Expeditions - the ground game

[caerfinon]

Expeditions are long term deployments on Kerbin

• can be supported by air for resupply
• for each BIOME on the planet
• duration can be long
• progress from base camp to additional camps (some camps have KK structures) local random way points to explore around each camp before proceeding. Parameters completed, + overall mission rewards science points)
• travel on land/water/mountain climbing (Piton parts provided for KIS/KAS)

ideas

• Mountain climbing without using flight (Highest peak, K2, etc)
• river exploration "source of the nile"
• Desert explorations
• Badlands archeology
• Oceanography - Surface and sub

Mountaineering expedition complete

[caerfinon]

Need to reorganize mission progress.

1. TKA flights are for airports only
2. Introduction flights to Hinterland, UK, KSIS, and KGO missions
3. KSIS will be only agency flying missions to Top Secret Area 15. Add Cargo, VIK, and two stop passenger options
4. Hinterland test mission to lake near KSC
5. KGO test mission a Kamping trip for a week to Kaytoo, then Random deployments for 1 month, then river expedition
