Relevant data POLE

[HafCoJoe]

*I've seen posts disagreeing with science as well but I haven't seen a pole.

I strongly agree with everyone who says KSP career is the worst of grinding and would like to see development in branches relevant to what types of flight you are doing.

If I fly a plane 10 kilometers across the ocean, I would like to get more advanced lift or control. If I fly in high atmosphere, I want better efficiency.

more times you get in orbit, the more probe pieces unlocked.

If I travel to another planet, I'd like better survivability and likewise...

NOT GETTING JETS FOR GOING TO AN ATMOSPHERE-LESS MOON!

I think many of you agree with me and possibly there should be 2 options for career tree planning - one with generic science and one with relevance to flights?

Didn't justify my repeat pole

I suggest a 4th option:

"It's in early development so there's no point in being over critical so early. If I want to get aero stuff for doing flying stuff I'll use those points on those branches".

or somesuch.

I know! It's almost like this game is in freaking alpha or something!

...oh wait

[HafCoJoe]

xD you guys are right.

The science points are fine as they are.

However while I'm fine with the tech tree as it is... pretty much... There are several different arrangements I think could be tried that may be better.

Like multiple trees for instance ... an Atmosphere tree, Ground tree, Science tree, Rocket tree... Don't have any interdependence between the trees... if you need to have the same part in multiple places on the trees that's fine. This lets people put the points into the area of focus they like the most and get the parts that they need to make that area work.

Can Jeb climb the Science Pole?

Can Kerbals pole dance? Oh no better no!

i think they are fine the way they are; the development of powered flight was mostly about improvements in metallurgy and machining, powered looms helped the development of computers. developments in one area often help things in completely different areas.

generic Science! points are easy to deal with, and it helps keep the open feel of the game (i don't have to fly planes to research planes, so i can do what i want and still move up the tech tree).

That's what I mean lol. I phrased it badly I think

[DChurchill]

A barber pole? The north pole? A telephone pole? A polecat?

I'm so confused.

[Kerbonautical]

The game may be in Alpha but being an early access game we're expected to voice our concerns. However there's no point in beating a dead horse, and I'm fairly certain the devs are aware the people want to see the Science expanded upon heavily in the future.

I want a stripper pole in the hitchiker module!

[Torham234]

Science pole... isn't that the Communotron 16?
