RayneCloud Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 That's Meander! A Green gas planet.. ZOMG a gas planet?!Also, the rest of the album pictures:A view of the desert planet from a moon reveals that the planet is Egar, from the Kerbal's guide to our solar system.Looks like a Kerbal tumbling through Meander!Confirmed planets:EveEgarMeanderPlease don't confirm things, because they are in FACT not confirmed as Nova has stated more than once.

haderz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 really would like them to add just one Satellite to 0.17 just so its something different to put into space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Oh I do love making people speculate...That said, you're all dead wrong so far I've had that impression from the beginning, that you've posted these images and then sit grinning behind your computer desk at the responses, like a man feeding piranhas with small bits of meat, and watching them swarm around for the tiniest bite.... That said, I love it that you post the images, since I (and probably everyone else in the community) really enjoy seeing the planets develop, and it's good that you engage in the community.

Anomalous_Matter Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It just looks like a satellite orbiting Meander IMO. The parts sticking off could be anything, from trusses to ladders to some new part or module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segaprophet Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 All I can say is, that if they add just one new planet to 0.17, it better be red! I've got Mars fever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal Nauts Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 We've recieved the final image from our lone Kerbonaut, but it seems like it didn't come through very well...It's a Kerbal Curiosity Rover closing in on a RED planet!

MilkTheFrog Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (The impossible thing in the diagram being a circular orbit with different Ap end Pe)Wikipedia doesn't say no, because Cruithne is not in a circular orbit, it's perfectly normal elliptical orbit.Ah, i'd just assumed it was like that because of some less than accurate diagram drawing. No, another circular orbit would not be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphyrinx Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 This talk about planets and their orbits intersecting is bothering me. I think the planets should be in circular orbits, no matter how unrealistic it may be. It is a game, not a fully accurate simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftgates24 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) At midnight we need .16.1 with the red planet Anyone else agree? If you don't get it then: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/news/msl20120804.htmlYay first post of the page! As for that picture... I agree with a lot of other people that it's Meander but there is a dark spot in the middle, could it be like the red spot on Jupiter Edited August 5, 2012 by swiftgates24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wasteland Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Look, there is a slim chance of a 16.1 being released tomorrow, even though I want it a bit. If MSL fails to land, and crashes, will there be a update? No! Look, he has apparently posted pictures of three planets. Gentlemen, of each planet, which we will nameABCwhat are some possible locations as to these? Inside Kerbin's orbit or outside her orbit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftgates24 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I'm making a quick one right now Yellow=(Obviously) KerbolPurple=EveRed=KerbinTan=DesertPlanetGreen=MeanderMeander is not on the same plane as all the other planets, like an 8 degree tilt.There, sorry for the poor quality, that's Microsoft Paint for ya Edited August 6, 2012 by swiftgates24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) A while ago I posted 'Lamedes' (pronounced lah-mee-dees) or 'Lemades' as a possible name for the desert planet, which NovaSilisko said he liked. (http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/16088-Hey-where-are-the-devblogs/page2) However, I'd still doubt that this will be the name, as it's too early to say any names for definite at the moment. I doubt that NovaSilisko is in charge of the names, I more suspect they will be a group thing, agreed on by the whole dev-team.

KevinTMC Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Regarding the next version...it's pointless and bad form to ask for a date, yes; but have Squad even confirmed whether they're presently working on a 0.16.1 patch, or going straight to 0.17?

voleurinconnu Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Sorry, but I don't think that would work. A gas giant in an eliptical orbit passing by the orbit of other planets would likely throw their orbits off at best. If there was an eliptically orbiting body, it would probably be the the desert planet, or Eve, though I assume that the Desert Planet is going to be most people's first interplanetary target, and as such will be like the moon and have a roughly circular orbit with zero inclination.

swiftgates24 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 At this rate, I doubt there will be a .16.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There won't be a 0.16.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
