Civilization Integration and News Reports

[LeValkyr]

It would be cool to integrate a civilization onto Kerbin (cities and culture). I know it would add tons more data to the files, but just a thought. It would also be neat to view news reports going on in Kerbin and seeing your successful missions in the Kerbin Media What does everyone think?

[Mr Tiddles]

yesh!

i would love to see this in the game

[Ikaneko]

News reports would be feasible, as well as a nice touch!

Yeah, I like it!

[mattinoz]

Yes, looking forward to JFKerbal's "we choose to go to the Mun" speech.

This seems like a good idea. They could incorporate the new KSC destruction feature into this.

As a tumbler person would annoyingly say "OMG... THIS!"

Wow, sounds hard to include without a lot of data use, but also sounds awesome! Well, cities at least. News and other world reactions wouldn't be ridiculous though! You go to the news screen and see "KSP rockets crash downtown, terrorize thousands!"(big rep and funds drained from that crashed SSTO of yours) with a funny news page and cute, silly side stories. The side stories could even be things like "Public losing interest in space" or "Astronomy club finds potentially habitable planets" that affect funds/science/rep and gain of those resources. Or "Researchers create more efficient aerospace construction techniques" or something similar that affects price of launches and other infrastructure! Tax rates? Adding a world to interact with would change so much! No more of Kerbin being almost as barren as the Mun or Duna!

Agreed. This will be the perfect addition.

A very long time a go I started sketching up a mod that would display a procedurally generated newspaper that reflected your mission when you recovered a craft. It never got past the drawing board.

Shame... It's a great concept.

I had somewhat always figured that something like this would eventually make its way into the game.

Also I'd appreciate being able to keep track of my investments in the snack exchange.
