Question about Possible Challenge

[Styles2304]

I'm in the process of setting up a challenge and I had a question about which route I should take. I would like to require the destruction of some AA sites using TAC Self Destruct as a "C4 Charge". To do that requires KAS also to be able to carry the Self Destruct module.

My question is should I go with the option that requires two mods to complete or just allow a more stock option of disabling the AA sites once reached by a Kerbal?

I suppose the heart of the question is really whether or not requiring 2 additional mods to complete the challenge will be a deterrent for participation or not.

I think more people will take part if you do not make the mod needed. I personally have KAS but i know others wont install it just for a competition.

Any challenge that you submit will face scrutiny from others. Some will hate it because you have mods required, others will hate it because you dont, others will hate it because you are including everyone. You will never make everyone happy, so dont try.

Stay on topic please.

Styles2304, your challenge sounds interesting, I suggest you post it and let players have some fun

I am not saying go out of your way to be mean, but don't worry about how people feel about your challenge. If they don't want to participate then they wont. If you fret about it you will never submit a challenge or do anything in these forums.

Id suggest using the winch system in KAS to "drop" the c4 on the target during a flyby o.o

[worir4]

or maybe plant a flag as the 'c4'.

[Styles2304]

I'm going to post the challenge regardless . . . maybe I'll include the TAC module on each AA site that way it only requires TAC vs TAC AND KAS.

If you where requiring participants to install several heavy mods (ie KW + B9 + NovaP) then I think that would be an issue, but just KAS and the TAC self destruct are small mods (even though KAS adds so much game pay) so I'd suggest that you do what you think is fun. As others have said you'll never satisfy everyone so just do it your way!

[Starwhip]

Well, just those two are not all that bad, but even simple mods may be unavailable for some. Be wary about that.

I think if its an interesting challenge that someone might want to do, so be it!

If it needs the mod to be possible, then again, SO BE IT! Make it happen.

Make stuff, don't worry about what criticisms and complaints and griping might get thrown your way (or do once you put it out there). Don't even worry about if anyone participates or is going to.

Keep putting ideas out there, keep making stuff, and keep trying to give back. Only way you get good at it, figure out what people do want (and what you want), and all the while you're getting better at whatever it is that you are doing.
