Two minor changes in science


Recommended Posts

First off, being able to use kerbals to collect experiment results in EVA and storing it on his capsule; as of now, the only options we have for collecting the science from experiments is either transmitting it back at a somewhat considerable loss or bringing it back with yourself.

Allowing us to use kerbals in EVA to take notes/collect the results of the experiment (even at a loss, maybe, say... only 90% of the data is kept, to give it some meaning rather than just transmitting) and storing it on their pods (more thought could be put into this, but as a placeholder limit the capacity of how many results you can carry to, say, 4, and also make it so you can only store one result per experiment, so it doesn't stack that badly) so they can bring it back on reentry can make more sense than bringing the entire craft down, with the experiments already done, sometimes, even though you lose a bit of science for doing it, are limited to one note per experiment, and you're limited to the previously suggested number of how many results you can bring back on your pod. This can give us a reason to do manned missions instead of probed ones, since we can simply perform the experiments where we wish to, collect them, discard the science part and go back home with the results.

My second suggestion is in regard to antennae, to have some purpose in keeping them open, make them passively produce science while they're extended, at the cost of electricity(or not), to help prevent farming of science through this method, make the quantity of science produced by it exponentially decrease, so it never stops giving out science, but it very quickly starts to do it a lot slower.
