Let’s face it, this can get bloated real fast.

 

with the base Kerbal 1 system you have 3 classes that level up by flying. They have a set of skills and that are specific to each

 

with something like MKS you have 13 classes With 13 additional skills divided amongst them. Again they apparently level up by flying around. Unless you use other mods….

 

I think if your going to have skills you would want to use something like you see in some more recent games, where the kill levels up by doing, pilots would level by flying, scientists will level from doing research tasks and experiments. Engineers will level from doing engineering tasks, and so on. You might have something like an academy that teaches over time, but perhaps more slowly.

Yes, it can. The overall problems stays the same. How do you level up dozens of Kerbals avoiding the problems with random generation and the tedium of micromanagement. Having Kerbals level up by doing a task isn't a bad way to tackle one of the problems. It doesn't solve the volume and micromanagement.

Personally, I think specific skills shouldn't be applied to any Kerbals apon generation. The skills that they learn should be determined by the roles they are most used for. (I still feel adding specific roles to KSP1 was a stupid idea. The only reason I'm entertaining it for KSP2 is it can be made a useful game mechanic.) At that point you can follow a Kerbal and hand craft their skill set or just randomly assign them to a task and they will excel. That way if you want to micromanage your Kerbals, you can. Or you just not care and put whomever you want on a task. 

I guess I'm on the "whatever my Kerbals do, they excel in that camp."
