KSP Cut Scenes

[ak267]

I love your game and have a few ideas for cut scenes.

1. Fix the ComSat

A comsat has malfunctioned and the KSP is off to the rescue! An orbiter is sent out to rendezvous with the satellite, swap out a defective part with a fresh part via an EVA, and the orbiter successfully returns back to Kerben.

In the cut scene, a Kerbal astronaut is seen switching out the defective part then gives a thumbs up to mission control (The head mission control leader gives a thumbs up then hits a transmit button).

Meanwhile, in a Kerbal home, sports fans (wearing team jerseys) eagerly await a broadcast (TV says, "Please stand by...technical difficulties"). The game appears on the screen and the sports fans cheer with glee.

2. Victory Parade

After every major milestone (first suborbital, orbital, moon/planet landing....with a successful return) there is a cut scene of a victory parade. The returning astronauts are seen in an open air limo waving to the cheering crowd (in their KSP uniforms...minus helmets). On a podium, the astronauts are given medals and reporter flashbulbs light up. One of the dumber Kerbals starts to gnaw on the medal thinking it's chocolate candy.....the other astronauts "face-palm".

Other comical outcomes could have one astronaut tripping on the podium stairs, having the astronaut's fans storm the podium, to one Kerbal doing an ad-hoc commercial.

3. The Six Million Dollar Kerbal

First of all, welcome to the forums!

I'm not sure if I like the idea, the first one is too specific in my opinion, while the second one would happen too often, you would just end up clicking it away. Once kerbals have been properly integrated in the game (like with mission stats and skills that matter) it might be nice to be able to give them medals though, so you still get a reward for them doing awesome stuff in space.

And on 3... aren't you talking about Jeb?

Have a nice day!

I see a few problems with this. How will it know if you meant to go suborbital? And flying through the atmosphere in a plane is considered suborbital.
