Checklist/Undone science, and Mission Planner


Recommended Posts

New item: Photopolarimeter

This would be used to scan the planet you are within the SoI of in order to unlock a list of experiments you have yet to accomplish.

If the observatory is implemented, this would unlock the experiments for high and low orbits in your checklist.

Science could still be done with or without either of these, this would just allow you to see what points of interest exist without actually having to be there.

Who would know (without using the wiki) that there was a distinction between the various flats and hills on minmus?

New archive tab: Undone science/To Do/Checklist

Using the Photopolarimeter will add to a checklist of biomes and experiments that have not yet been done, which leads to the next part.

New functionality: Mission editor/Surface waypoints

After acquiring a few entries on your checklist, you'll have the option to create a mission, or really, just a big fancy waypoint, which will allow you to create an arbitrary target to reach, such as a specific crater or mountain range on a planet.

Once you've done a Photopolarimeter scan of a planet, you'll have access to a biome map, which could also show topographical information to help find a landing spot that's less likely to send you tumbling down a hill.

The topographical layer could be something only unlocked once you've done a scan at low orbit, but high orbit should be adequate to at least light up points of interest.
