Career mode looks to be procedural, which is alright I guess. I don't want to end up doing the same quest infinitely though and being stuck on the same 10m height limit (havent yet unlocked the second launch pad).
Does anyone know what quest will unlock launch pads? Otherwise I'll just give up on career mode.
Quick Deployment mission from general chuck unlocks Ali Base Pad. you'll have to complete the first orbit tutorial and then a couple of cubesat mission from ... is it' Prof. Pricklesprick (close enough). Then the quick deployment mission should pop up!
