Reverting to launch and to VAB in Career mode should cost science.

Hello kerbal killers,

After playing 0.22, and really enjoying it a lot, i am starting to see some "cheaty" situations.

for example: When i crash my vessel, and kill my kerbal, i can Revert it to launch, and have both my kerbal and my vehicle magically back.

I know a cool workaround for this:

On VAB, you add another button called: test Launch.

that launch is timed, like 90 seconds, and its free, even if u fail and crash to revert to eighter launch or VAB.

Then u have the normal launch.

when u normal launch, and then u crash, U should Lose permanently that kerbal, and u should have an option to revert but At a cost in science.

and that cost should be variable depending on where it crashed.

and when u revert by paying science, you will get a new Kerbal.

I must admit i do think this too. And maybe limit quicksaves to 1 or 2 a flight. However the beginner players are going to go through alot of science and kerbals. Maybe a difficulty system.

Easy allows reverts and invitate quicksaves,

medium allows reverts up to 10 minutes into a flight with limited amount of quicksaves

hard doesnt allow reverting or quicksaves

hardcore. Same as hard but with time warp limited to 2x (or something stupid like that a silly idea i know but I would attempt it )

I personally set myself the task of not reverting to launch unless i deem it a test flight. If my craft makes it to 60km i will revert and class further flights as KAR (kerbal at risk) flights

yep dificulty settings or something would be exacly what i want xD .

also limiting warp to 2x is suicide if u want to drive to another planet xD

which is why its hardcore mmuhahahahaha. I think my first eelloo mission was something like 1600 days...so 800 days at 2x warp. I would have to be hardcore to see that one through!

I like the idea of "test launch" though I'd say let it go as far as possible. Maybe you want to test your landing gear on Eve...

Then how is it different from changing nothing?
