I chose Dres, mainly for pity points though. I'm sure it gets lonely from time to time.

Aw poor dres always lonely. dres needs a friend for sure

Favorite body is probably Minmus. It's so fun to go to. It's an usual place, it's right around the corner, and it's about the easiest body to land and take off from.

[Alshain]

Val, Laythe, and Tylo are planets now?

[Vaporo]

Laythe. Because it's fun to take SSTOs there and I'm not creative.

[briansun1]

Laythe. Mostly due to Macey dean's YT series.

[Francois424]

Voted Duna, tho almost voted Jool (the moons aren't planets imho, and Jool's just so cool and has a lot to offer).

Ultimately Duna offered some nice possibilities early on... Now that I am fairly competent at docking and even building my space station, might spend a lot more time at Jool

Tho If I would have to establish a Kerbal base somewhere, Duna would be my first pick.

Like I said, I would've voted for both if it were possible... since not, Duna's my pick !

[MiniMatt]

Got to be Jool.

Not necessarily the planet itself, but the whole system just has everything you could wish for. Stunning scenery, easy transfers around the system, bit of spaceplane action on Laythe, low grav fun on Bop & Pol, excruciating fingernail-pulling landings on Tylo, interesting architecture on Vall.

The Jool-5 challenge, and Xeldrak's old BSC challenges, have easily provided the most fun.

well spotted they are moons but I said they are allowed just to be fair on them

[Stratzenblitz75]

I voted for Dres. There's just something about it that captivates me. Dres sits on the border between the inner planets(Duna, Eve, Kerbin) and the outer planets (Jool, Eeloo), in this way it could be thought of as a "transition" planet, a world between worlds. That combined with its lonely and desolate atmosphere and its massive canyon makes it seem so mysterious to me...

[Jon Tash]

Duna just for the Mars-like feeling I have when I land or drive around on it.

[Renegrade]

Dres is an angry space potato, dammit.

See? It's even labelled as such. :Trollface:

On a more serious note: Eve is majestically purple, even if it has an angry spud of a mun, and Duna is fairly interesting to observe and be on (not as majestic as Eve, but it's mun is less of an angry spud), with it's wispy atmosphere and redness. Vall is a haunting, beautiful place... it's hard to pick!

[Majorjim!]

I would say Kerbin is my favourite planet as it's home to my

Beloved Kerbals and without it no other planets would be visited.

Having said that Eve with clouds is a magical place to visit and always gives

me goose bumps when I break through the thick cloud layer.

[SkyRex94]

Jool, as its nature as a Gas Giant, and its moon-system. But if GP2 gets somewhere near my wishes for it, it will become my new favorite (Blue With Rings, a Titan and an Iapetus(and some others))

[problemecium]

Boycotting the list because Kerbol isn't on it. ;P

[BDelacroix]

It is a toss up between Jool, Laythe and Duna. I voted Duna because that is my current location of focus.

[Spartwo]

It used to be Eeloo but the views from Lathe are just gorgeous and now that you can stand on boats there's a lot more area to see.

[Megalodon 720]

Dres, I love that place, one of the first planet's I managed to land on and return, and now I have extensive stations and bases there.

[Megalodon 720]

Dres is an angry space potato, dammit.

What is that graph thing supposed to mean? Distances between the bodies?

[Spartwo]

What is that graph thing supposed to mean? Distances between the bodies?

Gravity wells.

It is a visual representation of the planets' "gravity wells". Renegrade's graph is based on this

edit: The ninja is real..

[TimberWolffe]

For me it's a close one between Duna and Moho, but Duna wins for me because it's the first planet other than Kerbin I successfully landed on, gathered scientific science, then returned home. Also rather pretty despite being nothing but orange

[CalculusWarrior]

Relative gravity wells, see http://xkcd.com/681/

EDIT: Whoops, ninja'd! This thread moves fast!

[r_rolo1]

To me it is definitely Kerbin, even without beautification mods. It has by far the more varied landscapes of the planetary system and the sunrise/sunsets are sometimes really the stuff of paintings...
