Program Organization seems Loopy

This may be just me but just a suggestion here. I would like to see the option to see all missions by type of craft. Key example: If I am looking at Gemini then I would like to be able to have it show me all possible Gemini missions together rather than having to switch over to the Moon to see the lunar missions. One thing that I would suggest that might be helpful as well would be to look at the old mission selection interface in Race Into Space where you sort of had the piano keys style of selection where you picked the attributes you wanted for the mission and then it showed you compatible missions. I know I have always had problems finding the various missions because they are not logically organized by program but destination. When I say program here, I mean like you buy the Apollo program and your missions are split between the earth and the moon. There is no option to say "Give me all possible Apollo Missions" or "Give me all possible Extended Duration Manned Missions with a Space Walk". It would be helpful to at least have an option to be able to view the missions by spacecraft instead of by destination planet in my opinion as this makes it easier to locate the Earth Orbital missions that are the test missions for the Lunar Landings and Lunar missions and would give you a better visual about when you have met the criteria to move on to the Lunar Missions by having everything all together.

Hello dapullia,

Welcome to the forums! Indeed, we're planning to move away from the current 'mission configurations' scheme to an approach more similar to BARIS, where a mission profile gets selected and then you'd need to choose the appropriate mission components depending on the profile requirements.

Cheers,
