Concept:
- Create own missions by selecting from a core set of mission goals, e.g. land on the Moon, Mars flyby, etc.
- Create a space craft that might be appropriate for this mission by selecting already researched parts
- Develop / prepare the mission and finally launch it
Idea behind / pros:
- It would allow players to think in a creative way about the gameplay
- It would open up the world and allow every player to experience a different story each time they play. Furthermore players can share their stories and thus offer new approaches to other players
- Depending on the space craft selection, it would also allow players to experience more the capabilities of the space crafts and what goals they can achieve (e.g. NASA's early research of possible goals with the technology of the Apollo program has shown that they can fly to Venus and Mars(?))
Main issues / cons:
- Combination of different vessels and goals would need a huge amount of different video renderings
- Suggestion would exceed the core concept of the game
- Suggestion would require a rating of each vessel if it's capable or not
- Suggestion would complicate the easy and fun approach of the game to choose a program and go for it
Despite all the issues, it could be still interesting
