NPC Kerbals at the KSC

[Stinkk]

Hi!

I was recently walking around the KSC admiring the new buildings, and it just feels a little barren. Compare it to the lively feeling while inside the VAB/SPH.

Since the textures and models already exist for Kerbals and vehicles, it would be sweet if they could be added to the centre.

sounds like somebody wants to go on a GTA style driving rampage

you mean like finding Kerbals drinking their coffee or having a smoke break near the fuel tank and stuff?

I think so. Probably wandering around the Space Center scene as well.

[Tw1]

This would make things more interesting.

But I would hope a space center would be a no smoking zone.

I was meaning to make a grandstand for kerbals to watch from a while ago.. Maybe sometime.

Yes! this is perfect! this is EXACTLY what the game needs! (no sarcasm!)

[skyace65]

something I'd love to have in addition to walking around the space center. but only once squad fixes a lot more lag issues. mainly the ocean being loaded as a separate planet from kerbin(the game loads 2 planets at once) once that lag gets cut down drastically than i would love this

[DRHARNESS]

this is an awesome idea

[montyben101]

Great idea it does feel a little bare

[squirtgun1234]

nice idea!!!

The physics are already there. Basically an autopilot for Kerbals in normal clothes would do it.

[Diche Bach]

Great idea!

[rewdew2]

i think i know how you could do something like this.

Mod the game so that you can, 1. drive vehicles like rovers (right click and get in as if they were seats) 2. be able to hit the kerbals walking around like they're kerbalnauts on EVA. (they'll get back up and go back to what they were doing)

But this would have to be like, you place a part in the VAB, and it's like hitting launch. but it stays the same VAB scene.

Good Idea! Your right, KSC is a bit barren at the moment.

[tygoo7]

Great idea! I wouldn't care if they didn't have colliders, it would still make it feel more lively.

[rdfox]

Note that this might make it more complex--remember, most of the time, when you're outside the VAB on the KSC complex, there's a rocket on the pad, fully fueled, and logically, the area would be a No-Go Zone for all but essential personnel in case it blows up on the pad. If you've ever gone on the bus tour of Kennedy Space Center, you might be surprised how few non-tourist people you see outside there...

Thats a good idea, i hope they do add it when they finally add cities

Maybe some cars and planes going around too

Well, I would think there is a reason everyone is inside, considering the explodey-ness of Kerbal tech.
