⟨dannyb3001⟩ Are there any principia related contracts or science experiments (for career mode) that encourage the use of complicated orbits? Additionally, is there a more elegant way to create a flight plan without first designing a ship (I how you can just redesign it, but I would love to have a way to build ships based around a specified flight plan as opposed to planning around a ship).
<queqiao->
⟨reabean⟩ I don’t think so. it would be cool to have contracts around any of the lagrange points
<queqiao->
⟨reabean⟩ Not really sure how you make contracts that can see that specific orbit though
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ No, to both questions. Though to the first question there is work ongoing around #σκοπός; but the idea there is not to tell you to get into any specific complicated orbit, but to give you high-level objectives and to let you come up with orbits that allow you to meet these.

⟨egg⟩ (While that has not yet transpired in that channel, there is renewed work on that front; but for now things are limited to telecommunication satellites, because one must eat the elephant steak in chunks.)

⟨dannyb3001⟩ that is incredibly cool, thank you
