This mod is wonderful. I'd love if there were an option to flag mission objectives as repeatable. I tried putting together a sandbox type mission where the player can capture and land on any body freely with rewards proportional to Delta V expenditures. So for instance a player can earn rewards every time they capture or escape from a body. Maybe an SOI change flag would be more simple. Here's my mission so far:

Mission
{
	name = Free Sandbox
	description = Complete any or all of the following for moneys.
	reward = 0



	OrbitGoal
	{
		body = Kerbin
		minApA = 100
		maxEccentricity = 1
	}
	OrbitGoal
	{
		reward = 80000
		optional = true
		body = Kerbin
		minPeA = 70000
		maxEccentricity = 1
	}
	OrbitGoal
	{
		reward = 14000
		optional = true
		body = Kerbin
		minPeA = 2860000
		maxPeA = 2870000
		minApA = 2860000
		maxApA = 2870000
		maxEccentricity = 1
	}

What are you trying to track? There is actually a lot of stuff available in the scripting. I'm writing a scripting reference for this right now. Perhaps, some of what you want to track is already in there. :D

I gotta install Visual Studio in a VM tomorrow cause I want to help with this mod too. It's great!

If you are running linux like I do, you can use MonoDevelop. The copying of the dll is just annoying if you use a VM (sure, you can write your script, but it is still annoying).

I release a new version with:

  • added randomized missions (ComSat Contract I-II), which are repeatable. That way you can get some income if you don't have enough krones to finish other missions. They aren't easy... at least not the first few times.
  • The MC icon is now visible from everywhere. I would like to draw it in three modes only: in editor mode, in flight mode and in the space center mode, but I can't filter the last one. Will be fixed later...
  • Adjusted some prices. Xenon was too expensive.
  • Fixed some minor bugs

Download link is on the first page, this time on my google drive (How does this Kerbal Space Port addon upload thing work? I uploaded it, but it doesn't show up?)

HUGE MISSION FILE

Erm... why don't you split up the mission into seperate missions? One mission for each body? The problem with this would be, that I could land on Minmus, get into a minimal orbit, land again and get a reward? Do I understand you correctly?

Absolutely. I would love it :).

BTW: I was thinking about you guys killing innocent kerbonauts... That is not ok. Like in real life there should be some sort of punishment for killing an innocent kerbonaut, and so far the only possibility is kerbal krones. How about -100000 krones for each killed kerbonaut?

Really impressive mod. I was planning on making something very similar but was delayed due to exams. One thing I was planning on doing for my implementation would be to add a small add on part that allowed for recovery. It would calculate the cost of the parts and fuel of a ship that is landed back on kerbin and add that back to your budget when the mission is ended. Perhaps only a fraction based on the distance to the KSC, so you are rewarded for an accurate landing.

This! You should really look into this nobody44 :) Or work with redteddy23 on it :)

I don't think distance should really be a concern cause you can't track the landing point of these after they are 2.5km away from the craft. But you could make sure they had parachutes on them and then credit the player. :D

I have something similar in mind:

Once you have landed a vessel on the surface of Kerbin you get the option to reuse the vessel and the unused fuel. You press a button, you get the money for the vessel and the flight is ended. Currently I don't know how to end a flight inside my plugin...

Amazing mod!! My feedback:

-Solid fuel price is too high

-Should be visible in VAB

-???

The new version (uploaded today) has reduced solid fuel costs and is visible inside the VAB.

How about just having a button that credits it back to the budget but prevents you from doing anymore of any mission with that craft. You would have to say end it here, then you can check if they are landed or splashed down on Kerbin or even see if the Lat and Long are close enough to the space center or whereever to get the credit. Should be the mission creator that says how much (%) you get back for return, and where the target location is. So the button wouldn't be visible until the credit conditions are met for return of the spacecraft. You do that now with Complete mission buttons.

Yeah it would be for anything that is manually landed, so main ship and anything that gets into at least sub-orbit and has a probe body (or the part it self could act as one). Like you said, most likely the only way to record the recovery of early stages is to have the plugin estimate the recovery of each stage as it is separated, perhaps by making a quick calculation based on its sub-orbit trajectory and likely touchdown speed considering deployed chutes and any atmospheric delta-v it has left.

That would be awesome. Not very elegant but if the mission cannot be ended from inside the plugin there is a more.. explosive way of forcing missions to end.

Good idea about the useless recycled vessel, thanks :)!

But I think the mission creator is not able to say how much % you get back. Consider this: Someone built a really nice reusable Space shuttle, after a successful mission the user lands perfectly on Kerbin and the only krones he is getting back are the ones the mission creator defined in the mission file. Besides the fact, that I think it's unfair ;), this possibility does already exists: an optional landing goal on Kerbin with a reward.

How about this:

Once you land back on Kerbin you get 75% construction and material costs and 95% fuel costs back.

Your only talking about the fuel left over right? I think 25% of the cost of the spacecraft for "wear and tear" (75% back) is fair. 95% would be very fair for the quantity of fuel returned.

Yes, of course, I am talking about the fuel left over :). As long as the fuel tanks do not explode (and if they do, the fuel is gone) nothing happens to the fuel, but the tanks still need to get brought back to KSC, thats the 5%.

Two suggestions about the main post instead of the plugin itself:

- Add a version or build number, or latest build date to keep track of, and update the main post. Currently I can't tell that the plugin has been updated with new features just by looking at the main post.

- Please specify which KSP versions this is (and isn't) compatible with, at least with 0.20 and 0.20.2 as the currently roaming versions. I assume many users will, like me, have the burning question in mind if they can still use it if they update to 0.20.2.

Dumb question but I'll ask anyways cause I can't find any answers anywhere. I've got Xamarin Studio (monoDevelop) installed. I've pulled the git code and loaded the solution. But when trying to compile, obviously i'm getting errors referencing unity. Where do I get the necessary includes and where do i put them / install them?

Sorry, but it's been years since I coded and never with Mono. Thanks!

Those files (UnityEngine.dll and Assembly-CSharp.dll) are in KSP/KSP_Data/Managed.

No problem :), but don't ask me how to reference them *properly* in MonoDevelop. I have a hard time with MonoDevelop myself...
