Fake Contracts for nothing

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Hello! I am bringing up this topic that I posted before the April forum glitch. So I will tell it again

The idea is that there can be a Kerbal Prince (example), which offers you to do a greatly difficult thing, for a great price. You would do this, but then nothing in return. He would be easily identifiable, but still hard to tell if he is legit or not

If I'm understanding you correctly, you mean you would be offered a contract which, upon completion, wouldn't deliver the agreed upon reward. Is that right?

If that's what you mean I'm not sure what it would add to the game other than frustration.

And this is why...?

Variety? Something to actually look at to do, instead of just clicking and accepting? Of course they won't be simple things. But they will be more like "Test This giant engine in low sun orbit".

If you're just "clicking and accepting", you're gonna get burned when accept impossible contracts (and yes, they have been noted, e.g. testing launch clamps on the Mun).

As for the original proposal... I'd have to echo the previous response: Why?

"Just to do something" barely even qualifies as a reason, and it's certainly not a good one.

That sounds rather pointless and not really fun at all. It would only make the game frustrating, and not in a good way.

Seriously, who scams a space program?

[Whirligig Girl]

A prince, that's who.

But seriously, this wouldn't be fun.

What would be fun is exactly the opposite, getting a reward boost for performing a mission in a shorter time or under some other specific parameter hidden from the player on the contract (like an optimal condition testing).
