I tend to agree with you, it seems that R&D is just more spherical now. Spoiler But where is Mission Control? Has it been merged into another building, like the Administration one with the helipad? Or is it on top of the VAB? Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Mission control was the home for <career exclusive> contracts, don't think they're a thing now that we'll have Progression as main mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has been said that contracts will no longer be a must like in carreer mode in KSP1 but still be there in some form for the players that want them.

Has it? We know there will be other kinds of goals and rewards but I haven't heard anyone say contracts are coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) If anything, they will appear as form of "world's first" challenges. I don't see any sort of "right click to test part at speed and altitude" or "put some useless junk in desired orbit that will be of no use for the player" or "mine a resource and deliver it to planet X" (because I'll be doing that anyway if I want to expand my colonies) Also, I think some repurposing is needed. It's the administration building where missions are being decided (since strategies in KSP1 were mostly eh) Mission control is where you should see previews and statuses of your missions, colonies, bases, trade routes, interstellar ships, in detail - without switching to every single one of them. Since it's all simulated in the background, why not. Edited January 7, 2023 by The Aziz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are some fringe and fun ideas that encourage design creativity - like making tourists pass out - most of the missions should be done out of necessity. Like in the KSP2 cinematic trailer - most missions should be stepping stones to explore and achieve something greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Datau03 said: https://youtu.be/JlkmvbAy8cQ?t=70 here Right, missions, but not necessarily “contracts.” We do know money is probably out, and the process by which you accept contracts and get advances and penalties for failure might not make sense in that context. We also know they’re trying to avoid failure states in which you’ve run out of resources and can’t launch anymore, so you probably aren’t reliant on completing missions to provide you with resources directly either. I suspect Aziz is probably right that they’re more like passive World First contracts, though I do hope the UI is greatly improved so players know what the goals and rewards are and there’s a more sensible tree through which they’re unlocked and presented. There could be a number of other game-defined goals like this, we just haven’t heard confirmation of that.

They has an larger nuclear thermal engine with an optional oxygen injection afterburner and movable nozzle extension for high or low pressure use.
