KSP Co-op Multiplayer idea

[PatPL]

OK, so there's my idea:

Few players choose a leader.

Leader takes control of the money, science, research, strategies

Leader gives tasks and budget for his friends example:

- You have 30000 funds, launch a satellite

- You have 50000 funds, place rover on Mun

- You have 40000 funds, add new module to space station

After their job is done, they skip one year, and start again with one mission.

How do you wait for a proper window to fly to another planet?

What happens if one person needs to speed up time and the other does not?

What happens if two people want to launch at the same time?

...list goes on.

Well, the idea has potential. If you think of the "leader" as being more of a GM or DM-type role, setting tasks for the various players, then problems with time warp can be dealt with using subspaces. That much, and the "launching at the same time" problem, is already solved in DarkMultiplayer.

So the GM can set tasks and time limits, and it's up to the players how they complete those tasks, and whether they warp or not.

This isn't terribly far off what I had planned for DMP 0.1.7.

After I code groups, certain SCENARIO module data blocks can then be chosen to be shared.

You idea extends this by only allowing the leader to pick what has to be done, along with new contracts...

This could likely be done with DMP as-is, as it now has a plugin system that you can also send data over. If I had more time I might even put effort into this myself

nonono,

I mean, that Everyone has one year. They do things, and then after ther're done leader skips time to next year, friends sync their save with new vessels placed by someone else.

There may be small problem wiht docking, but it can be solved like:

- You dock here

- You dock there

And after the year both modules are in their place.

I'll make a picture showing this idea more clearly
