Top tier buildings give you 1 star Kerbonaughts.

[SmashBrown]

Just thinking, if we have the astronaut complex fully upgraded, it would make all our pilots level 1, R&D 1star scientists, and the VAB 1 star engineers. It makes sense in my head, for some reason. What do you folks think?

I like it! A prestigious organisation should attract only the top recruits. Although I kinda think this should be tied to more than just one building, maybe even all of them.

I imagine this would be an even better idea when we get more skills for all the jobs.

Indeed. Some form of kerbal attachment system for engineers will be great.

I wouldn't limit KAS to just engineers. But limit some actions to only engineers.

Imagine some sort of "follow me" command for kerbals on EVA. Where you have your crewmates cooperatively carry a large gigantor solar panel from storage. But only the engineer can actually attach it.

Oh that sounds soooooooo good. Someone make it so!

This reminded me of the Chuckle Brothers carry some thing. (If you know who they are)

This seems like a good idea, and it makes sense too.

Like it too! But I have a different idea: what about besides automatically giving one star to all my kerbalnauts (the ones above that level would be changed) and one star beyond the current level but ONLY to the big three (Jeb, Bill and Bob)? I mean, the ones of the three who are alive automatically receive ANOTHER star (if they one, end with two, and so on).

This way, it would stimulate to keep them alive...

Just yesterday I was thinking of something very much along those lines.

Tier 4 R&D: all newly hired scientists start at 1 star.

Tier 4 VAB: all new engineers start at 1 star.

Tier 4 Tracking: all new pilots start at 1 star.

Tier 4 Astronaut complex: all crew can be trained up to 1 star.

The same for tier 5 but now 2 star instead of 1.
