So you are saying, that I need to perform all these 5 missions below?
1. Land on the Moon and get back to Earth.
2. Land on Mars and get back to Earth: Just like the Moon mission before.
3. Build a space station around Earth: must be at least four separated launches, all rendezvous in LEO and docked together. You must document all 4 missions so the challenge counts as valid. The station must be complete, meaning it has an habitation module, solar panels, an escape craft, a separate docking area, and a way to change its orbit.
4. Launch the supplied probe and reach solar escape velocity. No gravity assists, nor Ion engines. Starting position is the launchpad. The launch vehicle is limited to a total mass of 265 tons.
5. Land on Mercury with what certain conditions? With two solar panels opened and not damaged after the landing? Or something else?
Missions 1, 2, 4 and 5 will not consume too much time, so i can do this. But mission 3 will consume a lot of time and all this time will be spent totally useless, completely for nothing, with zero fun at all. That is more than awful.
Can you at least replace №3 with another mission? Please, with any other mission you can think of, which will not waste tons of time for boring useless activity.
For example, i can build huge refueler station around Earth for my future mission "Landing on Saturn ground and coming home at Realistic level of game difficulty". This mission can benefit from such refueling station, it will allow me to upload to orbit bigger parts of Saturn ship with each launch from Earth, given that i can upload those parts with empty fuel tanks. So at least my time will not be totally wasted and the game will remain interesting all the time. I can do 4+ separate launches from Earch and assemble complete gas station in orbit.
I don't want any badges at all, so you can give me no badge for skipped 3rd mission and i will be totally happy. I want only forum messages editing feature and that is all.
