Kerbal Economy Enhancements

[johnqevil]

$600 a day is WAY to much to be paying them, quick look at nasa website shows that the pay is closer to 60k a year. http://astronauts.nasa.gov/content/faq.htm They get paid on the goverment scale between GS-11 and GS-14 which translates to $64k - $141K a year, your paying them almost double the peak pay.

600 * 365 = 219,000

Closer to realistic would be $175-386 a day

Why not an amount based on their stats? Then they're paid what they're worth.

I play with KCT, and with the current state of this mod I just can't use it, after a couple of days I run out of money

So I altered the plugin for my personal use. What I did was the following:

Raised payout interval from every day to every week.

Lowered base amount alot (still experimenting with the basewage)

Kerbals courage and stupidity are considered. Max courage and no stupidity -> kerbals with high courage/low stupidity get much more money (max 8x base amount), low courage / high stupidity kerbals get way less money (min 37% of basewage)

I play with MKS and EPL too, so I need low stupid kerbals, which are more expensive.

Works quite well for me, maybe something like this could be implemented in this mod.

I'd be very, very interested in an upload of your modification.

Nice idea! Though if I have to pay more for kerbals who have done stuff, shouldn't I just fire them the moment they come home to keep costs down?

Don't want them getting full of themselves

Me too, I also noticed that playing with KCT this mods is a bit too harsh...

So is anybody still here or is it completely dead?
