    Guys, rivers totally exist.  They are just static and have no flowing water.  I took these through wayback machine kerbalmaps, so they are kinda low-res.

     

    You're entirely correct, my bad :) 

    What I would love is some more varied biomes on Kerbin. Without a doubt it's possible to create stuff like forests, lakes, you name it... You know, the stuff that makes our own planet earth so beautiful. I understand that the engine has limitations but give the planets some love.

  2. Hey I'm gonna try this with my chink 3 monitor setup- I have a 1280x1024+1920x1080+1440x900 setup, so that's gonna be a fun time :D Hope it works, that'd be lit. 

     

    edit. I tried it; it doesn't crash, but the secondary window that I get is filled with garbage:

    I know this is with the texture mods, so I tried on a clean install but to no avail, I still get the garbage and the window doesn't do anything. I'm at work right now, if you need logs please hit me up on IRC PM (aeTIos) and I'll try to debug this with you. Running ArchLinux.

  3. YES YES YES YES.

    For example, once you have established a mining operation, it would grow and shrink as your skill in managing the people, resources, and infrastructure ebb and flow. Same with colonies on other planets / star systems. Interstellar trade and deals would be possible. Flights would automatically fly, Resources would automatically be accrued, and shipbuilding would progress in an automated fashion... Astronauts (Kerbalnauts) would be hired, fired, live and die in an automated way. When you wanted, you could drill down into the guts of the game and fly a mission yourself, or work on some portion of the grand systems that make a space faring civilization go...

    That would be amazing. I'd love to set up a mining operation, train kerbals to do it, and next let it run and generate money for me to fund my other missions. Currently I think in career everything is too dragged out, takes too long. For stuff like this to really work though, we need stock mechanisms that make for better base building, etc. I personally love tycoon like games, and while I do not expect KSP to be a management game the size of rollercoaster tycoon, or a strategy the scale of Total War, it could use some more.

    Dude if this gets added somehow either stock or mod I'll be so hooked.

    Now I'm pumped. You totally described the game I imagined when I read the catchphrase on the KSP page, three years ago. Squad, make this happen. If you don't know how to, ask on the forums for input from modders and players. You can do it :D

  4. The whole licence thing was sort of confusing to me, so I just picked one. Um.. I changed it for now... I'm not sure I can, but I suppose any updated version will now wont be WTFPL?

    The way you said it made it sound as if you could post it and claim copyright on it and then force me to take it down... so I preemptively did that myself.

    Um....

    Yeah, kinda this. You basically say 'I don't take any rights on this thing that I made with my own hands, do whatever the .... you want with it'. Better take some credit, especially on a part pack :P The licence I'd suggest is something that allows others to change and fork but they still have to credit you as the original author. I don't really know what the name for that is ^.^''

  5. Just thinking, what about making the contract long-term, e.g. the satellite has to stay in orbit for a minimum of 1 year, and you get paid over time? That way you can't re-use it. Also, you could somehow link the vessel to the mission, for example, you have to designate the mission as being this particular one. Not sure how that would work for multi-launches, though.

  6. Not sure how much this contributes to this thread, but my camera can see Jupiter plus moons without any telescope:

    (30x zoom, 10 seconds shutter if memory serves me correct)

    I haven't tried catching Saturn on a pic yet because I don't know where to look for it ^^' Jupiter is very prominent in the winter sky so it's fairly easy to point a camera at it. I'm still planning to get an actual telescope, though, so I'll be following this thread.
