    Specific proposals for a scientific points system

    Honestly, I have a gap in my understanding of a number of mathematical problems (someday I'll find the time to just sit down and review Differentials and such), so I didn't really consider a half-life approach. I was more reliant on two ideas: that it could be calculated using the integral and...

    Specific proposals for a scientific points system

    What did you think of the contract system for parts testing in the KSP? Honestly, I couldn't stand this particular type of mission because of the very narrow tolerances for completing them. I'm a little alarmed by how similar your system is to those contract tasks. Don't you think it might...

    Specific proposals for a scientific points system

    Yes, the achievement system might be good, but I'm afraid I simply can't imagine the number of conditions that would mark each unlock of a part or group of parts. I suppose it could be included in the unlocking of "Big Tech Branches," but certainly not for every one. There's no need to worry...

    Specific proposals for a scientific points system

    Problem: I've always liked the science point system in the KSP, but it has a number of shortcomings that I believe can be addressed.1. The first shortcoming was that instruments designed for long-term, productive operation, rather than for a one-time science yield, such as telescopes or...
