tracking station.  That way we can organise them in any way we choose.  Folders can be opened, closed or shown as desired.  

I wouldn't want to lose the current icon system though,  that could still be used as now and applied to folder contents, a few more icon types would also be handy.

Agreed Panda...a hierarchical system would be great and then they wouldn't have to invent new icons/categories
