Vortygont Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I thought about KSP2 game mode, which will replace career mode, and decide that this "progression" mode must have some important details to correspond to its name or/and meaning When you played career in original game, you after achieving records have messages in game mails from Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society about your achievements. You could see them in your contracts journal. But in KSP2 I'm not sure we will have contracts and journal, maybe only archive with science notes. And I suggest my idea of improved journal After reaching orbit or surface of some celestial object or another important event you will have in your journal date and description of event: where and what you did, name of spacecraft, names of kerbals if it had it. For example: Year 245 Date 5/6 11:34 First landing on Mun by autonomus spacecraft Lander-1 Year 245 Date 7/9 22:57 First fly-by of Duna by autonomus spacecraft Dun-3 Year 246 Date 2/1 16:04 First landing on Mun with crew Jeb Kerman and Bill Kerbal by spacecraft Mun-lander Year 246 Date 4/3 00:48 First fly-by of Minmus with crew Bob Kerval, Bill Kerbal and Tim Kervin by spacecraft Orbit_minmus ... Year 259 Date 9/1 08:45 The Duna colony Duna-Startown population reached 500 kerbals How it will fit into the game depends of developers' view, maybe it will be in archieve with science or there will be another special journal This will highlight all your steps and achievements on the path of space exploration, and they will not be forgotten, but rather enshrined in the journal. You can easily turn your gaze to the past and see all the path you have passed. This journal will be the history of space exploration of kerbalkind It will encourgae players to reach new limits, thereby adding to the list of achievements in the journal. It can be comfortble fuction for speedrunners because they will have be able to record their achievements in pleasant form. For multiplayer space race can be also added name of player's agency in message Overall I expect also improved writing in game, and not only parts, but agencies, sciences experiments, bodies will have interesting and important descriptions with lore of game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeekzeek22 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I think this could also be linked to the flags...plant a flag, generate an event in your journal with the text you write in the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite so. Meaning is not about random events, but to capture your important milestones in space exploration. If it is flag in a new place it can be added in journal of your milestones, but not other steps that are completely passed. And not only flags of course. This journal will be storymap of your spacee program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaman Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I like the idea, but there may need to be some 'filters' to select which events get added,. How is the game supposed to know if a given event is of personal significance? Perhaps 'pop-ups' asking if you want to log it could also be useful.

zeekzeek22 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well, that’s why I think it makes sense to have pre-determined “firsts”, but outside of that, the personal aspect would be being able to manually add events by planting flags or some orbital equivalent. Seems like a simple combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
