Unupgraded they run for awhile. Upgraded they run shorter lives.

Then don't upgrade the ones you use for power.

Problem solved.

I'm PRETTY sure that you have to upgrade everything individually, right?

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Probes can plant flags and take surface samples now?
Wait, what?
Quote from: puke on January 06, 2015, 12:56:21 pm
In terms of game balance, it used to be that if you wanted a surface sample or a flag planted, you needed to crew the ship.  I'm not sure what could make pilots relevant now, except that they can still perform that function for some weight and cost savings on a single-kerbal ship.
I don't know either.

yeah you need a crew to plant flags and get samples

Pilots also add autopilot when they have alot of skill, and I think more skill also improves the SAS.

Ones that already exist? Yes. Ones built after you tech up and unlock the upgrades happen automatically when building them. You don't have a choice there. Manual downgrades is a feature that's been requested many times over the past year or more.

Ah, that makes sense I suppose.

Still, I don't think I've ever had a GAME last long enough for one of those things to go dry, let alone a mission.

Shipping up Kerbals to the Mun and Minmus for level ups is tedious. I need a cheap runabout that can do both and isn't a SSTO plane. Getting them to level 3 and up so engineers can actually repair important things like landing gear and wheels? ARGH!!

I think they can only get to level 2 without leaving the Kerbin system.  And they can get to that without landing -- just orbiting each body.

Fly them all on a big space-bus, get an orbit of each planetoid, come home.

Just dont do what I did and have the landing vehicle tip over back on Kerbin, destroying two hitchhiker containers and killing everyone but Jeb.

haha!  if that was true I'd just fly them around kerbin collecting souls until my core team was all rank-5.

Those suits started out white, but now they're stained orange with the tang-flavored blood of their countrymen.

You can get to the middle of level 2 by landing on each moon of Kerbin. Anything beyond that requires years of travel.

The major annoyance is that I'm starting to build off-planet with Extraplanetary Launchpads/Karbonite and you have to shuttle kerbals all over, return to Kerbin, then ship them back into space. Then they have to come back to Kerbin to level up again. Even without Karbonite you have to do most of that. You could do a grand tour, but then you've just done a grand tour. What's the difference between you're rookies and experienced kerbals at that point?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
