[BUG(?)] All missions from previous games still here?

[TheCanadianVending]

Hello! I don't know if this is a feature, or a problem. The Earth Orbiting Research Satalites, to three crew ballistic capsules are open. So I do not have to complete Sputnik, to unlock Vostok. Or, I can just go to Apollo if I wanted. Is this a feature, or a bug? Thanks!

Hello there,

It's a feature, yes A couple of months ago we made an extensive redesign in the game's database in order to get rid of the rigid X-15 -> Mercury -> Gemini -> Apollo route. Now you'll be able to try unconventional approaches, such as opening Apollo right from the start, or skipping Mercury and go for a Gemini -> Lunar Gemini approach.

Cheers,

Alright, thanks Nacho! I couldn't find this in any of the change notes.

No problem at all! Take a look at the notes from 0.7.16 ("Redesign of the goal dependencies that were imposed on the manned programs: now players won’t be forced to take the X-15 -> Mercury -> Gemini -> Apollo route and will be able to open, for example, the Saturn V booster program from the very beginning of the game and open the Apollo program right after deploying their first satellite in Earth orbit. ").

It makes me happy that you missed it, though, because it means our changelog is getting quite extensive

Cheers,
