The Venera missions

Post by kokubokan25 »

I know is a game feature but, IMHO it's very weird the Venera 15 must be launched before the other Veneras. It's true the Venera 15 is only a flyby mission (easy) and the others are landers and orbiters but is strange..

Why not name the Veneras like "Venera flyby type", "Venera lander type" or something and when you launched the mission be capable to rename the mission like Venera 1, 2, 3, etc...

Is so dificult to make those changes to game?

Hello Fremen,

Yes, I see what you mean. We're not planning to provide the ability to rename missions for release, but we'll certainly add it to the backlog and see if we can fit it in a patch post-release.

It might seem a trivial change from the outside, but when you start digging a little bit it involves changes in the UI, in the back-end and it opens up a whole can of worms and, being one month away from Gold Master, I prefer to focus on wrapping up the essential stuff [;)]

Cheers,
