Rework science Stuff

Recommended Posts

I've just post this on the Reddit thread, but, sadly, i don't have any skill or ability with coding stuff.

So, if someone love the idea, and have some time to pass on it, just feel free to make it real. At last, if no one want a try, it's the same !

However, thank you for all of this beautiful mod and parts

"Ok guys. I have few questions to make a plugin who reworks the actual science in KSP. I know, it's late and the beta is near, but, i think it's can serve for the 0.9.

I'm a real newbie in this world but i hope you can help.

Lets talk about Science stuff now ! First of all, i want to make the experiments automatic. No clic, they just run every time. Ok, just on clic and you launch the experimentation. I want have some reserve, like fuel, but inverted. They grow up with time when you stay at some biome, to the maximum level of science (like the same at present in the game). I think the ScanSat plugin is a great option for this no ?

Just think about it. Put your science stuff one a plane, fly to the Upper Atmosphere, launch the experimentation and just try to stay at the same altitude. The longer you stay, the more Science you gain.

Place an satelite in high orbite of Duna, and drop some science pod to the surface. Now ? Do something else ! After few orbit, you can juste come back and take your science.

Why i want that ? 'cause, except with ScanSat or another ressource searcher, You don't have to wait. And, for me, it's not fun. Realy. I mean, thermometer survey, or the gravioli detector, they are not juste pic some value at ONE time, but values time after time.

And if you want some quickly science, just use the time warp no ?

Another exemple: you've launch an automatique probe to Duna. Your best rover. At the limit of the atmosphère, you launch your atmospheric sensor. The science begin to accumulate. Then, you pass to the low atmosphere, and after you landed (hopefully in one piece). After some time, the reserve of science is full. Just send it back to Kerbin (or relay station, i don't care). At this point, you have some "high atmosphere" data, "low atmosphere" data and "landed" data. You want complete the "high atmosphere" ? Just send a plane. A great one.

Now, what do you think about this idea ? ........ ? Brilliant ? Boring ? Tel me. And, please, help me to make this thing happens !"
