    Satellite Mechanics

    That'd be awesome, I think its a great outlet because space telescope launches are also _fraught_ with danger when it comes to how many things have to go right for them too. I think they're a fantastic and fun piece of the progression for players making sure your speeds, location, deployment...

    Satellite Mechanics

    I won't be posting this on the Discord as per the post above, but thank you for the suggestion. Yea I expect we'll see a fantastic mod for it eventually, I just think it'll be something even better if its part of the core game. KSP for all its joys, was just about shipping a Kerbal to a...

    Pair Repairs and Mission Problems

    In real life missions not everything goes according to plan always, we've all seen our fair share of space dramas and movies depicting famous events where something didn't go to the letter of the plan and backups had to be kicked in, new missions thought of to fix things, or extra planning done...

I'd love to move from small, black and white scanners that need to be very specific in altitude to gigantic deployable dishes scanning swathes of worlds. You could even look at lag times in...

    Satellite Mechanics

    Satellite Mechanics

    In KSP there isn't a ton of reason outside of communication and initial research to create satellite networks. The mod "SCANSat" (https://spacedock.info/mod/129/SCANsat) added a ton of fantastic mechanics that enabled extensive gameplay that imitated real life space agencies. These changes drove...
