Test Launches

Recommended Posts

With the advent of actual hard mode without reversions, I believe that it would be prudent to have a mod in which each launch would have to be declared a test or not. As a failed launch can be disastrous, cheaper 'test' launches would be insurance in case of silly, difficult-to-avoid building flaws. A test launch would probably have no Kerbals in it, even with a manned capsule, and could be launched at some fraction of the original cost. However, no contracts could be fulfilled in a test launch, the ship would not be persistent after the flight is ended (or some effect to that manner), and launches might be restricted to the Kerbin system, though that restriction might not be necessary. Potentially, this option could be enabled or disabled in the new difficulty settings, and the launch discount could be changed.

I would attempt this (learning C# is probably a good idea in general), but I don't have the free time or likely the aptitude. I feel this mod has potential to make the career more logical, and might convince some players to take the plunge into Iron mode without the fear of long-term enfeeblement due to a simple staging mishap.

Thanks to any who want to try to do this, and to everybody who has already made mods.
