Mission Idea: Emulating Real Life in Kerbal Space Program [WIP] [Submit a Payload] [Become a Launch or Payload Provider]

[icantmakemodels]

@TheEpicSquared, what happened to the He1+Xsat1 launch?

[icantmakemodels]

I think this is everyone involved:

@TheEpicSquared @Oliverm001x

@Skylon @Brent Kerman @Fraus @kerbinorbiter @Numerlor @Seabo14 @CairoJack @Mad Rocket Scientist @Abastro @Uace24 @KenjiKrafts @53miner53 @quasarrgames

@StupidAndy @FireKerb @HobbitJack @Andiron

 

TL;DR: Should we start again?

Hi everyone,

     So, it seems that this thread is a little bit dead. Or, at least, @TheEpicSquared is MIA.  So, here's my evil plan. I'm going to take over and start a new thread. I've created a Strawpoll: Do you want to (A) Do this and start again, (B) Do this and start over, or (C) Not do this?  We'll use the exact same rules, perhaps with a few changes that should have been there in the first place (Hindsight is an amazing thing).  If anyone wants to make a badge, that would be cool too. I'll clean up the OP a little; I'll make it a nicer and easier to read. Perhaps we should make ourselves a dedicated wobsite so (a) we can avoid 2.2j and (b) have shiny graphs and stuff. Thanks for reading this whole paragraph. Vote below.

EDIT: If you think no, why?

Vote HERE.

Wow, that was fast.

[StupidAndy]

lets wait a bit, or lets wait until @TheEpicSquared comes back, he might be doing something without internet, so not able to do anything much with the forums, or might be away from his computer without the ability to do anything advanceable

lets wait

[Skylon]

My vote is no, wait. If you are willing to do it yourself and do it well, I would be interested to see that. If you like, PM me with ideas about the website. I can't make websites myself very well (never tried) but I have a few ideas.

[icantmakemodels]

@Skylon I'm thinking about buying myself blacksilver.io, I would put the website there at /rlksp. I know HTML, CSS, and JS so I can write it.

[quasarrgames]

If we're going to restart: there's one change that should be made: I think some people (myself included) were getting bored of this because launches were so infrequent. Given that someone could build a rocket in a day or two, waiting a few months for a launch also seemed a bit unrealistic in proportion to other timescales in the game.

Just saying, it would be good for a new RLKSP to draw off of other community projects like the Stock Community Space Station and Naval Battle Club, in that people could reserve dates in which they could launch, and the save could be pased to them on those dates, and we could use an honor system to report failures and such. Would make launches much quicker.

[icantmakemodels]

@quasarrgames, Yeah. If I'm hosting, I'll do launches way more frequently. I've been waiting weeks for the Xsat1 launch since:

 

 

[StupidAndy]

I still think we should wait, but a non-KSP forum place to store this would be nice, so we could have companies back

@icantmakemodels

Right, decision time.

For various reasons, me and @Oliverm001x have not been able to keep this thread going, and likely will not be able to in the near future. Therefore, I grant you permission to continue this challenge, under 2 conditions:

 1. The credits in this thread's OP be mentioned in your version.

2. Myself and @Oliverm001x be credited with creating this idea. 

And another thing, which I'll PM you about when you respond to this.

Good luck

After discussion with @TheEpicSquared, we have decided that you can have access to doing, recording and sending the launches and videos to us. Meanwhile we will maintain the forum and the threads.

@icantmakemodels Me and @Oliverm001x will PM you when you reply here, for more discussion.

[icantmakemodels]

PM away.

I had no intention of not crediting you with the original idea

 

ALSO: I came up with some possible other names that sound better:

• Kerbal economics program
• Kerbal capitalism program 
• Kerbal politics program

I feel that if it is re-started it should be done in RSS/RO rather than stock because it would simulate real world space stuff rather than 60%  scale and it would be harder for people but who doesn't relish a challenge?

I think QuarterRSS. Bigger than stock but still doable for new players.

maybe you could make a version of it in RSS/RO?

I have to try RO sometime

mod idea: Stock Size RO!

But this would make it harder for a lot of players such as myself, since I am not used to RSS/RO, and have never played with it.

[rockets-don't-make-toast]

quick, I just made the 667th post. nailed it.

wait, the op was very confusing and I don't want to read through that novel again. so lets say I want to be a launch provider, what do I do to get my (under 20m) launcher put up for launches? and how does the money system work?

for now, we might be under a remanagement and it might change a bit, but basically

1. you make a rocket, you say "hey! I made a rocket! I will launch it for (blank) funds! then the people will come if your rocket is what they need, if they are a microsatellite, they get something like @Numerlor's rocket, not a big one like the F9, kind of like the Electron.
2. for money, it is only for the LPs for now, but the LPs get paid for launching the satellites, and at the end they get the amount they agreed on for their launch

[53miner53]

On the debate for RSS/RO: I feel that having multiple versions of it would work best. We could have a stock one that would be this one under new management, one in full RO, and a few more in various steps between, with lower than 1/2 scale RSS being Kerbol system rescales, and greater than being RSS rescales, mostly because I want to launch on some of the harder difficulties, but can't get to orbit in RSS.

[rockets-don't-make-toast]

okay, I finally finished my rocket and sent it to the rocket submission thread and the details. 

quick note, I think you should make a anti-trust law that says if one person or one rocket in getting to much of the launches then it will be banned from launching for a set amount of time, or something, it just feels like the pros rockets are nommin up all the launches with the ridiculously cheap prices.

has anyone actually got past the first gen rocket?

Yes, but @TheEpicSquared seems to have sidelined this. Read the above posts and you will see that we are planning to remake it

I think its still being worked on

oh and I love your location

[icantmakemodels]

@Uace24, go crazy starting a RSS version once we get a seperate forum set up for this.

Delegation!

@rockets-don't-make-toast, @TheEpicSquared is MIA again (hasn't responded to PMs for a week). No idea what the progress on the new forum is.
