Even if you are barely warping. I am a ******* idiot. Thanks for your help, I had a kind of "glasses on the forehead" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only kind of time warp you can do while on EVA is the physics time warp (alt + time warp) but then you are tempting fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't visit the surface without returning to Kerbin, and can only get partial science from Transmission. Absolutely zero incentive to spend any time going to Eve in the first place. Also, KSP doesn't model aerodynamic drag properly in the first place (Especially since wing surfaces fly just as good backwards as they do forwards). Setting the atmospheric pressure that high more or less inhibits any kind of craft movement, including rovers (Had one tear itself apart trying to go above a few meters per second). Also, I don't think Kerbals sprinting should be producing mach effects and randomly generating G's of acceleration from turning while sprinting. Also, like I stated earlier, even with Venus's air pressure, if you put a rocket on the surface, it's still going to generate thrust and obtain some type of vertical velocity, not have the atmosphere generate negative velocity out of your engine. One more thing about the issue of rocket thrust on Eve (and i dont see that is has been addressed in the previous comments), but if you understand how rocket engines work, then you'll know that the thrust they can produce is in part dependent on the what's called ''back pressure'' (i.e.: the pressure of the surrounding env.). As the back pressure increases, the thrust decreases and vice-versa (this is why a rocket's Isp increases as it reaches higher altitudes with diminishing atmospheric pressure and maxes out in a vacuum). Since Eve/Venus's atm pressure is SO great, your rocket engine's isp and thrust will be considerably lower than what they would do on Kerbin/Earth. Just some additional food for thought. 5 hours ago, Voodoo8648 said: ''Your greed for "100%" science extraction blinds you to the realities of space exploration. This is a space simulator. '' Savage!

The Alt-Scroll feature is a great way to get good screenshots. That's how he got some of those pictures with all the moons in a system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Betelgeuse Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 @Galileo, or anyone, dos anyone know what installing GPP does to the game? Does it replace the stock starting system, or add the planets to another system or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they don't want to risk contaminating Saturn's moons. A spacecraft like Cassini is bound to have Earth bacteria on it, and it could possibly contaminate habitable moons of Saturn (like Enceladus). So they will crash it into Saturn to eliminate the risk.

I think planets (and moons) have already been 'contaminating' each other for a long time (impactdebris, ...). But I'll miss the pretty pictures from Cassini!
