HarvesteR Easter Egg

[Vanamonde]

ANYWAY. 

How about some thing to honor HarvesteR, no matter what it's called? 

[FungusForge]

I'd have to say the statue on the mountains west of KSC is my favorite.

[Pthigrivi]

This is a memorial I worked on: http://www.archdaily.com/256516/memorial-to-the-abolition-of-slavery-wodiczko-bonder Technically a memorial to a still living idea. Modern slavery is still a tremendous problem, and we spent a good bit of our time focusing on it. 

*ahem* right, yes, a big ole statue in the mountains seems quite nice.

I also like the combine harvester idea. There should be one on every body in the system. Including Jool and the Sun.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I'd be happy with just adding HarvesteR Kerman or Felipe Kerman to the name pool, too.

What about a Mount Rushmore type monument somewhere in the solar system? I'm cool with a statue too, or maybe have a giant image of Felipe in the sun, visible when near it like the sunspots.

I agree with a giant stature of him on some remote place, and maybe a more obscure statue in some unexpected place in the KSC.

Could have him toiling away in the background in Admin, and R&D, and Mission COntrol, and the Astronaut complex, and wandering around in the VAB/SPH

If we're going for symbolism, how about a statue of a Kerbal hammering a pitchfork into a rocket...

How about we use this opportunity to give credits to Dres?

We can put the statue of HarvesteR at the top of a mountain overlooking the planet.

I think he should also get a job somewhere in ksc and be a reliable companion for new players. dunno what he would like to do if he was a kerbal and employed by the kerbal space agency. perhaps someone in mission control or the science guy or just a member of the ground crew, his choice. 

beside that, I would also like the addition of a saturn analogue named Felipe, his favorite parts being manufactured by HarvesteR Corp. or a new part like the Falanghe Phalanx Space Telescope.

I was thinking about that. I think we should temporarily put the KSC flag at half-staff.

Can we please revive Harvest from @NovaSilisko's original plans? I think having a dwarf - moon - thing would be a perfect statement.

How about we temporally change ksp's name to Felipe's Space Program? 

[klesh]

I'd like to see a classy plaque for him at the KSC.  

I would also like to see that OG kerbal sketch he made be turned into a texture on some plaque at a far off location.

That's perfect! Kerbin could have either a third moon somewhere, perhaps a gilly sized rock near LKO or a mun sized Trojan companion a few degrees ahead or behind in its orbit.

[ThatGuyWithALongUsername]

From the 1.1.3 changelog:

* Added Felipe to crew name generation.

We did it! Kinda wish it was a little more than that, however.

[SpaceplaneAddict]

how bout a nice Dresian moon that's named after HarvestR(Felipe) and has basically everything Felipe likes on it?

i'll take my leave now

*Determination.

Or a random dresteroid (1/50 ish) that spawns with that. Or, somebody add one with Kopernicus!

I was thinking about doing that once KittopiaTech decided to work for me.

Except whatever this will be they must disguise it as terrain because then an algorithm won't find it and it will be moar fun.

[Dobelong]

Maybe a HarvestR Memorial next to the old Mk1 command pod?

[TheCardinal]

I also think that Felipe deserves a lasting Easter Egg in the game. Adding his name to the crew name generation should only be a first step. I can't beat the many excellent suggestions which have been posted until now. One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is to name a comet after him. The comet should have a highly eliptical orbit and a cometary tail which (dis-)appears at a plausible distance from the sun. No information about it should be available in map view until it has passed the orbit of Jool. The shape of the comet should be like the HarvestR's avatar but only if the tail hasn't spawned yet.

[RocketSquid]

Place a trio of statues: Kerbin, Laythe, and Eeloo.

Kerbin to remind us where we began.

Laythe to show that amazing things can be found in strange places.

Eeloo to mark just how far we've gotten.
