Jack Mcslay Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So far we have nothing about tourists in KSP2, I hoping there'll be improvement to tourism management to KSP2, such as constructing space hotels to yield greater earnings/attract more contracts and possibly implement minimal stay of a tourist, such that you have to add a bit more challenge rather than just follow technicalities (such as touching the surface of a requested body and take off immediately to fulfill landing requirements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Nothing has been said about Kerbal professions or if they will continue into KSP2. We don't know if there will be contracts or not. For hotels in space, that would fall under the colony side of things. (Probably extra crew quarters added to a colony.) Basically don't assume that the career/science systems in KSP1 with carry forward to KSP2. The devs have said they will be replacing the career/science progression in KSP2. With that said, there's nothing stopping you from having tourists in your game even though they may not be present in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobuxDoge Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I would really like to see this! It would add a whole lot of extra fun to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Before even talk about tourism we should know if money, contracts and funds still play a part in progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavscout74 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The one time they mentioned the play modes, they indicated it would be closer to science mode than career - which to me indicates no contracts or funds. But that was a while ago & I haven't seen anything mentioned since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was a while ago & I haven't seen anything mentioned since With all the working infrastructure we'll have to build, from mining bases to manufacturing plants, refineries, colonies, launch centers and orbital shipyards the need for a "make believe" system like the contracts is greatly diminished and the same goes for money, if you can mine resources and build ships money stop being the core of the resource system and become an optional additional layer of gameplay/realism. Tourism is just another additional layer on top of that, and could be redundant if the game already has a civilian/colonist system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhode_Enterprise_By-Matt Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I really like space tourism, and I do hope it gets a little more complex in KSP 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Ive very often pulled tourism contracts early in career mode in KSP1 mainly because it was usually easy enough to fill a few more seats for some extra cash. It falls away though as I go interplanetary because its just not worth waiting for the return trip. On a philosophical level with so much to do in KSP2 I feel like every effort should be made to not incentivize repetitious missions. But maybe the whole automated milk-run system could cover tourist and personnel transfers as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The semi-automation features seem to partially make KSP2 into a city building game, so being able to transport tourists just by assigning them wouldn't seem out of the ordinary. Still, there should be specific tasks when arriving at the destination to fulfiil the contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kerbal Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Uh. Like like this idea. But we know little information about Adventure Mode of KSP2 (Career Mode of KSP2) so Tourism might be a bit, um. Not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Александр_ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Было бы круто самому формировать путевки. А то в заданиях из группы туристов половина хочет в разные места, сортируй их потом в ангаре, кого в какой корабль сажать. Quote It would be cool to shape the vouchers yourself. And then in the tasks from a group of tourists, half wants to go to different places, sort them later in the hangar, who to put in which ship.

MeatyBoi Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This is one reason why ksp 2 with mods will be awesome there is so much in you can push the boundary's hell you could make city skylines levels of complexity with ksp 2 mods this is 1 reason why ksp 2 will have a much longer lifespan than ksp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like this but there would need to be some diminishing returns for balancing... and that's how it should work in reality anyway. I hope we get a glimpse at how milk-run mechanics will function soon too. Surely there will be limiting factors to how often an automated ship would launch as not to complete a million tourist contracts per day if a similar system remains in the game.

Pthigrivi Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) @mcwaffles2003 Good point. It might even be a reason to just not have tourism contracts if the options were baby sitting repeat missions or time-warp infinimoney. Diminishing returns that zero out could work, but they should end before the returns dip below the journey’s fuel cost, or offer a message that the venture is no longer profitable? Seems hinkey but works I guess. It might be better if the trips were one way and it was just an alternative method for managing colony populations, though I guess thats not tourism, just loading duders onto a spaceliner.
