COLLOSALSMURF

As CyanAstro said: Nate Simpson already stated that procedural solar panels were deemed functionally useless given the introduction of interstellar travel and far future technologies being introduced in KSP 2, however in my opinion I think procedural solar panels are a no brainer for freedom of customization in designing spacecraft, especially since the news that the early access release of KSP 2 is only launching with the stock solar system which makes the afformentioned points rather redundant. I think there hasn't been enough emphesis on the cosmetic side of craft building in KSP, especially since after a few thousand hours in the game players like myself stop worrying about acheiving purely functional spacecraft and tend to find joy in just creating things which simply look aesthetically pleasing/recreating real world or conceptual spacecraft. This is where I think procedural solar panels could fill a niche. Unfortunately I doubt it's high on the list of priorities for the development team atm if ever :/

I assume Merbel is the icy moon which we saw at the end of the original 2019 cinematic trailer? It appears to be orbiting Glumo

Hold on, do Kerbals even speak English?

Do you know when your in orbit, and you see those distant stars? Their are big, small, dim, bright and even galaxies (one that I have seen). But what if that could change, what if they could explode before your very derpy kerbal eyes? It would just take a few pixels to move and it would look pretty cool. Plus if it was done correctly, then it could be like real life, an exploding star as bright as the sun...

All I know that stay's the same is the galaxy in the distance, maybe we should name that first as it has been there long enough?
