gussi111 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I was thinking besides having colonies on other planets maybe we could be able to setup small research stations in Kerbins different biomes (for example deserts, north/south pole etc.) that would ocassionally give us science points as long as scientists are learning more things about that biome, and perhaps we could launch small vehicles from the station that would need to bring samples or measurements from specific places inside the biome to the station for extra science points. What do you think? Edited September 14, 2021 by gussi111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicTech Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 So basically manned outposts? Wouldn't that be a Science Lab+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekfastDerp13 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Maybe the research stations could grow if the research area is very profitable in terms of science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 There wouldn't be much of a difference between a research and mining outpost logisticly. If you can add a lab to get science, I'll be adding them to all outposts and bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirgal Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I used to do this back in KSP1 just for fun. Flying a mission to the north pole (takes about 30 mins if I remember correctly). Landing, walking around a bit on the ice and feeling empty inside. Good times! Even if we ignore the likely science benefits, being able to construct new space centres anywhere means we'll definitely find some cool places to turn into playgrounds, valleys, canyons, mountains, the giant crater on Kerbin. Can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwery123 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Colonies will likely function exactly as this. I mean that I think it will be possible to have colonies on Kerbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Fluffy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Science lab? I really like that idea. They can in KSP1 generate absurd amounts of science though, so that would probably be nerfed. Also, these would need less recourses than colonies, and would be cheaper. Maybe just a launch pad+runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
