Get rid of classes for sandbox

[Las-pen]

I'm not sure where to post this so I post this here.

I play exclusively sandbox and want to get rid of those new classes they introduced in 0.9. I don't want to every time search the crew list for certain kerbals with certain classes.

I want the first bloody kerbal on the list, my favourite Kerman, (not JBB, those guys are somewhere in interstellar space with no oxygen) to be able to do everything.

Or do I just have to start building every ship with a drone part?

Edit all Kerbals to pilots? Edit Kerbals to have all classes?

If this feature had always been in the game you wouldn't be the least bit upset at how long it takes to scroll a list of ten names to pick out a pilot.

0.90 not 0.9

Dude has a point. The whole point of sandbox is that you don't have the career limitations. All kerbals should be 5-star "multi-taskers" (a class that combines pilot, scientist and engineer) in Sandbox.

I think the auto-seat-fill should chose the best pilot first, followed by the best engineer, then the best scientist, then the lowest experience Kerbals to fill the remaining seats.

However, while classes should probably remain visible in sandbox, they should not determine abilities by default or there should be a toggle to turn on and off class restrictions on actions. (This should be set on the difficulty menu but editable from the debug/cheat panel.)

A simple flag check could have solved this quite simply in a simple "algorithm", like:

1- Check which game mode is being played.

2- If the mode is sandbox, remove class limitations.

3- Otherwise, apply class features based on the game mode played (which should provide info of that as well).

Edit the "C:\KSP_win\GameData\Squad\Experience\Traits.cfg" file. And give every "EXPERIENCE_TRAIT" all the "EFFECT" listed there, and every kerbal will act as a multi-talented kerbal.

Really? What possible difference does it make for anyone other than the painfully analy retentive?

Edit the "C:\KSP_win\GameData\Squad\Experience\Traits.cfg" file. And give every "EXPERIENCE_TRAIT" all the "EFFECT" listed there, and every kerbal will act as a multi-talented kerbal.

Unfortunately that would also impact all Career games you run too. It's an ok solution if you only play sandbox though.
