LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Why not have the random encounter on the beaches of Laythe when they land. Then they can shoot it and cook it in the ways we have described earlier!Edit: But having it in the fiction is ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Come on Leon! Who says something that even remotely looks like a Crab would have evolved on Laythe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Come on Leon! Who says something that even remotely looks like a Crab would have evolved on Laythe.If we assume that the Laythe environment is like earths/kerbins then crustaceans could of evolved. Lots of factors but still, its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Aye, for all we know there could be tentacle monsters! Oh no.... The implications....Well, a tentacled crab then? With the pincers at the end of each tentacle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Come on Leon! Who says something that even remotely looks like a Crab would have evolved on Laythe.It's one of those things that's interesting to discuss. Could something like that grow there? Do Laythe's oceans contain enough oxygen to support large creatures? Is the chemical in the water that prevents it from freezing (ammonia, I think) safe for possible sea life? Other thing I always wondered: Are the landmasses of Laythe actually sand (I think it would be washed away into the sea) or is it just a brown wavy rock?

LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Calamari!!!Then instead of crab soup, calamari soup? It could still be ion engine heated, with blutonium and xenon gas in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or beaches? We want crab soup with xenon and blutonium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 According to Nova Laythe is made out of POLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONSPOLYGONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how Laythe is right now. It's a very calm and peaceful world. Not looking forward to it becoming a murky, volcanic radioactive hell.

LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It would be nice if we could have a habitable planetary body like a moon to colonise in KSP. But wouldn't Laythe be inside's Jool's radiation belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chobit-389 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was thinking a permanent super-hurricane that drifts it's way around the seas.And yes, but there's always ways around radiation belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 How? Lead shielding or underwater bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 How? Lead shielding or underwater bases?If Laythe has a strong magnetic field, it would repel the radiation, and would also make pretty northern lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 So am I the only one that thinks Laythe would be bitchin' as hell if it was like Mustafar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonG17 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If Laythe has a strong magnetic field, it would repel the radiation, and would also make pretty northern lights!Pretty lights...It would have to be very strong that close to Jool and also for the size of Laythe.Edit: It would be interesting but not much fun to land and colonise if it was volcanic. You wouldn't want to land in lava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It would be interesting but not much fun to land and colonise if it was volcanic. You wouldn't want to land in lava.Making it far more interesting and fun.You'd have to carefully choose where to land, and account for things like the heat and stuff, and it'd be super rich in resources but they would be hard to get. You could also make gliders using the heat being radiated from all over!And things like volcanic rock being spat out, posing a risk to unprotected aircraft.

daveboy2000 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Okay, this is what I've got for animal and plant life for the PfL-Verse:Kerbol: It's a star... you figure it out.Moho: NothingEve: Basic algae and microbial life in the shallows of the seas. No life on landGilly: NothingKerbin: Very Earth-like life, only a few minor differencesMun: NothingMinmus: NothingDuna: Very rare bacterial life deep undergroundIke: NothingDres: NothingJool: NothingLaythe: Vast aquatic ecosystems and other crazy alien fish. Surface life is all beach-based, nothing inlandVall: NothingTylo: NothingBop: NothingPol: NothingEeloo: *CLASSIFIED*Considering Eve's oceans appear to contain blutonium in quantities that allow hydroscooping for extraction, that water is so radioactive that life there would be... Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 So am I the only one that thinks Laythe would be bitchin' as hell if it was like Mustafar?Probably. Moho's gonna be like Mustafar, anyway. Once they get lava working! Until the, enjoy Rareden's awesome fanart!http://i.imgur.com/EJvW327.jpgNow, back to the topic: This might be going into the sci-fi realm now, but is it actually possible to strengthen a planet's magnetic field? Say, a bunch of large poles around the globe that discharge electricity into the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
