What do you think Kerbal Currency should be called?

[kerbonaut101]

I think I'll re-ban the letter K....

I second this (unless its relevent to the Question being asked)... to many K's....

First, the devs need to determine what technology level the Kerbals use for kurrency. Should they use a modern system of kredit kards, or should Kerbals use a system of kash and koins to konduct trade? Given the lack of evidence of kurrent civilization, perhaps they are even stuck with a barter ekonomy, trading rocket parts and fuel for livestock like kows or trade goods like knives.

you dont need to replace every C with a K...

Perhaps an homage to BARIS is in order - Megabucks. 1 megabuck = 1 million regular bucks or credits or whatever, but presented in a fun way so you can have the fun of a part costing only 2 of something but then realizing you've spent 200 billion actual-bucks in total.

If they have nuclear rockets it safe to say they have at least a 10 year head start on us (there technology is probably what we will have IRL in 2020's/2030's)

We had nuclear rocket engines five decades ago. We just never put them into use.

I think I'll re-ban the letter K....

So, it worked, then?

Need to? No. But then it would not have the same effect.

How about Bits? And then once it's in the thousand range it turns into Bobs. Therefore a orbital rocket would cost a lot of Bits and Bobs.

WE GOT A HATER OVER HERE. It's obvious that everything needs K's in it.

At the million range: a doodad

I really like the idea of kerbits.

(I know about the problem with the k thing, but it's a silly tradition.)

...KerBitCoins?

[cantab]

I still say kuid.

But I'll be happy with anything as long as it's not called credits. Or kredits. I hate that sci-fi cliche.

[AbhChallenger]

...KerBitCoins?

Don't give the damn coin miners any ideas.

[KASASpace]

How about K-Bills. Like, from MechWarrior? C-bills, you know......

[Antipaten]

How about Koins? :-)

[The_Rebel_Flagship]

They should be called "Kerbucks"

[MKI]

Bills

If Jeb has his own junkyard, What if Bill is a government official, thus BILLS XD

i think kerbals should get paid in chickens.

[lajoswinkler]

Was it so hard to type CURRENCY into the search field?

They already have a surplus of chickens... in their kerbonaut roster.

[Javster]

"Bells"?

For some reason it rings true...

I'll show you the ropes of the forum.

[KaBob]

Kerbency, obviously.

Not really though =p

[Tery215]

BitKoins.

Obviously you can't see much of the resources. What does Kethane look like?

See the green gas? That's Kethane.

Buck

Basic Unit of Currency of Kerbals

[hjrrockies]

Isn't that obvious? Kerbals are aliens and don't have Dollars, Euros, Yen, Pesos or Pounds. Why would they have something that sounds the same?

Besides that, linking a Kerbal currency to a real world equivalent might inadvertently link it to that country/continent's ideology. And that is something that definitely does not belong in the game.

The "Mun" would like to disagree with you there.

Buck

Fun with acronyms are the best.

For my 2 cents, I say Osep. Backwards Spanish for "money/dollar," since the Kerbals speak it, no?

[Deathsoul097]

Kash.

Nuff Said.

/thread

(I plan on calling it this anyway, so...)

[Rowsdower]

Kesos was a no, in case anyone was wondering.
