  1. That looks beautiful! Where did the structures along the runway come from?
  2. If memory serves, Saturn has an axial tilt of about 26 degrees, though it's never evident in any of its pictures because of the lack of a reference point. Is it possible to give the clouds' axis of rotation a tilt to match the inclination of the rings? It might make them look less weird.
  3. The rings look really dark in those images. If I hadn't been looking for them I probably would have missed them in the first image. Can you make it look like they're reflecting light more from Jool along the innermost ring and more from Kerbol on the outermost ring? In those images I think I'm seeing the innermost ring as slightly greener, but it's really hard to tell.
  4. I've gotten to the point in my career mode where it's easy to build my own spaceplanes for sending crews to orbit and the 3.75 m rockets make it more efficient to launch multiple cargos at once, so my KSOs have gotten a little dusty in their hangars (still love them, though). But for me, the station parts are indispensable. Case and point: my Interplanetary Transfer Vehicle Navalla A little over 6.1 km/s deltaV with accommodations for 5 kerbals, destined for Duna. The only things missing now are the lander, science packages, and the crew.
  5. Eve from orbit looks beautiful! Maybe you can chalk the glowing surface up to radioactive elements in the soil interacting with Eve's weird atmosphere chemistry? I like how eerie the surface looks with the ominous clouds overhead and the ghostly glow from the ground.
  6. I'm not sure if I should be proud of that pun or not Now I really wish Laythe was on an inclined orbit so you could get a good view of the rings from its surface. They look beautiful!
  7. Maybe a pale gold color for the rings? I think of it like an emerald gem in a gold setting.
  8. The solution's simple enough: don't install the dependencies and don't copy over KSPRC's configs. KSP modding makes it really easy to pick an choose what you want.
  9. You've got them right. The cells themselves are made of silicon doped with gallium arsenide protected by a layer of clear coverglass on an aluminum honeycomb substrate. They're quite brittle and almost completely black. The gold color comes from the flexible kapton sheeting they're embedded in, which is unique to the ISS' larger arrays and allows them to fold into their containers while still being extremely lightweight for their size. The blue color you might occasionally see comes from Earth's reflection in the coverglass. Both the KSO and the station parts are brilliantly done, and every station I build from now on will incorporate those beautiful panels and a berth for one of your orbiters (I love launching it, delivering a payload / servicing a station, and gliding it back to the landing strip. Still working on touching down without summersaulting, though).
