A few ideas for new challenges on the 2010 edition.
Intermediate
1. KSC to BB. A full flight from KSC to the Moon, and a two-fold challenge: a). Use the least amount of fuel, (take off ANY time you want from the scenario start, the challenge begins when you use your engines.)
b) With a full tank of fuel at your disposal, use the least amount of time. (You can wait for any kind of "window" you think will get you there faster, [again] the challenge starts when you use your engines).
Intermediate
2. Mars or bust! (KSC to Olympus Base)
For most of us, the first interplanetary trip we make, is an Earth to Mars transfer. You can plot any slingshot plan you want, but the goal is to land on Mars, within a reasonable time-scale -how does 4 years sound? (open to suggestions)- using the least amount of fuel.
Advanced
3. Europa! Europa! (Landed on Earth to landed on Europa. My favorite moon in our solar system.)
Time limit: 10 years (debateable of course, as all other propositions here).
Again, fuel usage is of the essence.
Expert
4. Aerosling. (My latest favourite!)
Oh, wait... flytandem already proposed such a thing on the "Go around" challenge. But... can you do it in an XR2?
Just throwing out a few ideas of challenges that might be fun to complete.
All of them will have a Lua script, same as the "stock" 2010 challenges.
Just opening a discussion on what kind of challenges you'd like to see.
