Guest Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Do you think a space race would be possible for career mode? And i'm not talking about Multiplayer, I think it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Outside multiplayer? Nope. That would require a computer controlling a rival space agency or race, and I dont think Star Theory is going to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It could always be modded, of course. If you can't wait, you can get the free version of 1993's "Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space" from https://www.raceintospace.org/ and marvel at those 26 year-old graphics. Actually, it contains some pretty neat, original (if small) film and audio clips for the launches and major milestones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSpace Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Adding single-player space races would require adding realistic-behaving AI space programs, which could add months onto the development timetable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it's gunna be fun put multiple colonies on a planet so its harder to get wiped out and have people carpet bombing whole planets with massive explosions guided by rockets (or planes). Does it get more kerbal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible they've been planning this as a game feature since day 1. We just don't know. Certainly they've built in a few of the components that it would require, such as the physics framework for multiple players and custom-color parts for your whole fleet. Since the systems in the base game are fixed, it's possible that the AI could be largely "on rails" and you need achieve milestones before the AI does in the race. I do seriously doubt it's in there, but it may be more plausible programmatically with the base multiplayer features already in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
