Career without Science.

[Doctor Axel]

Hi all ^^

A quick glance indicates that this hasn't been discussed very much - since we have a Science mode without Career stuff, how about a Career mode without Science? A mode with all parts unlocked and no science rewards (though you could still get contracts for doing situational experiments).

Alternatively, you could make "Science" and "Career" two independent settings on gamestart.

What do we think? ^^

With the exception of this:

(though you could still get contracts for doing situational experiments).

you just described Sandbox mode.

The difference being that money would still matter (like Career) but all parts would already be unlocked. Unless I'm missing something about Sandbox mode?

You can achieve that by editing your persistence file. Start a new Career game, then return to main menu and edit the persistent.sfs file in a plain text editor. Find this:

	SCENARIO
	{
		name = ResearchAndDevelopment
		scene = 7, 8, 5, 6, 9
		sci = 0

And change it to this:

	SCENARIO
	{
		name = ResearchAndDevelopment
		scene = 7, 8, 5, 6, 9
		[COLOR="#FF0000"]sci = 10098[/COLOR]

Then open the game again, go to R&D and uncover the whole tech tree.

You'll end up with 0 science and all tech available.

But I agree that this option could be in main game too.

Ah ok, now I see what the difference is.
