nsgallup Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Has anything been said about this, or do you think it will be implemented in some form? In KSP1 it made sense to have immortal kerbals, but if KSP journeys are going to take very long periods of time it might make more sense to have a kerbal life expectancy. Maybe there could be a hall of fame for kerbals who achieved milestones/great amounts of flighttime/number of missions, ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Personally i like them not aging. But thats just my $0.02 lol. IF they add it, toggle option please. 040110152020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Imho, would be an option in a general Kerbal health mod. Edited October 15, 2020 by kerbiloid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get any of the big 4 killed, we shall have problems. I love defaulting my big 4 to the best missions, and if they are dead, I can't.

Tw1 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I've headcannoned that they actually live for thousands of years, so 50 years stuck in space is only a moderate setback for one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOXBLOX Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I hope that they're immortal, though a toggle could be cool. Me too, @Tw1. My headcanon is that Kerbals have a sort of stasis state, and a regenerative state, so they can avoid long waits and heal after pancaking on the ground in a fighter and having only the cockpit survive.

pandaman Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Interesting idea, could add some extra dimensions to mission planning. I doubt it will become a feature though, but definitely needs a toggle if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY ARE THE BEST KERBALS IN THE GAME (ESPECIALLY FOR TOP MISSIONS) AND IF THEY ARE DEAD WE SHALT HAVE PLENTY OF PROBLEMS!

darthgently Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If cryogenic pods are introduced to stock then aging would fit in stock. Otherwise, they are little green immortal frankenhobbits. A mod that only added cryogenic pods and aging is probably the most likely approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 As a species, the kerbals will have to die of natural causes at some point. I just figured that they are a long lived species with a slow reproduction cycle. That's my head cannon anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerkyJerkyWreaksHavoc Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I DO NOT WANNA SEE A LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR ANY OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR... THE OTHER KERBALS, HOWEVER, CAN DIE AS SOON AS THEY NEED TO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
