Extra launch pads

Extra launch pads.

As a fellow KSP player, with over 700 hours playtime, I have always found it annoying how I had to get all the way across to the runway to launch a boat or have to fly to the poles just so I can do a land speed record. It's those minor inconveniences, and yes, I could just get a mod like Hyperedit, but the problem is that I keep having to download updates for it every game update, which I cannot be bothered to do.

It's not I'm the only person to think of this, but it would be helpful to have some more rocket pads, runways, a few ship launches and so fourth actually in the game, or maybe the feature to create a runway at a flagged landing site or something, so that you can take off planes and save planes away without having to fly all the way back to the KSC. It's a bit of a redundant idea, but it would be pretty badass.

Been discussed many times in the past and since it looks like KSP is in its "full potential" AKA out of beta, out of alpha, there won't be many major things that happen to it. The other problem is that the tier 3 KSC was made by an artist that is no longer in the dev team. If now they decided to add more spaceports the result would be similar to what happened to the parts: the style would be all over the place. And I guess we could arguement it with other KSCs being built by other kerbal nations but the quality would probably not be the same.

The Mod Kerbin Side adds a good number of new launch sites, but it only works with 1.1.3 as far as I know. Welcome to the forums @notasgood.

If there was an option to have and establish more launch sites - both on Kerbin and all the other bodies in the system - it would give the game so much more to strive for. Wouldn't it be fun to launch from the Mun or from Laythe, after first having established a full base there? It would be a lot more expensive to build and launch craft from off-world stations, of course, but gameplay-wise, it would be worth it. Going to the Mun, for instance, shouldn't be as much of a hassle at the "end" of the game as it is when you first unlock the required parts.

As ever, there's a mod for that

It works perfectly with 1.2.2, but OP doesn't want to mess with mods if he is lazy to install and update even hyperedit, so...

I am pretty lazy but I will instal the mod. I thought it might have been a cool idea to have portable runways and maintenance stations whilst on Mün or something like that.
