Rob the KSC

[Clockwork13]

Challenge: Land at least 20 kerbals on any of the KSC buildings without losing any.

If you're going for an "oceans 11" kind of challenge, I think that would be really cool, especially if it had more mini-challenges as a part of it (like an escape vehicle that can get x meters away in x seconds with all kerbals on board, able to carry the "stolen" item(s). A way to get in to the building, bonus points for things that look like drills or by blowing a hole in using a stack separator, etc.). However, as it stands the challenge has no scoring and isnt terribly difficult. I think the premise could be cool, but you will need to add a bit more to make it interesting, difficult, or otherwise scoreable. How many launches do I get, can I use mods, etc.

You may want to read the challenge guidelines posted HERE. It is also usually recommended that you attempt it yourself and post proof. I really do think a "mission impossible" challenge could be pretty cool....

So.. I would recommend a complete overhaul of this challenge. One, 20 is an arbitrary number, two, it needs a lot of fleshing out.

My recommendations:

Points per kerbal landed.

Points for stealth and speed, get back to your secret base on the other side of the mountains ASAP. Fewer rockets and jets and lower power is stealthier, as is a smaller craft. Being able to bring back loot is useful as well. fewer trips is a big bonus, especially on the way back.

Finally, big expensive throwaway stages and thousands of units of fuel cut into your profits a lot, and buying a 747-sized getaway chopper upfront isn't exactly easy either, these should be taken into account as well.

Oh, for stealth, if you drop anything hard enough to make it explode on the KSC greens, that should be a penalty, if you drop it on a building, automatic disqualification due to alerting the inhabitants.
