What are contracts that you throw in the trash or ignore.

[BigBallinChester]

Specific testing contracts are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumbest missions I ever seen. Testing an engine part going at some random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ speed at some elevation is pure rage inducing.

You probably don't want to click Decline except when you're just starting out. That -1 reputation doesn't sound like a lot, but in the late game it can take forever to earn that back.

I just let cheesy contracts expire.

[Docsprock]

All of them. I cannot stand Career mode.

Test XL Landing gear on escape velocity of the Mun - that one seems to come around every other month or so....

I just turned off the penaly for declining contracts in the options. Its a bit stupid to be penalised for not accepting a contract you didnt ask for. If I accept a contract and fail it, I should absolutely be penalised.

Contracts I dont accept are any ones that entail asteroids, shipping ore from one body to another, and observational studies. The obs ones can take hours when your on a low G body in a rover. Shipping ore seems pointless. As does mining an asteroid, as I have plenty of gear on local moons for mining off world.

Apart from those 3 I tend to take everything else that comes up.

OK, seriously. Lately, I've not had any 'below' altitude survey contracts in a long time. I miss them.

I'm still not good at 'flying above 18000 meters' and still hitting the target zone.

I do sattellite placements and surveys and those rally missions where they want you to land on multiple planets with 1 craft.
Tourist contracts are almost always declined and I'm cheating a bit and turned off the -1 rep for declining.
All the other missions are accepted if I think i can tack them onto another mission.
I don't mind hauling an extra decoupler to Duna.

Tourism contracts...

Go to jool and eeloo and eve and back in one flight, HAAAAA my butt.

You dont need to do them in one flight for tourism contracts. In fact tourism is one of the best paying contracts there is.

[GeneralVeers]

Specially if you fly twelve tourists on one ship!

[maj.solo]

science contracts in the atmosphere or on the ground of kerbin. After I completed the tech tree I dont need the science anymore so need not those contracts since my scientists make money for me instead.

[BigBallinChester]

tourists contracts are piss easy. If you shape your craft right you can fit 5 tourists in a small vehicle and send it into space pretty cheapily. I made a small fortune doing that and enough to fund the other projects like going to mun and duna.

[joshuacwilder]

I always check the criteria for the testing contracts, if it's something feasable then I'll go for it, if it's totally out there, like testing a mk 16XL parachute on an escape trajectory out of Jool, I'll pass. Also, I'm very careful accepting any rescue contract that has more then one star, because that usually means they're stuck in a Molnoya orbit or something else that's highly eccentric. And High-G adventures, I tried that once and found that it's actually quite hard to get a Kerbal to pass out from GLOC on demand, so I skip those.

[tkraftson]

Anyone that requires testing a giant piece of equipment in orbit of some mun or planet.
Anyone that requires surveying some temperature or pressure around Kerbin in a specific location.
Also I never decline any, just let them expire on their own.

I actually only tried career mode once, didnt like it from the contracts, so i normally only do the science mode
